Thank you so much for that information, doctors always have different information than other doctors. I know my surgery is still new (13 mths) but I thought you could stretch your pouch after a year per on of the doc's at the group I go to. I do however need to slow down my in chewing time lol, I'm still not good at that. When I got my surgery my husband said that I should have a goal weight, but I didn't set one because I just wanted to get below 200 lbs. I know goals are important but I never wanted one, maybe because I didn't want the pressure or to fail. But now that my weigh is stable, I want to lose 15 more lbs. I'm 5'6 and 153 lbs and I'd like to be maybe 135-140. My friends already think I'm skinny and I don't see it the way they see me. Maybe I should just focus on staying healthy yes?

      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! 😞
