I'm sorry you experienced this terrible treatment. Im not sure I would be going back to him if it were me. I probably would have waited for him to finish & then told him to kiss my a$$ & left.

if I could redo yesterday, I surely would of lol, I'm definitely not going back, thank you

@@byebyefat You can send me a friends request on myfitnesspal and we can share journals. That has helped me a great deal. I agree with everyone else, your surgeon is a jerk. You need to focus on you andnot worry about your surgeon and what he said. Good Luck!

is it the same as your name on here

@@byebyefat I buy my D3 Gelatin pills at costco. They are the Kirkland brand 2000 IU... $11.00 for 600 pills. These pills are very small so no problem swallowing them. I'll also pass on a fact that my Chiro/NUT told me: if I start to feel sick, take 50,000 IU's ( that's 25 of these gelatin pills) once a day for 3 days and it will usually kick whatever bug is trying to invade my system. This has worked most everytime I've done it.

awesome, thank you very much

Timewise you're actually doing good. My surgery was 9/4/15. I was 301 pre-op and I'm now 251. Sounds like you and I both just need to exercise more, and we will see more results.

thank you, but I only lost 20 pounds, my surgeon said it should be more, but congratulations on all of your progress and none the less I'm not giving up, thank you so much for your kind words

Have you met with your NUT to go through your food logs to see if he/she has any suggestions or strategies?

the last time I met with my Nut was the beginning of December, at the time my stall was only at a week and a half and she told me it was a normal process and usually means, I'm going to have a upcoming great lost after my stall, told me to eat more Fiber and my food journal was great and to keep up the good work, I see her again next Friday, January 22nd

Your surgeon sounds like he is lacking in the bedside manner department. I don't think you are a failure but there is something wrong here. What is your daily calorie intake? You should still be below 1,000 a day and exercising a minimum of 20- 30 minutes day. Where are you getting your Protein? I was 220 when I had my surgery in 2010 and I averaged around 10lbs a month for the first six months.

What a JERK!! Sorry you were treated that way. It is disgusting.

Regarding stall with Constipation my nutritionist said to take Vitamin they want me to take (Opurity) one day and next day a Multivitamin with low to no Iron. Keep doing this and it worked. No more constipation. We figured it was the Iron and once constipation ended the weight stall ended. Another thing that helped constipation is lying in bed, rub your hands together to warm them up and then rub your stomach in circles, starting around belly button and then get bigger around whole stomach. Do 50 circles total. Be firm but not too hard and this helped me as well. Sounds silly but it works.

I hope things get better for you but DO NOT let the Dr discourage you and keep up the good work!

thank you, my calories have never been above 1, 000 but twice in the last 4 months and I meet all my protein and Water goals and exercise , I truly don't understand what's wrong with me that I'm not losing weight

      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... :(
