Thanks everyone. I lost 179 pounds I was 338 to start with and in 159 now. My goal is 130, so about 30 more to go. I had my surgery July 2013, I work full time as a restaurant manager and am mother of twins that are 2 and a half now. I could not drink the Protein Shakes until about a month ago. In the beginning it would make me gav just couldn't handle them. Now I drink 1 a day. I don't follow the diet plan 100%, have some chips popcorn, maybe a cookie every on e in a while. No soft drinks though, I stick to tea with splenda mostly. Lean ham, cheese, bacon, fish, chicken, sometimes ground beef, occasionally a tortilla she'll, side dishes after Protein may eat a bite or 2 of a vegetable , rice, noodles, I might could eat a couple of bites now but that's it I was in extreme pain, in and out of the hospital for the first 2 weeks after surgery. After the drain tube was taken out I got better, but I had no desire for food for a long time. I would literally have to make myself eat a little bit, now I do feel hungry sometimes but no where near what it was

      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! 😞
