I know you felt great!!!! Congrats!!!

Almost 7 months out

Thank you guys!!!

Feeling great today!!!! Day of surgery I was 215..... Today 145!!!!! Thank God!!!!!

Good morning beautiful friends!!! How is everyone doing??? Everyone sound in and give us an update please. Today I lost pound. ???????????????????? I'm now at 145 ..... Day of surgery I was 215 Every time I look in the mirror I am just shocked at the person looking back at me. Today as I glared at the reflection if myself my thoughts were wow..... This used to be a morbid obese person. I never thought it possible to feel the way I do today.

I want to scream for you!!! Hope good things and great losses are right around the corner for you!

So great!!!!! You will be there in no time at all.

Hello everyone, Just returned from a beach trip for Spring Break. Had a great time. I was worried because we ate out alot. I had more calories than I'm used to. Got home last night and dreaded climbing on the scale. I was shocked!!! I dropped 2 pounds!!! I'm now at 146 so 16 pounds from my goal. So glad to hear from you all.

Art- not sure what to say. You've done all you can. I'm just not sure how another surgery will restart your system if its a Metabolic issue. I just hope for your sake that this isn't some Doctors answer to filling his pocket with your cash when they really don't have an answer for you. I wish you good luck in whatever you decide to do. You are a great person and you have given this your all.

Your doing great!!! Don't worry about what your Doc said about goal weight. You know your body and what's right for you. Go for it girl!!!!

Art- perfect!!! So excite for you. Keep doing it and that stubborn weight will move. Some if us are very carb sensitive. Low carbing is the only way we loose. My NUT told me to keep my calories low. I told her I eat between 700-800 a day and she said that was great. No need to increase. I keep my carbs low and calories low and I loose at least a pound a week. I hit 149 yesterday!!!!!

Artsong- also the time for your body to show Ketosis is different for everyone. For me a week.

Sorry to say that in the past I rarely got my strips to dark purple even when doing 20 carbs it less. Maybe it because I have PCOS. My strips would register a light shade of pink.

I'm going for the 6 month NUT appointment today. I know they are going to say I need more calories. I still average between 700-800 a day. It will be interesting to see how different the advise will be between the NUT and the Surgeon. I know they are not in the same page so it's hard to know who to follow. My Surgeon said ... Don't worry about calories. Just get 60 grams if protein in and then stop eating.

You go girl!!!!!!

Scared of the unknown - you have so got this!!!! I hope it works for you to get things moving.

One day at a time. Don't stress. It took us half a life time to become obese so the success we have today at only 6 months is a heaven sent blessing!!! We are changing in positive ways everyday!!!

Sounds to me like you Doctor has no answer for the reason of slow weight loss. The only thing he can offer you is a second surgery because he has nothing else to give. I so t think its the size if your stomach because you eat small amounts and low cal. It sounds more like a metabolic issue to me. We don't blame you for being mad girl so let it out. We are here for you.
