I can tell you this, it's gotta be a collective effort between you and the team you are working with.. Its a hard struggle!!!! Yes it is!!! But you have to want and need this for you. I struggled hard within MYSELF not with the decision of having my surgery. food was my friend whether I was feeling happy or sad. It didn't give me negative talk or tell me what I was doing or not doing wrong or right. Food was my go to. And I had to realize and still have to realize that I can't let it control me!!! I've developed reading and journaling as a go to when I want food. It helps or try a game on your phone. I push myself daily to think positive!!! It gets BETTER I SWEAR IT DOES!!!!

You have to have control over it!!! I've also been taking 5-htp to help with my emotions and feelings. Ask your doctor about it

So glad to hear this.

Would you be willing to share any of the tips or insights you received from your surgeon or NUT? You obviously don't have to if its too private, but if you are open to the idea, it might help someone else who is struggling.

      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!!

      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... :(
