Weight loss is definitely slowing down from the first 2 months (I'm a little over 3 months post-op), but I'll take it. Down exactly 75lbs as of this morning. I'm only weighing myself once a week because I don't like seeing the scale fluctuate (well, going up) throughout the week when I weighed in every day. Come Monday mornings, I'm super anxious to get on the scale at 6:00AM, but am always happy to see it trending down.

I've also noticed I seem to be able to eat much more, but I've been told since I'm much more active now (strength training + cardio nearly 5+/week) that it's okay to eat a little bit more to keep my energy up.

Decided to treat myself with the Whispbar rails and a Yakima roof rack for my bike since I'm riding it again. Can't wait for it to arrive so I can install it and try it out.

The Protein requirement is the sum of the Protein you get from meals combined with the protein from supplements. As my meal volume increased, I was able to derive more protein from my meals and as a result reduce my protein supplements (Protein shakes, protein bars). The supplements have calories. In my case dropping some of my supplements (while still meeting the protein requirements) meant less calories and the weight loss picked up again.

      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! 😞
