I have very exciting news! I am pregnant! I am 5 weeks and 5 days! eek!

I hope that Christina can keep on the right track and keep loosing. She has enablers all around her and it's a toxic environment. I am in a realization that she is the same age as me and I would of ended up like her. I am glad that I have my tool and it reminds me why I had my surgery done in the first place.

no, but it wont help because I have drainage in my chest.

I am from east TN!

So, I havent been on here in a while, but I am doing great. 90 pounds lost, from a size 22-24 to a 14-16. Have had a ton of complications, the most recent one is from me fainting. I am now going to follow up with a cardiologist to see why my blood pressure keeps dropping. I am eating about 1000 calories a day and 70-80 grams of Protein and 72 ounces of Water. I am back to working part time and have had no problems adjusting. I hope everyone is well!

I have much more energy! I can go without taking a nap throughout the whole day. I can walk a 2 mile trail without loosing breath and I can do 30 minutes on the elliptical without stopping. I can say that I have hit a stall but I know that my body mass is still shrinking. My wedding ring is falling off and a 18 inch chain sits in my cleavage now. lol. but I am so happy with my progress even with the complications that I have had. I have my 3 month check up today and I am down 67 pounds according to my scale. I am in a 16-18 pant from a 22-24 and a xl from a 2xl-3xl.

I am going to start seeing a NUT to help me figure out what I should be eating.

Here is my 6 week post op stats: sw:313 cw:264

8 weeks out and down 57 pounds. I have another endoscopy on the 26th to strech my pouch again because I have another stricture. I am so blown away by the progress that I have made,

You can (and should) change your settings to reflect your current Protein and calorie goals. However it will still tell you that you are not eating enough. It is a tool for ALL that wish to loose weight, not just those who have had surgery. I find it an invaluable tool to my success and the message that I am not eating enough a pat on the back that I have had a great eating day!

Just got discharged from the hospital. I go to my surgeons hospital tomorrow to get a scope done to see where I am bleeding from. I am staying overnight there too. Hopefully it's all decent news and if not I'll be in the place that can fix it.

I'm thinking about getting mine tattooed on me. Just to remind myself.

Working out is my new hobby. It helps me get my Water in! I drink 24 oz while there! And I'm cleared to do weights as well as run!

Coming up on 6 weeks post op and down almost 50 pounds and down 2 pant sizes! Is this for real!?

8 am up and drinking first Protein shake with Vitamins
9 am 24 oz of Water and in my way to the gym
11 am sf Popsicle
24 oz of Water
1pm lunch of blended chicken salad about 3 tsb
4 pm snack of sf Jello. About 1/4 cup
16 oz water
6:30 dinner light and fit Greek yogurt about 1/8 cup
8 pm Protein Shake with Vitamins
I am 3 weeks post op and slowly introducing mushy foods

Everyone will do just fine! I am almost 3 weeks out and love the habits that I am forming now. It's wonderful not to rely on food and have your day revolve around it. It is a life changer but each and everyone of you can do this. It's not easy and I can tell you that first hand. But it's worth it. Just sip, sip, sip and walk. Walking helped me so much. And gas will get stuck and the more you move the easier it will come out. And please stick to your surgeons post op diet and don't advanced without their permission. This is crucial to healing. Don't be like me and try to brave it. You'll end up miserable and throwing up. That is so unpleasant and hurts. Good luck to all upcoming surgeries and healing prayers sent to the ones on the losers bench already!!

4 weeks post op and down 40 pounds! I cannot believe it. I am down a pant size and down a bra size too. Mushy foods suck and guacamole has too many spices for me to tolerate.
