I lost 12 lbs in my first 12 days after surgery ... soon as I got to "soft foods" it has been a struggle, a fight to lose more. I too don't feel that I am over-eating, I am drinking the required amount of Water and walking each evening as well. ANXIOUSLY awaiting my first fill

food sucks up Water, Water weighs 8.33 pounds per gallon.

When you were on liquids, you had no food in your digestive tract to hold on to water.

Now you do.

I think most of us slowed down once we went back to regular foods but it's a temporary issue. Hard as it is...try not to worry about it as it's totally normal. Once your body acclimates back to a normal diet it will settle down and you'll see progress again. Your body has been through a lot and just needs some time!

      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! 😞
