I am 3 1/2 months out from surgery and have lost 37 pounds including pre-op diet. I am definately a slow loser but my hair is great and even at 62 years, my skin is keeping up...sort of. I feel great and at 168, my clothing size is just about changing every 2 weeks. I have relaxed into the journey and no longer have that sense of impatience. I realized that unlike any other "diet" I have ever been on, this is a lifestyle change and I will never be able toeat the way I once did. Might as well sit back and enjoy the ride!

Thank God I'm not alone! I lost 25 pre-surgery (over 4 months of diet changes) & 25 since. . .stalled for almost 2 weeks. I was sleeved 8/12 and starting to wonder why. Will this end?? :(

Well I officially handed over the batteries to my scales to my husband this morning I can't take it any more! I have been meaning to do that for a week, but i kept postponing it, but after gaining a lb over night after weeks of barely loosing anything I've had enough!

I will buy myself a wrist pedometer on my way home from work and concentrating on upping my steps daily as goals instead and see if i can switch my concentration to that and see how long i can go without cracking my resolve to weigh in!

I am a revision from Lapband and I am a slow loser too. I have averaged 1.5 lbs a week, but it has stayed pretty consistent. I am not disappointed at all! I feel great, and since it has been slow but STEADY I know the weight will continue to come off. I think of it like the Turtle and the Hare.... I might not get to goal as fast as some, but I will still get there.

      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! 😞
