What's up you guys I will be 2 years post op in February and being sleeved is great. My sleeve has never given me any problems. Though I can eat more now than I could 6 months after surgery (which is normal) I still can't eat a full or regular size plate of anything. Everything is holding up. My confidence has been at an all time high. One thing they really don't prepare you for is during your pre op testing and therapy is how to deal with all the new attention you get. Whether good or bad depending on how you handle this it can and will be sometimes overwhelming. That may be the only not so good thing though. Other than that the skinny life is great. One more thing? When weighing yourself after surgery should we minus about 7 to 5 pounds for loose skin? Sounds silly I know but what do you guys think?

307 1st weigh in

287 day of surgery

177 last year

181 now.

I can just say I hope to have your attentions problems soon. How long did it take to put on the muscle? Did you increase Protein to get there?

The minus 5-7 lbs is just so you know it is not fat you still need to lose, muscle weighs more too.

it didn't take long to tack on the muscle I feel like it was underneath the fat all along. But I'm as big as I want to get just working out to maintain that's all. Thanks everyone for the love and good luck on you weight loss journey. Can't wait to see your pictures. Let's motivate each other.

      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! 😞
