@@1041mom I too have my struggles. Some days I don't drink enough Water which causes my kidneys to hurt. I don't always get enough Protein which causes me to get hungry sooner than I'd like. I struggle with cravings from time to time and I've gotten food stuck. On a place side, I'm losing weight,not as fast as I'd like, but still losing. To help with my chocolate cravings, I've found sugar free candy that helps. I only have one piece and I make it last. Hope you have more good days than bad. You've come to the right place.

@@kvoneye .. Thanks for the response, I've spent the last 3 hours going through different forums and have to say I feel a little less discouraged than I did before.

I was asking myself what's wrong with me and obviously I'm doing something wrong. I'm constantly hungry and the scale hasn't moved as much as others and it hasn't moved at all in four days. I get crazy pain and bloating anytime I eat although I still feel hungry. My cravings never missed a beat and i struggle to just keep eating what's on my approved list..

Reading through a lot of people have felt this way. I just need to remember this is a journey..

I can work on upping my Protein and Water and stop worrying so much about calories..

@@1041mom My scale hasn't moved in nearly two weeks! I'm never hungry or thirsty...ever...which is actually a bit of a problem. I've had to set alarms on my phone reminding me to eat and drink or I just forget. You'd think that'd be a nice problem to have, but it's so very easy for us to get dehydrated now.

I have to tell myself daily that weight loss is not a linear thing and that I can't compare myself to others, so believe me you're in good company! Try putting the scale away and only weigh yourself weekly. It's keeping me sane! Get the Water, Protein and exercise in and the goods will come in time.

@@OneLostJourney Hey good to hear from you!! You had your surgery the day after I did! It sounds like your weight loss is going really well! I won't know until this Thurs. what I lost, I have been staying away from the scale since my 2 week appt. when they said I had lost 5 lbs since surgery. I'm the same way with the water! Glad you brought that up because I was wondering if I'm taking too big of drinks. I'm back to normal, no sips. But it seems to be the only way I get my Water in & it doesn't bother me to do so! I too am thirsty!!!! I guess we are lucky but good Quest. for my Dr. appt.

Yes I was done in Mexico and had such a great experience. I hear men lose faster in beginning but you are doing great! I focus on getting my Protein and Water in. Hard some days but I get it done.

Hi everyone, I went back to work yesterday and I am exhausted by noon. I am at work at 6:30am. I retaining Water not sure what that's about. Tomorrow is my weekly weighin but I don't think I have lost anything. Between my bowels and water retention. Going back to work has been good for my eating schedule at least now I can eat Breakfast.< /p>

I have puked twice since surgery, my fault both times. It is a learning experience. I have a harder time eating with my family because we are talking and I lose focus and eat to fast. Much easier for me to eat alone, sad but true.

Went to my nutritionist today for 4 week check up. As most of you know, I have been in a stall for 3 weeks and we talked about that. She reminded me how much I weighed when I saw her for the first time in July and told me that I am doing fine. She said that some people take longer to heal on the inside and that things eventually catch up. Then she told me to up my Protein to 75-80 grams per day even if I have to eat 6 times a day - every 2 - 3 hours (I'm doing well to get in 4x right now). She told me that my body probably needs more than 600 calories a day to kick start it and told me to get it up to at least 800 calories per day now with a goal of 1000.

I don't do well on whey Protein Shakes but I need to supplement with a Protein Shake every day, so trying a plant based one. It doesn't taste all that great - mixed it with almond milk, nutmeg, cinnamon and vanilla extract. Thankfully is only 6 oz for 18 grams of protein so think I will survive.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
