Thanks Girl

Others are losing more. But as Creek said, how much of that is pre surgery diet or whatever..

Hi, can I just tell you? You're profile picture is gorgeous? That color looks great on you, too..

:)

Thanks so much sweetie! Your kind words made my day :) xx

I feel the same way as you do. My surgery was 12/28. I've lost 19 lbs. since surgery and I've followed all dietary protocol. I do walk around my block each week - some weeks more than others because of fibromyalgia and arthritis pain. I spoke to my doctor about this and she was understanding, encouraged me to rest in the worse days and do more in the better days. She also thought my weight loss was good. I had lost 18 lbs. during the first 4 weeks and lost 1 lb. in the last week. Like you, I have wondered why more hasn't come off because I'm not eating much and I see other people losing more weight. Since my consultation, I've lost 41 pounds. The dietician, therapist, and surgeon are pleased. I'm just hoping things don't keep going this slowly. While I feel this way, all of the posts make perfect sense and are very logical. And, I actually think your weight loss is very good. You're really doing great and need to keep doing what you're doing.

      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! 😞
