I have adjusted pretty well, I still feel like I need to eat at night. Most of the time I'll eat like a mini bag of popcorn when I feel like that. I wake up and drink a Protein Shake in the morning and by lunch time I'm pretty hungry. I really like cheese, it's easy to eat and it doesn't hurt. So I'll eat a cheese stick with some turkey or chicken. And dinners I make normal things for my family and eat what I can. I'm still doing good with my portion sizes. I have not been the perfect patient, i do go out on the weekends and have drinks and I have been getting into the Halloween candy but I think it's ok to enjoy every now and then. As for my pre weight loss, I lost 20 pounds. I wasn't required to loose weight I was just supervised by the doctor for 6 months. She put me on phentermine, and it helped me loose weight but it made me really mean and short tempered. Overall I'm so happy with my results, now I really need to step it up and work out more and make sure I get in all my Protein. Thank you all for your nice comments!

And I didn't have any complications or side effects. I still get heart burn which sucks. I was released the day after my surgery, barely any pain, no gas pain. I was up and walking around right after I woke up from anesthesia. I think I stayed in bed for three days then I felt like I was ready to get back to house work. I guess a side effect would be I'm always cold but it's an easy fix!

It is hard for me to believe that your current photo is at 190 pounds. You look amazing. How tall are you? I should also try to get down to 160 but am not optimistic that I will make it. If I look as great as you when I hit 190 I may just stop there. Thanks for sharing your photos

Thank you! I really haven't exercised ive gone on a couple walks here and there but don't have a gym membership. My weight loss has slowed down a lot so im getting a membership this week. I think doing this in my twenties has helped with the weight loss too.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
