I went to 2 support groups this week. Both were good but the 1 that was better is not at the hospital I'm having my surgery at. I'm having my surgery at the other but I think I'm switching support groups... is that unfair to me? others?

I enjoy this support group and the one on FB.

@@Sugary Sweetheart What made one better than the other? I actually belong to a few different Facebook support groups and I have noticed that some are more informative and supportive than the other, which can have a very negative feel at times.

How do you plan on explaining your weight loss after the surgery? Are you planning on telling people you had the surgery or another reason? I am on the fence on how I will explain it, especially since there are so many that criticize the surgery.

I have a surgery date of 7/11 and the pre op diet is a low carb, high Protein diet. I'm on the second week and am losing well. I've been fairly open about having surgery so if anyone asks I'll be honest. If they give me any flack I'll tell them what they can do with it.

I've been very open about my surgery. I don't feel it's right to tell people I lost weight with diet and exercise like a friend of my does. My surgery is not something I'm ashamed of and there are people who try to talk me out of it by saying they know so and so who gained it all back or died I just listen and go about my business

I'll tell the truth, I've been eating more healthily and eating less.

      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! 😞
