Went and had a upper GI Endoscopy today. Dr said my tummy looked great from the surgery and not my gallbladder! Yay but my tummy was inflamed and that is probably what my problems had been coming from. Gave me RX for Carafate to take 4 times a day and back on full liquids for 2 weeks to give tummy a break :) so happy it was nothing to bad

Excellent news

I am nearly 2 months out (tomorrow will make it exact), and I am down 41 pounds ! My co workers are buzzing, and a few have congratulated me on my loss! Mum is still the word...just not their business! I'm ever thankful for this surgery! Last night hubby and I went for a walk, and he noted I did not complain of being tired, or asking to stop to catch my breath! Lol!

Glad many of you al are doing and looking great!

I'm 4 months out and I have lost 76 lbs. The first couple of months were rough...ended up with a stricture that had to be dilated. Since then, all is good. I'm feeling better, eating more variety of foods and have more energy. Simple things like walking up the stairs to the movie theatre, walking the neighborhood with my kids, even BATHING SUIT SHOPPING! Never thought I would enjoy that:)

My surgery was March 12th. I'm down 39lbs. I feel like the weight loss is a little slow in comparison but I try not to let that get me down. So far I haven't had any trouble with any food. I guess that's a good thing but I also worry I could fall back into old habits. I have also been a little slow at establishing an exercise routine which could play a big part in my weight loss numbers. I have gone walking for the last 4 days in a row so I am proud of that. I feel so much better when I know I got in my exercise. So to sum things up...I don't regret this surgery one bit!! But every day is a struggle to do the right thing. I just pray I can be successful. I'm so afraid I'm going to fail yet again.

So i had to have an upper Gi endoscopy on Friday because I was having issues keeping solid food down. I am 5 weeks out and kept getting very nauseous and vomiting half of what I would eat up. In the endo the my doc had to dilate my sleeve. He said it was a little too tight and not allowing solid food to pass smoothly no matter how much I chewed it up. I am relieved that I am able to eat a little better. I am down 41lb from my highest weight and down 2 dress sizes so I am happy.

I had my surgery on march 31...I had lost 10 pounds in my 10 day liquid diet before surgery and I have lost another 21 pounds since my surgery. I started at 210 and now I am 179 plus my height is 5 feet. I want to be down to 110-120. Am thinking it would take a good year to reach my goal and I am excited to be going down this journey. Plus I am eating better, no more health issues and I am much more energetic than I was before. So this works and it will keep working. God bless us all with strength to reach our goals so we can live a healthy life.

Painfully slow here as well :( it'll be 2 months on the 12th and I'm down 29 since surgery (39 total). Much slower than I expected, but I just keep truckin'. Hope everyone else is doing well. :)

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

      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! 😞
