Congrats!!! Isn't it an awesome feeling. I just hit the same on Monday!!! Sent from my iPhone using VST

I am 6 months post op and down 100 lbs, 66 lbs since surgery and only 28 lbs from my goal!!!! I am loving my WLS journey!

I always start my day with a premier protein shake for breakfast. I eat protein every 2-3 hours. My protein goal that was set by my dietitian is 95 g and I hit it most days. I use MFP and track everything I eat. I weigh and measure everything I eat unless I am eating out, which is very limited. I don't use a gym, I walk and love it. I also get in my pool and goof around with my grandbabies when I can. I weigh every day, but Mondays are my official weigh in days. I do not eat pasta, rice, or white potatoes and pretty much no bread. I have just recently started adding in whole grains. I was given a book at my first surgeons appt. and was told to follow it that it would be my bible to eat by and that's what I am doing. I am not perfect I may take a bite here and there of something but I count it and go on...Hope that helps. I eat between 1000 and 1200 calories a day. I don't drink any kind of soda, I don't use a straw, I just started having half decaf coffee when I work nights. Every thing else is sugar free/ caffeine free.

You are doing awesome!

BEAUTIFUL!

at 2 wks out I progressed to pureed foods, at 4 wks soft food. You might try pureed.

Thanks, I feel a decade younger if not more! Sent from my iPhone using VST

Wow rock that sleeve!

Great job! Keep it up!

Mine started coming out around 2 months. It was really bad for about 2-3 months. It's still coming out, but has slowed way down...finally. I will be 6 months on Sunday July 28th. I have been reaching my protein goal since early on, taking biotin and all my vitamins and still doing a daily shake.....it still came out, still is but like I said it has slowed way down. Thank god I had a head full of thick hair. I did cut off because the shedding was driving me nuts!
