i am two months out from RNY.

i started my two week diet september 8th at 247

i went into surgery at 240

today i weigh 210

i'm so scared i'm going to not loose any more weight (as clearly i can eat more now)

i'm also scared of stretching my stomach, how easy is it? could it be stretched already?(i'm guessing it's just not as swollen so i can eat more)

these are just some fears i've had for a couple of days

Hi there!

If you stick to your plan, you have nothing to worry about. 30 lbs over 8 weeks is good progress. Look at it this way: If you lose weight at a slower pace, you'll have less loose skin.

Don't compare yourself to others. Everyone's different. I've been dropping quickly, but I've always been able to lose the weight. I did the surgery to help me keep it from charging back.

Hi Breuxo

You are doing awesome. Trust your program. You will do fine. From what I have heard it is very hard to stretch out your pouch. Follow your Dr.'s guidelines and KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE PRIZE!! Again you are Rockin your journey!!

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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

      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... :(
