Congrats!

Hello everyone. So today was my first Post Op appointment. My surgery was Jan 30th 18. I am proud to say I am down 15 pounds!!!!!! HW 235 SW 230 CW 220 I was feeling a little discouraged and down this past week because giving up food was hard for me but this definitely gave me that confidence I needed! I’m happy to say I don’t regret this surgery! Looking forward for the future! Would also love to hear anyone else’s stats

It's been 4 months of careful dieting in preparation for surgery. I had a 4 day weekend come up and decided to visit my sister. I was sleeping on her couch and eating out, so not on diet. Now I'm panicking that's I've seriously messed up. Help.

Hit Onederland this week. This morning I hit 197.2! OMG. I'm pretty sure I was never this light in high school! I'm so happy!

Thank you and good luck on Friday

Yay you!!! These are not easy sacrifices... but they pay off. It's important to stay focused on the big picture...

Stop eating so many tacos, just kidding. My doctor and dietician said to expect about 1.5 to 2 pounds a week. Are you averaging that? Do not be too hard on yourself, the weight will come off. This is a marathon and not a sprint.

Thanks Losebig. You know, I compare myself to you because we share this date .. There is you and a few others and man, yall are blowing me out of the water. I am happy for you, I am so happy. I just don't want to be behind. You know this is all or ours fear (if we're honest) . "What if all I lose is 50 pounds and this is it. My losing weight never continues on" Okay, maybe it's just MY fear lol. Can I ask your name. I've forgotten. Thanks for yoru encouragement. I'm glad we're friends. Wait, we are, right? We're in this journey, putting away all the taco's - together Hugs Joanna

I'm doing well on the above, though there's very little variety. Honestly I'd love to just eat chicken, that's mostly what I ate pre surgery, but for whatever reason post surgery chick breast is a no go so far. I think I do better with chicken or turkey sausage because it's a little bit more moist and soft. The hot dogs are 97% fat free, nitrate free, so minimal fat and calories, but good protein. We're allowed non starchy vegetables and 1 serving max of fruit a day. They want us to focus on lean protein for the most part, so I've mostly stayed away from beef or fatty meats. Cheese is low fat and I try to have only 1 or 2 servings a day (Carbs). I do track calories and am averaging around 1,100 calories per day (range 900 - 1200). Weight's coming off well and I'm meeting with the nutritionist later this week so we will see what she thinks. I'm sure she will want more vegetables, though it's been tough to find the room and still hit protein goals.
