Lorri716 you are doing awesome!! Did you had any complications? I was one of the very lucky ones!! Only normal gas pain at the beginning, no nauseas, I could eat all lean meats with no complications.

I been YoYo dieting for so many years. Back in 2009 I was 270lbs. Our company have a family party every year in October. I remember taking that picture and hiding it cause I felt so ashamed at how big I was. I remember I signed up at the gym ymca and went straight for one year. I lost 80 lbs and unfortunately letting my self get back to 253 lbs.

This year when we went to the party another picture was taken and I got my old picture out. I now have it here at my desk at work to remind myself I don't EVER want to be at that weight again. This time I don't see this journey as a diet is all about changing my eating habits and remind myself everyday to see food as fuel. post-260556-14479469789959_thumb.jpg

My Hair loss has been very bad starting at my 3 months post-op, I was hoping for minimum hair loss since I been eating 90 to 100 grams of Protein daily, taking all my Vitamins and Biotin. Although, I saw some other comments that biotin doesn't help for hair loss it will be more for re-growth. Well I guess is part of the process????

Hi there. So far I've only noticed a strand or two here or there. Nothing real noticeable. I do however have my hair cut short right now, so maybe that's why I'm not noticing it. My day was good, happy to say that my 1 week stall is over and the scale is moving again. I weighed in at 212 this morning. Quite happy about that. Hoping to hit onederland before the end of Dec.

I love Saturdays, my husband and I usually go grocery shopping early in the morning on Saturdays and it has become a habit to buy a rotisserie chicken to eat it when we're back from the store. Well let me tell you it was delicious, I make a guacamole salsa and get 3 oz of the chicken breast and eat it with the salsa.

The leftovers are my lunch during the week. ???????? I'm now here drinking a Protein shake for dinner and if I get hungry later on I will have some cucumbers and jicama with lime.

      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! 😞
