So sorry - haven't been on here much. I feel GREAT! Not fighting my head hunger daily, although it does hit at times when we are out. 20.4 lbs down since surgery and another 10 before.

I had my surgery April 6th at Princeton/Plainsboro hospital. My head hungers are driving me crazy.

I have only lost 7lbs and am frustrated because I thought I would drop weight quickly.

I had my surgery on April 5 and at my last apt I was minus 16 lbs which I am happy with. The only issues I have are fatigue and a pain/soreness in my chest. Has anyone else had this? Is it normal? Of course my mind goes to the all the worst places and I make myself nervous.

HI Jill,

Congratulations. Did You go in Surgery at around 10. I was there the same day and Dr. Ewing came to see me and my hubby and after signing papers and talking for a bit he said i had someone before me. I went in at around 12 and unfortunately i couldnt get the sleeve done because my band had slipped. So i go on May 24th. I'm doing fine It sounds like you are on track. All what you are feeling are normal it will get better WOW 16 lbs great job..

Ha! What a small world we live in!! Yes I did go in around 10 and have zero memory of anything except waking up in recovery. I'm sorry to hear you couldn't get your procedure done. I just wanted to make sure what I am feeling is normal and will go away in a couple weeks. I am glad I found this site.

Is this your first WLS or did you revise and if so to what? This site is great i have been on here since my lapband in 2006 and 10 years later im on again. Dr. Ewing is great Same Doctor since 2006.

This was the first surgery I ever had in my life which is probably why I am so unsure about everything I am feeling.

      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... :(
