It is a great journey! I am 6 months post op and lost 80 pounds so far. I have more energy than before. Make sure you walk as much as possible after surgery to help with the gas pains. Warm liquids helps it to pass too. You will feel hungry post but make sure you have some broth it will help curb that hunger. If Protein shakes make you ill you might be lactose intolerant, it happens post surgery. Stick to your meal plans and follow with the NUT regularly. Chew slow and carefully because it will hurt if it gets stuck. Do not drink while eating it will re-expand your stomach and that will hurt. Good luck and feel good soon

I can understand. Winter will be brutal for me too trying to figure it all out. One last thing do not be surprised if your tastes change. Mine did. Things i liked before not so much now. After 44 years i now prefer the taste of coffee and i never liked coffee before. I liked ham and cheese nope cannot stand it. So do not be surprised.

I've heard that a lot as long as it don't change with my veggies I love Brussels sprouts I sometimes just eat them as a meal they r my absolute favorite lol but I can handle not liking things it might make things easier I'm sure. I am not alllowed to have caffeinated coffee after surgery but never been a coffee drinker can't have alcohol but not a drinker either can't smoke but not a smoker anymore had to quit to be considered for the surgery so I quit 7 months ago when I started my classes ect. I have lost 26 lbs so far just following advise of the nutritionist. Hoping time flies. I'm ready lol

sugar free popcicles were and still are a way to curb thirst and stay cool and stay within guidelines. Also about all you can eat at a time most of the time. 6 months out and I have lost 53 pounds just 20 pounds short of the "healthy weight" goal. I was 35 Bmi when I started. Off my Pre diabetes meds, blood pressure meds and allergy meds. I'm now 26 bmi .

      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... :(
