You guys have no idea. Lately I have had absolutely no restriction. Especially late in the day and at night. Mornings are fine. The other day I ordered an omellete and had about a quarter of it and I was fine. But now yesterday at night, I had a whole plate of food, and probably could've kept going had there been more. ARGHHH, it pisses me off, I am down now 20 lbs since 8-20 and I feel like I am gaining again. Everything otherwise feels great. No more port pain, nothing. Even my scars are practically disapearing by the day.

hey J.C.!!!

You guys have no idea. Lately I have had absolutely no restriction.

i feel ya! i was banded 8-18 and was eating about 2 cups of food and not getting the full feeling just having to stop. i got my first fill and still not that restricted. i eat about 1 1/2 cups now. i am going for 2nd fill 10-2.

i have been dealing with it by telling myself:

i am healing. take any weight loss as a bonus till i get filled!

your body just went through surgery and you need to heal! when will you be able to schedule your first fill?

JC, your weight loss is stellar and you just need a fill.

You may stall or actually (gasp) gain a couple of pounds before it happens. But please don't fret. The body actually likes thinking it's getting a bunch of calories again...sets you up for another nice drop after your fill.

Relax--you're normal and your tummy is almost completely healed now. I could eat pretty much preop about 2 weeks after my surgery and it stressed me out. I wished someone would have told me back then that I was NORMAL!

Shelly - thanks, I am trying not to though. chicken wings are still good though. You are going down, wait and see.

Coffeewench - thanks, feels good to get advice from you. I am starving though. I am just gonna live with it until I get the proper restriction.

      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! 😞
