Holy cow jenlyn you have lost almost 30 pounds in a about a week?!? I didn't think that was even possible! Wow I'm def a slow loser then, I'm down 8 as of today from surgery weight. Jenlyn I'll add you to the group. Your surgery was the same day as mine. 27lbs already!!? Man I wish NSV - Slipped a shirt on I wouldn't wear a few weeks ago because it was tight. Fits lovely now :) :)

Have to correct my weight.. My hubby informed me that you can't weigh on carpet LOL. Totally off!!! I'm down to 253 from 262 day of surgery.

NSV - wearing my husbands T-shirts and there baggy :-)

Thanks for the add lylabelle

According to my diet, tomorrow im supposed to move on to pureed and mashed food, I Tbsp per meal at first so I'll mostly stay on Protein Shakes and try a little yogurt and mashed food here and there. I feel like I need a transition from shakes to food. Surgery was week ago today and down 9 pounds in a week so no complaints. I keep thinking tuna seems harsh to send down early on but maybe some thin sliced ham and a little mashed banana.< /p>

Has anyone tried any of these? I has one today and it wasn't too bad, I recommend ice! But 40g of Protein in 20oz!! zero carb! A little pricey but worth it occasionally!

Try not to be jealous we all have the tool to lose most of our excess weight and look amazing in time. We will all get there in our time. This is the last place numbers should matter.

Thanks for all the info, I'm falling short on fluids and know the importance will help me make them important.

Anyone else having back pain when they sleep?

So over Jello and broth too.

Count me in if we make a Facebook page- it might be easier to follow. And keep track of posts...

Post op appointment in the am. What a week!

Have a good night everyone.

Anyone using an app to track their intake? Suggestions?

Sandunehill - best app I use is my fitness pal. You log your Water in take. Best thing is you can scan the bar code on items and it automatically loads the nutrition information in and you can adjust serving sizes. Let me know if you have any questions!!

I use MyFitnessPal to keep track of intake. Can keep track of food, Water, exercise as well as set goals for yourself.

If everyone is up for a Facebook page we can make it private and secret so no one will even know it exists. I don't mind either way. But I know some don't have Facebook

I have three different flavors in my fridge. Tried one. They have a terrible texture or taste or something. I guess if I couldn't do anything else but at this point, no way.

Count me in for a Facebook page. Love that idea. Fitness Pal is my favorite. Another one my friends trainer told her to use was Lose It. He said it was better than fitness pal for some reason but can't remember. I also just added my weight into the app WeightDrop. I like seeing the totals and graphs.

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
