I had the switch performed on 21 June 2016 and I am now at 240 Lbs. Weighed 317 on the day of my surgery. So far the only problems I have had are drinking whole milk (2% is fine) and gas when I eat my veggies. Bean o is a definite before I eat my veggies. I have been pretty happy so far with it. Be careful when they tell you about dumping syndrome they are not kidding. If I drink whole milk or have something that is to rich (pecan rolls) I have definitely paid the price for about 4-6 hours after. But as long as I do not go to crazy I have been able to eat pretty much anything in moderation. I highly recommend a lot of walking after. It makes the difference for me between mild suffering from gas and no problems.

      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?

      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
