I lost way less that by that point, and I've lost 234 lbs altogether.

people lose at all different rates due to all different factors, so it's really pointless to compare yourself to others.

your level of commitment to your program will have a MUCH greater impact on your ultimate success than your rate of weight loss. Just put blinders on so you can't see how fast or slow other people are losing, and go full-steam ahead!

Catwoman7 is exactly right. You kind of spin your wheels comparing yourself to others. While reading all the posts on here I've noticed that some have lost twice as much as I have by this point after surgery, while others have lost less. I believe that our body goes into survival mode and it will let go when it's confident that doing so won't hurt us. Let your body do the talking!!! don't let your mind get hung up on other peoples loss or gains.

      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?

      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! 😞
