Let me tell ya in 10 yrs of being morbidly obese I lost a total of 20 pounds i think. NOTHING worked for me. I also have PCOS . My OB told me " Mindy you WONT lose weight on your own it just wont come off" I had the surgery and expected to lose and that was it ! NO ON In the WORLD was more shocked than ME ( Ok maybe my OB ) that I lost 105 pounds in 10 months ! I am the MOST negative person .

The BEST advice i can give you is this . expect NOTHING but to LOSE . AND follow the doctors orders to a T ! If you do those 2 things you WILL do this ! If i can do this band thing anyone can LOL

      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! 😞
