Does anyone ever go back and do the pre surgical diet , just to jump start things ? I have been playing with the same 5 pounds for about 6 months now . I’m 16 months out and have lost 90 pounds . I have about another 15-20 pounds that I would like to lose.

Yeah ... at least three times in the ELEVEN WEEKS since surgery, I have had a day or two where I just went back to pre-op basics and lived on a couple of Protein Shakes and minimal other food for a bit.

I have a couple of boxes of Optifast shakes left here in the pantry. I might as well use them up, I think.

I had my sleeve July 2016 and have been thinking about getting my notebook out and starting on the pre op diet again. I am up 4 pounds and can't shake it since Thanksgiving. I lost 56 pounds and that was it but I was able to get off my insulin and all my diabetic meds.

I lost 0.4kg (14 ounces) at my weekly Monday noon weigh-in on Xmas Day (18th-25th Dec)

My big surprise was that by swimming 2 to 3 hours per day on 1000-1400 calories from 26th Dec to 1st Jan, I weighed in 1.7kg (3 pounds 12 ounces) less on New Years Day.

I am already down a further 2kg today Saturday. (about 4 pounds 6 ounces)

This is my best concentration in years and follows a birthday dinner for my brother-in-law last night.

Has serious success for most people.

      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! 😞
