So how is everyone's weight loss going now that you're on regular foods? I gained last week, but I think I'm going to be down those pounds at tomorrow's weigh in. I'm not asking this in a competion way, trust me I'm not that kinda girl.

Thanks everyone for the Bday wishes. I don't think I'll be down this week I've been feeling big so that kept me off the scale. I did step on it last night and had not lost since Friday ut I didn't gain either. People are telling me they can see the difference. Yeserday I ran into a fellow bandster at work that hadn't seen me since before my surgery later in the morning she brought another bandster to meet me and it was someone I don't know but chat wiht when we pass they both said they can see the difference. Guess that's what matters.

I agree JT, take whatever positive responses you get as proof. Sometime the scale doesn't reflect all the changes. Feel free to remind me of that next time I'm whining about the scale :)

Congrats on the baggy jeans, Heather!! It doesn't matter what size they are...all that matters is that they are baggy on you now!

Food for me is definitely different than it was before. I can eat tuna sometimes, but not always. I cannot eat any type of cracker other than wheat thins...everything other than wheat thins seem to "expand" and feel terrible. I can eat a chicken nugget...but not regular chicken that I have barbequed. It is just so funny adjusting to this.

The scale is stuck and has not moved...I am hoping that will change soon...I mean, how can I not be losing weight when I am not eating nearly as much or as high calorie foods as before this was done??

Anyway, good for you on your nsv...it really does make a difference to notice changes in how clothing fits. At least I can say that I notice clothes fitting better...that is something...

Going to be a crazy couple of days here at work. I go to see my Doc tomorrow. Not sure if I'll be given a fill or not. I will update Wednesday. I hope to be able to come at least read all the posts in between working crappy jobs.

No fill for me. Have to go back to the Doc on the 2nd. He told me to eat 4 oz of Protein (chicken, turkey, fish- no red meat) then evaluate if I'm truly hungry after that. He also said no bread, potatoes, rice or Pasta. Having a food scale is law, according to him.

There was something else he said that I wanted to share, but I'm completely blanking on it. If I remember I'll come back and share.

So what things have you been told?

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        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... :(
