After my weight loss stall that seemed like forever!!!, I was happy to see that the scale started moving again . That was more annoying than getting your shirt snagged on a drawer knob.

Well I finally hit the 30 pound loss mark. Whoot!!!

I personally think that's a decent amount of weight for the amount of time since I've gotten my roux en y surgery on January 9th 2017. I do want to actually lose weight at a normal pace. Not no landslide. All in all I feel great!!!!! The incision on my right side where the biggest instrument went in still bothers me. When I stand up it feel like my insides are going to drop out. There is a lot of straining and pulling. My doctor reassured me that it is completely normal and expected. They spent a good amount of time in that area, and they had kind of a rough time with moving my muscles in that area . With these small annoyances, I would still go through with this operation again, in a heartbeat.

Every now and then I get the annoying head hunger. Luckily it passes very quickly. With the small amount of food I'm actually able to eat, I feel soo much more healthy in that aspect. I currently am not craving ANY of the crap that I used to consume. I'm just soo happy with my decision to get this done. Save some room on that losers bench please

Congratulations on your weight loss thus far. Don't worry about the amount. Generally you drop the pounds so quickly at the beginning and then it begins to tapper off. So it is natural.

Thank you! I'm not really worrying about the loss at this point. If i stall, I stall. Just as long as it happens. Haha.

      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! 😞
