So, I ordered a few clearance dresses for work because I am swimming in everything I own! I ordered an XL dress, and pulled the 18W/18’s out of the closet. The 18’s all fit!! The dresses fit! Feeling a bit adventurous, I went to JCPenney and purchased some work shirts! XL work shirts with room to spare!! This tool is amazing..... but busting my butt in the gym everyday is doing magic on this body composition!! HW: 301 SW: 279 (Sleeved 1/28/19) CW: 251

Fantastic weight loss and I’m sorry your struggling. Weight loss slows and restriction becomes less as you progress out from surgery. You’re not alone and this is normal. Just because we can eat more does not mean we have to eat over our weight loss macros and calories. Strategies to fill the extra space and help with hunger. (log food – stay in your calories and macros) Eat dense protein. (nothing soft) Eat as much veggies until full with your protein (Keeps your calories low and fills the extra space) If you are adding in extra carbs/sugar they will make you crave them more - Get them out of the house and detox Find bariatric recipes to get out of food ruts. Healthy should be flavorful. Keep healthy sweet and salty foods in the house

I broke 150 lbs today!!!! 150 lbs has been my wall for the past 15 years. I've dieted down to the low 150s 3 times only to regain what I lost and more. I am now officially 149.7 lbs as of this morning. Yay me!

it took me a long time to grow my hair back after all the surgery hair loss. Hairdresser screwed up my Hair, Now It’s way too short and I just want to cry. It will grow back. But damn. I'm in a pitty party.

I agree WLS is a roller coaster especially when making the decision to actually have the surgery. Getting to the point of accepting that weight loss surgery is not something to be ashamed of but the celebration of a tool that will enable us to have a longer and healthier life. No shame in looking out for ourselves first. I also have a very judgmental family the reason I haven't told not one member( except for my children who super supportive). If i don't put myself first no one will.

Hey there... I have a similar issue. I can drink my protein shakes, eat soup without any kind of problem...but drinking water....two sips and I feel that same kind of stomach clenching. I can drink powerade zero fine to without that feeling... but plain water...not so much. Sent from my SM-N950U using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm not sure but I think that says your husband loves 💗 you. I don't know what I would do without my daughter helping me. I've had a hard time recovering and help is a blessing. I hope it all works out for you and you get the support you need. Best wishes!

I love Genpro unflavored protein powder. You can literally put it in ANYTHING and you can't tell. I add it to flavored water, coffee, any flavor of broth, yogurt, cottage cheese I could go on and on. It really opens up your flavor options! Sent from my SM-N950U using BariatricPal mobile app

I was tested before and tested positive. I went through a cycle of antibiotics. There was not a follow up endo and biopsy to confirm it was gone. With everything that is going on I am sure it's still there. Another worry.....

I'm a year out, and I'm keeping it at 1,200 a day. I lost 5 pounds this week, so I guess it's still okay!
