6 weeks post-op and down over 30lbs which I was a little bummed about since I thought I would have lost more weight.... but then I tried on my "skinny" jeans and they were loose! I have to keep reminding myself that not all weight is fat. Being more acive means there's new muscles developing too. Throwing those jeans into the Plato's Closet pile of clothing made me do a happy dance!

Eliminate the word only from you vocabulary. I only lost 30lbs becomes I lost 30lbs.

Add an exclamation mark and a pinch of enthusiasm. Mix well, and serve warm:

Hey everybody, look at me go! I lost 30lbs!

:)

Be well…

That's a good way to look at it. I get frustrated that my weight loss is slower than my friend. Using your suggestion, I'm halfway to my goal!

      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! 😞
