Hello dear! I had my surgery on the 3rd and today I am 12 pounds down. I'm a slow loser and couldn't really believe it. So u will be fine! All will go well and u will notice inches melting away. This surgery was well worth it! :-) Good luck on ur new journey

If u fail to plan, u plan to fail.

That's great! I also had surgery on the 3rd but am down about 6 lbs (but am on TOM so that might be causing Water retention). Glad you came out the other side ok!

@@TamaraRae - it varies so DON'T compare and get frustrated. I lost 21lbs about a month out. Measure yourself NOW @1cutiejulie mentioned inches will not necessarily show up on the scale. Those are NSVs!

@@TamaraRae @@jane13 is right. You shouldn't compare to others. But feel free to compare to me.....at that 6 week mark I was down 17 pounds. Next time I weighed at 10 weeks I was still down the same 17 pounds. Now check out my ticker....over 100% excess weight loss and holding strong for over a year and a half. That's why I say your rate of loss has nothing to do with long term success. The NSVs are way more fun to log than numbers anyways!

I had my 9 day post-op visit and found I had lost 13lbs. Shocked me, but I was thrilled.

I lost almost 40 in the first month and another 10 the second. I'm 4 lbs away from 50lbs post op... But I'm also 70lbs down from my highest point. I keep hitting plateaus but then slowly break through them. I'm okay with that and still hope to lose another 60 over the next few months.

Warmer weather means more walking and a steady schedule allows me gym time now.

8 weeks post op, and I lost 28.6 Ibs (13 kgs)

Had a stall in week 3-4, then started losing again.

My few NSVs: I can cross my legs again, I fit into my few tops, my skirts are loser, and I can wear my favourite watch again.

People started complimenting me :)

I am starting to feel much, much better.

Good luck with your surgery @@TamaraRae

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
