You have given your body quite a shock. It's in starvation mode. You will see posts on this all the time. Give your body time to adjust to the kick in the butt it got. You will succeed, just patience is key!

I am sagging all over too. But I am noticing the more time goes on that it doesnt look that bad. No where near as bad as being fat and unhealthy, I mean I wont ever wear a bikini but the clothes I am wearing look damn good. Im giving it another year to see where everything ends up and then I will make the decision on what I want to nip tuck and lift. Im 45.

I was just telling my family the other day that when I go for my year checkup next month Im gonna ask my dr if he wants me to speak at his next seminar. I feel like I just want to tell everyone about my experience and help others who have struggled like I have.

Chicken Pineapple kebobs. On the grill. It was great!!!

Thanks it sounds great

Ooohhhh Lisa that sounds good... What's the recipe

My husband always eats whatever I dont finish so I have my own built in garbage disposal.

congrats!!!

Elle.. congrats on hitting that 100 lbs lost!!!

Woohoo!!!

Thanks girl... Ya I'm feeling pretty good right now as think Saturday will be a go... Tomorrow I'm just gonna take it easy. Thanks for the input

I've lost 169 lbs and have 6 more to go... I really secretly want to lose 13 more which would be a total lost of 182 lbs... I will be one year post op on feb 21st

Are you worried about the integrity of your pouch? If so then the hernia could be looked at as a blessing in disguise because you would know for sure. Good luck

Greek yogurts are a soft food that has great protein and will bump caloric intake. I honestly never worried about calories just tried to keep protein at 70-90 grams a day.

Is joining weight watchers an option? Good plan and weekly weigh ins are great documentation.

Anniesmom.. do you work and if so how long did you take off after having the proceedure. They gave me a saddleblock to help with post pain at home and advised me not to work tomorrow. But also work Saturdays for about 5 hours and was wondering if that was feasible. At home feeling pretty good right now. Got some great drugs. lol!! Made the mistake of getting on the scale and forgot that the iv fluids make you gain alot.... so gonna ignore that weight and weigh again Sunday.

Welcome to the forum... you are in the right place to get back on track. You have a plan so just stick to it. Good luck!!!

wow that seems a little unrealistic to have to lose 50 lbs in 2 months. I would go on some sort of 2 meals of protein shakes and then one healthy meal. But seriously that seems crazy.

So glad things went well.. Weight loss is awesome girl!!! The best is yet to come

Woohoo!!!!

wow... well thank goodness they caught what was causing the problem. Good luck with that!!!

hey tim... welcome to the boards. Dont be afraid to post out of the man room... lol... lots of women here like to hear your perspective... and see how you are doing. Good luck on your journey

Premium pouch space should be reserved for protein!!! Especially only weeks out!!!
