Hello everyone! I had the DS surgery on May 5th and I've lost 32 lbs. I feel like that isn't a lot so I think it's time for me to start reaching out to others. I'm only 5 feet tall and I weighed 249 when I started my journey. I weighed 233 going into surgery. I have had it pretty easy, easier then I thought it would be, I have never thrown up or had dumping, so I feel like I'm following the rules. I would just like to hear other people's stories, especially ones who've had the DS, because I can't find a lot of talk from people who've had it. And I'm posting a pic so I can start this off being brave!20170621_123002.jpg

I havent had the DS, but I just wanted to say welcome.

I think you are doing a great job. We all lose at our own pace and experience many stalls along the way so keep following your plan and I am sure you are going to do awesome. You are beautiful!

      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! 😞
