08/20/18 - weight 165.5 / bmi 25.9 / bmr 1602 kcals / fat% 17.4% / fat mass 29 lbs 08/16/19 - weight 149.5 / bmi 23.5 / bmr 1500 kcals / fat% 16.7% / fat mass 25 lbs desired range fat % 11-22 / fat mass 17-38.5 lbs just got back from my 2 year check up and wanted to post. The kcal drop has me worried and thinking i need to up the weights and trim back the cardio. Never saw myself as a person who cared for bulky muscles but the increased calorie burn from more muscle mass certainly wont hurt. New goal for the next year i guess.

Hey to all my BariatricPals who have lost 100 lbs or more what exercise routines worked best for you? I’m 10 weeks post gastric sleeve and my goal is to lose 160 pounds! My surgeon said I’m going to have to work hard to lose this much weight. So I just joined my local YMCA and have started taking water exercise classes and Zumba. Of course I was told that walking is good. I’m just curious about the “secrets” of the success of those of you who have already lost 100 pounds…

I have not. I do hope that you get some answers soon and that it is nothing serious. Hang in there and keep us posted with what you find out.

You look amazing!!! You have so much to be proud about, all that hard work.

Wow!! You both are looking fantastic, keep on motivating each other. It is so helpful when you are not alone through this process. 👍🏽

Oh my you are doing FANTASTIC!! Keep it up!!! You are off 3 meducations too - Wow!! BRAVO! YES, do not worry about stales, they are expected. My surgery is not until August 27th & I'm gearing up for my 1 week pre-op diet Tuesday, August 20th! Keep us posted with your progress - I"m following your lead : )

You might want to call your surgeon and let them know what is going on and find out if this is normal or should you be concerned. Praying it isn't anything.

I know a LOT of people who have been on them for years and are doing fine. Spoke to my Dr. about it yesterday and as long as you get your bones checked and your body is absorbing vitamins ect it is fine, better then getting cancer and not taking the PPI.

Measure everything, took me a long time to know what my new “full” felt like
