2.5 years (30 months) post surgery.....



Recommended Posts

I was at 275. I wanted to get down to 200. At 52, it was not easy. I got down to 185-190. I have maintained that loss. I am still hovering around 188.

I still take in a ton of Protein, a ton of Water and next to zero carbs.

And I walk 5 miles every day.

It CAN be done.......I am 54 and my medical lab work has me as healthy as I was at 30.

I feel amazing. More energy, more alive. I seemed, before, to always feel poorly...now I have not been "sick" in 2.5 years.

I am told I look 20 years younger

You're an inspiration, Steve! I'm 7 months out and 5 pounds from goal. Once I get there, I may ask you for maintenence advice. What about the skin? Did it redistribute by itself over the 2 years? Thanks and congratulations!!!

      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! 😞
