1+ year since then and still not back on track. :( Weighing 155 lbs now. But trying to be better again.

It has been 5 months since the surgery.. Can confirm, it does not affect your ability to lose weight at all..don't know where all these rumors came form.. I do not have any digestive problems either.

I have PCOS but I have no issues with weight if I eat the right amount of calories.. But I've heard that people recommend low carb diets and no refined carbs.Also,do you have insulin resistance? I have it and I feel hungry all the time because of it..You could get a prescription for managing your insulin levels,it could…

Well I do agree that it's a pain in the *kitten* to log EVERYTHING you eat.And to think there are people who accurately MEASURE everything they put into their mouth..It might seem easy to some but I find that difficult as hell. I prefer just guesstimating in my head tbh,and it works for me :# And I think most people would…

Tbh this is what my question was lol..Will I be labelled 'skinny fat' now? Because I hate that term too.. :s not that I care so much but jw

Lmao!

i can't start lifting (or anything else) rn,far too occupied withstudies and stuff till may. should i lose like 5-10 pounds more till then or should i maintain?

Well guys! I think atleast a major part of it is loose skin because my legs and thighs have especially become small but I don't feel firm when I touch them either..I'm speaking relatively, as in,in comparison to what my skin used to feel like when I was fatter.It was much thicker at that time.It's not terrible though and…

Totally.Lost over 40 lbs without exercise.I think exercise is overrated from the weight loss point of view tbh.Someone my size would burn like 300 calories running 30 minutes.And if I do it,my hunger levels elevate and I end up wanting to eat a lot more, so 'exercise so that you get to eat more' is not true in my case. But…

Usually,one to two times a day.But sometimes it can go upto 5-6 times a day because I have severe obsessive compulsive tendencies :s

Is this colon cancer thing true? Increased risk due to bile? :s I don't eat meat anyway,I'm vegetarian

I really don't have any digestion issues yet :) But its been more than a week and my doc still has me on antibiotics :\ Though he changed it to a different one and reduced the dosage..this one doesn't seem to be causing fluid retention though :)

5'6.5" 130 lbs and I'm 26 at the narrowest part(or atleast was before surgery,I'm bloated right now ) I'd like to be under 25 :)

Walking for 30 minutes...Coming home and eating a whole packet of oreo,a bowl of chinese noodles and chocolate shake.Hey,I walked! So I can eat whatever I want you know. :# Also,eating a hamburger with large fries and coke and then walking to my residence and thinking I've evened it out. I had absolutely no idea about…

Thanks for help! :)

[/quote] Fluid retention is nothing. And if your TOM is coming, you have the water weight from that too. Avoid the scale until you're off the meds. Should you still be restricting calories as you heal? Does your doctor know you're doing that?[/quote] You're right.I hate how obsessive I am,I get bothered even when I know it…

Yes..Ikr lol I'm just worried if it'll ever look the way it did pre op Also,I think found the cause of constant weight gain.The doc has put me on cefuroxime axetil which is known to cause fluid retention/weight gain :\ Can't wait to be done with these *kitten* meds lol

Ok so I hadn't gained any weight from the surgery immediately,but now it has been 4 days since the surgery and my weight is constantly increasing by 0.2 - 0.6 lbs everyday :( I have gained a total of 2 lbs now and since I'm so obsessive when it comes to the number on the scale,it's really bothering me.I'm really not eating…

OMG! It hurt real bad for the first 2 days haha,I kept begging my brother and friends not to say any funny *kitten*

Thankyou and I kinda do. No more attacks! And my gallbladder looked soo distended and awful I'm glad I don't have it inside me anymore.. I also used to have persistent slight pain in my sternum which I didn't even know was caused by mr. gallbladder..that is gone too :smile:

Got the surgery done on friday, recovering pretty fast :smile: Thought I'd gain few pounds after the surgery temporarily due to gas/bloating from anaesthesia but I didn't!

You guys have me feeling better,I almost got depressed lol

Damn..mine is not that bad at all.Did you have too many stones/were they obstruding the ducts?

I thought so too..also,it's possible that people who are having such problems are the ones who post in these threads more.They might as well be a minority.

Already asked the doctor,he said it has nothing to do with weight gain but I was still skeptical.

I have only one stone and do not have very frequent attacks (once in 20/30 days mostly),but it is somewhat big and is stuck in the cystic duct so the doctor says it could get more and more problematic. I really didn't want the surgery but after much convincing and hearing some horror stories of gallbladder and stones,I've…

There's nothing good about being fat but imo,the worst thing is actually that you're basically inviting so many health issues,almost deliberately.

I'm sorry but what is this supposed to mean :neutral_face:

I'm not very rigid about it but I now have a habit of not eating for 3-4 hours before I go to bed.One reason is that it keeps the morning weigh-ins lower :wink: Well I do know that's a silly reason lol but I'm obsessed with 'the number'

OP,I don't know how relevant this is but have you checked for insulin resistance? A lot of pre-diabetic people suffer from that and it lowers your metabolism and causes more fat storage + increases your hunger.
