My surgery is oct 26 and i LOVE hearing people's journeys, especially long termers! I can't really stand more than about a half hour or my feet hurt like crazy. I know this will get better as the weight comes off but getting an hour of walking in will be a challenge!

@@itstimealready, on this site we call it a ticker. It basically "tracks" your progress & you can personalize it, hence the word tracker. Hope that helps.

I'm using this site on the iphone app so some of these things might not be functional. I don't see any kind of a tracker but that would be pretty cool.

I am at a stall. Should I just do Protein Shakes for 3 days to jump start? I drink the Premier Protein shakes that are 30 grams of Protein and 180 calories? When I met with nurse last she said I wasn't getting enough calories or protein in but I try to snack a lot. Please help!!! I have lost 33 lbs in 4 months (in a stall the last month). I am very active too - work out at least 3-4 X week. Travel a lot for work too. TIA! Started at 222 - currently 188.

Stalls are a normal, natural, and necessary part of the process.

Calling your NUT when it concerns you is a good idea. She gave you some great advice. I would do what she suggests: increase your calories a bit.

Embrace the Stall!

      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! 😞
