WOW! Thats so cool, I did not notice that. I am feeling good. My port site is still really sore. I started back to work yesterday and that totally wore me out. Sitting in a chair with my port hurting is not the best thing in the world. How are you feeling? Do you feel like you have any restriction? My doctor said since my stomach would be swollen, I would feel like I was restricted, and that should go away in a week or two, and so far it has not. I am never hungry, and I am having a hard time getting in my protien and Water. I think the most water I have drank in a day is 30 ounces. When I drink my protien shake, it takes me forever to drink it and when I finish it has filled me up for almost the entire day. My liquid diet consisted of protien drinks and water. But hey I am not complaining or nothing, I lost 14 lbs on the 1 week preop diet and have lost 4 in the week since surgery.

Well I believe I'm the first one from Oregon! I live in Maupin, Oregon, Population 500! I was banded in Tijuana, Mexico by Dr. Pedro Kuri on June 17, 2008. To this date it has been 1 week and I have lost 11 lbs, but I did not have to do a pre-op diet. Good Luck to all! Kerry

JBFlorida- How are you doing so far? Have you had your first adjustment yet? who was your Doctor? Mine was Dr. Grossbard and Dr. DiCicco through JourneyLite.

      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! 😞
