It's great to see at least some people have nuts and surgeons that don't believe in starving their patients after surgery!

Kindle, I agree! And it seems to be working pretty well. Just over 4 months and I've lost 83 pounds and my husband has lost 80.

I am 38 weeks post surgery. I think that I eat more calories and carbs than most posting here. I track everything on MFP and track an average of 1000-1100 calories a day, 100 to 120 gms of carb & same amount of Protein. I also do intense strength training and cardio 5 times a week with 350 to 600 calories burnt according to my Polar watch. Can't be too much wrong with that since I have lost a 100 lbs so far! Just not as quickly. I have lost about 10 lbs per month and for the last 3-4 months, it's been 5-7 lbs per month. I am happy though! One thing I notice: When I was working out a lot and not eating enough calories and carbs, I stalled and felt bad overall. Now, I feel great and full of energy. On the flip side, I also know that if I am to stop exercising like I do, I will have to reduce my calorie and carb intake. For now, I think I have got how this works for me!

      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! 😞
