Hi -

I am new here and am happy to have found this site. I have been overweight my entire life and done it all! 95% of the diets failed and the 5% that didn't I struggled to keep the weight off. My BMI is 33 and have found a surgeon who performs at this BMI. I have my consult next Wed. and since I am paying cash understand that it can happen much sooner. I look forward to be active and learning all that I can!

I too have done all the diets (multiple times.) The band has been a wonderful tool for me. I was banded 5/21/08 and have lost 41 lbs so far with no weighing/measuring/counting of foods, other when I was first on liquids/mushies. I eat more like a normal person now!

It has not been an effortless journey by any means. The biggest challenge for me is recognizing "head hunger" versus real hunger. Also remembering to make good food choices.

Best wishes to you! This website is a great resource.

      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! 😞
