9 weeks out and 45 down. I do still have blah days, but I can honestly say the good ones are quickly outnumbering the bad!!

How far out are you?

I definitely have days where I stall but that's all part of the process. There will be days you don't lose and then there will be days you find you've dropped 5 pounds out of the blue!

Don't stress out about the numbers on the scale, especially if you're straight a month or 2 out of surgery. It will fall off in due time, just keep on adding your Protein intake and exercising. Please don't stress out about the scale! In the early months of my surgery, I would worry about EVERY stall and think the surgery wasn't working. Now I'm a month away from being 1 year out and I still get stalls, but I'm so close to my weight goal.

Stalls are ok. As if feeling like you don't see any progress, that's ok. Other people will! There are days when I look in the mirror and still feel like I'm 288 pounds. I'm now 172 and there's a big difference. 30 pounds is A LOT! You will see differences, know that they are... Also look for how your clothes are fitting differently. Sometimes the mirror and scale make us crazy.

I feel the same way. My mom keeps telling me she sees a difference but I don't. I've lost 44 pounds, shouldn't that be noticeable? But what I think is happening is that is all fat that was all around my organs. So now my goal is to ramp up my walking and hopefully I'll see more changes. Good luck!

      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! 😞
