Sweetie, you are where you're supposed to be. You can't compare yourself to others otherwise it will make you feel like a failure. You have made remarkable progress and all I can say is keep up the good work.

Carmen I have hypothyroidism and I lost 90 lbs in a year. I am up to 100 lbs off right now and I had my surgery back in April 2013. I actually GAINED after my surgery when I went from liquids to solids. I cried and cried because I just had this surgery and everywhere I read people were losing all kinds of weight and I was gaining. I didn't really start losing until 4 months after my surgery when my fill was to where I needed it. It's all about your fill (for the most part, of course you have to help your band) or from what I've experienced. I have been losing anywhere between 1-2lbs per week. Sometimes it's .7 lbs but over time those little increments added up and I feel so much better now that I have felt since I was in high school. Don't give up keep trying until it works :)

      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! 😞
