HW 372 SW 350 CW 185 GW 150 Lost 187 so far....
To regain some sense of control, I deactivated my account and created a new one. I'm still hoping that once the account is fully deactivated, it will eventually stop showing up in Google search results. It's frustrating that something as simple as trusting a privacy setting can result in such a big invasion of personal space. I truly hope the platform addresses this kind of issue better in the future.
As for my DS journey, I started at 320 lbs. In the first year, my monthly weight loss varied a lot, but here's a rough breakdown:
-
Month 1-3: Around 20-25 lbs per month (the rapid drop stage!)
-
Month 4-6: Slowed to 10-15 lbs per month Geometry Dash
-
Month 7-12: More like 5-10 lbs a month as my body adjusted
By the end of my first year, I had lost about 160 lbs total. It wasn't linear--there were stalls and fluctuations--but it was steady progress. And even though we all lose at different rates, it's totally okay to imagine your future and set goals. Dreaming is part of the process and keeps us going when things feel slow.
Absolutely do not abuse too many drugs with the same effect in one day. Because their different medicinal properties may not be compatible with each other. You should first drink plenty of water to avoid dehydration.
This interesting new twist offers an alternative to GLP-1s and acts as a temporary lining on the small intestine to mimic a gastric bypass for 24 hours.

Really interesting concept! A pill that mimics gastric bypass for 24 hours without surgery could be a game-changer in weight loss treatment. Curious to see how it performs in larger human trials

First off, congrats on your progress so far?38 pounds down already is amazing, and it sounds like you?re totally crushing it on your journey! I had my duodenal switch a couple of years ago, and I?d love to share a bit about my experience. The surgery itself went pretty smoothly for me?honestly, the prep leading up to it felt more intense than the actual day! Pain-wise, it wasn?t as bad as I expected; I was sore for sure, but they kept me comfortable with meds, and walking around as soon as I could really helped. Pro tip: bring a pillow to hold against your stomach when you move?it?s a game-changer for that first week.
I totally get the anesthesia nerves?honestly, I was the same way! For me, it was over before I even knew it, and waking up was just kind of groggy but not scary. One weird thing after? My taste buds went haywire for a bit?some foods I loved before tasted off for a few weeks, which was wild! Definitely stock up on stuff you like that?s DS-friendly for after taking an iq test free.
After my surgery, the Dr. told me an egg a day keeps the diarrhea away. It seemed to work for me. I still get diarrhea at least a few times a month but only as part of normal bowel movements ... meaning no accidents.
I have been taking Pepto and various anti diarrhea medications multiple times a day. Is there a certain medication that works?
Thank you!
His advice is invaluable for anyone considering or living with DS: the surgery itself is just the beginning. The commitment to vitamins, supplements, and regular health monitoring is crucial, as he learned through personal experience. It's also a great reminder that support systems whether from doctors, friends, or online communities play a huge role in long-term success. Stickman Hook
