My surgery was 10/22/15 I had no complications and actually everything went better that I had thought. When I started the program in 3/2015 I weighed 298 pounds my heaviest ever. I had trouble breathing and just life. On my surgery date I was 255

At my one month post op I was 233 I have my 2 month post op 12/17 and as of today I'm 224 and have been that for a week and a half......I'm frustrated...I'm exercising and following my diet except yesterday I nibbled a sample of one of my Xmas Cookies I had just made(new receipt)

The guilt was awful.

Also how long does it take to get taste back ??? Everything taste awful and my pouch is funny something I ate one day may make me sick the next....I can't live on shakes forever

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Congratulations on your weight loss so far. It is common to experience stalls during your weight loss. So stay calm and let the magic continue to happen. I do not know if you ever completely get your taste back, but you will recover most of it over a year or two. I found combining foods such as in chili and Soups will provide you with good flavor. I am including links to a couple articles that describe my journey. They may be of some help.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
