I suggest you work to retrain yourself to eat three meals and two Snacks a day. It will take work, but weigh and measure your food. Make sure you get your Water in and eat Protein first. Your mind and stomach will adjust if you work at it. Do you have a book from the surgeon's office with instructions?

I don't understand why you would be eating only 2 meals. I am 11 weeks post op & I always eat 5 to 6 times a day. I eat every 2 &1/2 to 3 hours apart. I also measure my food. There was a class plus a book on how to eat. We are also to log our food/protein

& Water. This is a lifestyle change. This is the way we should eat for the rest of our lives.

      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! 😞
