Congratulations on your weightloss everyone! I live in Conroe, and had my surgery July 11, in Tijuana Mexico. Was a little scared, but a friend had gone a couple of years ago and had fabulous results, so I bit the bullet and did it. So glad I did! I was 255 the day I started my pre-op diet, I was 242 day of surgery, and today I am 229! I am so excited. I am on the full liquid diet until thursday, then I start the pureed diet. I am still hungry, I think. It may be all in my head though. I do fine when noone around me is eating, but as soon as I get around family and they are enjoying their meals I am like a mad person. I have cheated, one bite of a chicken leg, one bite of some cheese bread, and about 1/2 a teaspoon of peach cobbler - not all in one day. The chicken was the hardest on me, I felt it go down very slowly, felt nausous and swore I would never cheat again. Of course I did. Anyone else putting their lives on the line for just one bite? Why do we do this to ourselves? I beat myself up over it then drink my Soup or Protein shake. Anyone having issues with gas? I have never been a gassy person, but now it seems like I get gas just by drinking Water. Good luck to all! :D

March 17th Sleever from League City. UTMB Dr. Gomez did my surgery and have been very satisfied with the care. Dr. Gomez has a lot of experience and I had zero complications! Down almost 100 pounds since I started the process. Couldn't be happier.

I started program at UTMB out of Galveston. Very difficult time working with nurse practitioner, Jeanette Negrotto. Would not recommend clinic because they use para-proffesionals. Had surgery in December 2015 with Dr. Garth Davis. Very please with the surgery and after care. Highly recommend their program over UTMB.

      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!!

      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! 😞
