Hi guys and gals, This is insane! I started my journey at 287, a size 24 pant (that were a little on the tight side.) I had surgery on May 14th at 260. Today, just shy of 4 weeks out I weighed in at 239 (finally broke that damn stall). Anyways my clothes have literally been FALLING off me. I was just fine until about a week ago. So I went shopping today and grabbed some size 22s. Too big. So I grabbed some 20s. Still too big. So in total awe I grabbed some size 18s and holy mackerel they FIT. I almost died. And I tried on a shirt that was size 14/16 and it fit! I am on cloud 9 right now 😍. Hope all my fellow May surgery buddies are doing well!

Luckily I’m one of those people who is extremely strong willed and never really cared or worked about what others thought (even since I was a little kid), so it more baffles me than causes any real issue. Just weird how people are. I just think people don’t like change.

From what I have read, that is too few calories for someone three months post op. You won't have put on fat weight, it is more likely fluid retention plus possibly bulk from the extra food. It is only temporary, a bit like when people go through the post op diet stages, as they progress they typically have a stall or gains, but once their bodies adapt weight loss kicks in again. While WLS does typically result in a lower calorie intake, you don't want to go so low that it comprises your health: body using muscle for nutrition - you want to maintain muscle as much as possible, hair loss, lack of energy etc. Bear in mind, now that you are already in the healthy BMI range, that weight loss will be lower per week than it was immediately following your surgery. Please do listen to your nutritionist.

I did the carb restricted liver shrink protein shake diet from hell for two weeks. I still maintain...it was the HARDEST part of this whole process. (for me, anyway) Tips: If you have to drive anywhere, drink your shake ten minutes before you drive. I was lightheaded and had crappy reaction time. Loading the calories right before driving helped me stay alert on the road. Here's the exciting part....you are in the home stretch. You are huffing up that mountain...and then you'll have the climax...the day of surgery! And it's all down hill from there. Post op diet is tough, too...but you get to add things and each day gets better. Take this a day at a time...and stay the course. You can do it!

Yes I guess it would but pull it up on. Google Play and look over what portions of your phone systems it wants access to! I considered it until then, the originator asked everything except permission to county,i freckles on your backside and he expects you to make multiple purchases starting at $4 and going up, sounds suspiciously like a malware purveyor to me! 👎

Woot!

I know right? who would have thought fruit could be a problem but it was. I have lost 7.7 pounds this week as of today! They moved me to berries and green apples only and that did the trick.

Welcome and congrats on losing the first 45 already!

Every time I stall, I have to cut the fruit. Its grueling, but necessary. It always solves the problem.

Goody you are feeling better,my favorite Tarheel puppy is going to be okay again!🐶
