I know where you're coming from. I too had thoughts of, "what if I'm the one person this doesn't work for?" Trust me, this is completely different from any diet you've ever tried. Now you have a tool that will force you cut back on the calories, and if you stay with the planned food stages, your taste buds and carb craving will be reset.

This is your chance for a do-over. You can do it. We were all right where you are, right before and right after surgery. In a month, you won't believe how you life will begin to change for the better.

VGB... don't worry. You will lose, as everyone does. Your stomach is smaller (or will be if you haven't had surgery yet). You will eat so much less that you can't help but lose weight. Just remember.... exercise is an important part of the equation and if you want to lose the most you can you have to get your rear in gear and work if off. Good luck and enjoy the process.

I thought the exact same thing. Especially because in the first week or two I was on liquids and couldn't feel the restriction yet.

Honestly, I still think it from time to time but it keeps me motivated to keep working.

I feel the same way. Had my surgery on the 9th and i feel like if I start adding more liquid etc to my diet I'm gonna gain and it freaks me out. I am losing though so it's all good

      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! 😞
