HI! I am an ARMY wife too! Even almost the same handle too! lol I am in the middle of going from a bad band experience to Bypass in about a week. I'm nervous because I lost about 80lbs on the band but, it was SO hard and I gained it all back. Do you ever regret doing the bypass? I'm In FL but would def keep in touch and help prop you up when you are in a slump! God knows I need that too, I know quite a bit about some meds that could help you. they helped me after I went into a tailspin with my band and saw a psychiatrist who is a specialist in addiction, compulsion, and eating disorders. It gave me the first bit of actual control over eating ever in my life. It might help you too (and counseling as well). The drug helped me at least only put back my pre band weight and not an additional 100lbs! Look forward to chatting with you!

      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! 😞
