I'm not sure if this is the right section to post this in and I apologize if it is not. My name is Joshua; I am 23 and from California. I just found this site/app today googling some questions that I had about my gastric sleeve surgery. I am six weeks post on and have lost 49 pounds thus far. I just wanted to introduce myself on these forums and say thank you to everyone on here that provides useful information and/or support for other people on this site.

I am curious, how many grams of Protein are you consuming a day. I am having issues with that now

Thank you. I hope I can continue on like this. I know that the weight loss will eventually slow obviously but as long as it keeps going in the right direction I am happy.

That's a good attitude. I lost 99 pounds pre-op, and I have lost another 16 pounds in the 12 days since my surgery on September 28. That's a little over a pound a day. I know it won't continue at this rate forever, but I am going to enjoy it while it lasts! Eventually, it will probably settle back into the 3ish pounds a week that it was during my pre-op diet.

      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.

      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! 😞
