I am 1 year 3 months out, it will stop hurting soon enough the foods that are harder to digest hurt...like salad and meats...but its worth it....I started liquids today to remove sugar cravings...I had a bad weekend of lots of junk food and basically cleansed my body out started fresh. I still continue to get full quick and eat small meals but of course parties and family events you eat more carbs and sweets than usual..Its all about maintenance now, but its a lifelong struggle we all have to deal with...I feel and look great and I am happy I work out and love my new body! You will too! Carry on strong!
I ate only a tablespoon of Beans and guacamole and a bite of melon, waiting between bites, no liquid every bite. ALL but the last bite was fine... then ouch hits so fast, burps, and um the food is barely staying put. This is my first day with this feeling since the first few days of surgery. This is a teacup plate.

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!!
That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
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! 😞
I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.
Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision...
