Thanks, I feel great. I didn't have a ton of issues before surgery but I do have a ton more energy and my knees and joints are all much happier these days!

You are kicking it !!!!

You were wise to take action to get ahead of the issues before they started showing up. Very well done !!!

Thanks Dub!

I have had too many family members die way too young from weight related health issues that could have been prevented so I knew it was time to get this under control.

Aww, thank you. I have gone the low carb route. I only drink Water or the Vitamin Water zero (I have done the water for a long time before surgery as well). I stick the the basic rules of eat Protein first then veggie then if any room carbs. Most days I end up at about 70 grams Protein, 40 or less carbs, and about 800 calories. I do eat a bit of things I like here and there but I always count it in my numbers for the day and it's always just a bite.

Congratulations on starting your journey with this. Your off to a great start!

      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!!

      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?

      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... :(
