I started my prediet mid April and had my surgery on May 2nd. I am down close to 54 lbs and I am losing an average of over a lb a day. I'm 6'0" and was 312lbs at the start of this journey. My target is to lose a little over 100lbs. I have been exercising regularly and eating very clean following my program exactly as my doctor asked me to. I'm not complaining but it seems like it's coming off too fast at this point.. is this normal?

I've lost 27 lbs in 11 days. But hey, I'm not mad at it!

I lost 100lbs in 5 months and none of the doctors/surgeons were concerned. The only time you need to worry about it is if it's because you physically can't eat (vomiting, nausea, etc), are an alcoholic, drug addict or have an eating disorder. According to my surgeon, that is!

Well, I jinxed myself. I've been in a stall for 5 days. That's what I get for being too optimistic! :)

      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! 😞
