Honestly I run first thing in the morning, so 9 times out of 10 I haven't eaten anything or I'll have a quick protein shake. On my long runs I will eat 2-3 gummy bears every 3 miles ! Just don't eat the sugar free ones ....lol ! Everyone is different, just experiment with different things to find out what works for you ! As far as your eating, I'm sure that will be hard seeings you're still in the honeymoon phase! My nut just had me up my calories by 200 on the days I was doing my long runs, my suggestion to you is don't just run, do some strength training too! I'm running the Pittsburgh half next month, this will be my second half and I can't wait! Enjoy and keep going, you got this, good luck and be strong !

I have lost 87% of my excess weight ! I'm just under two years post. I lost probably 80% of that in the first year alone. I've been maintaining now for about 8 months. I still personally would like to lose 18 more pounds but I'm not pressing the issue at this point. I will get there eventually!

2 years out and I am always cold !

The only vitamins I can take are Flintstones ! Any other ones make me sick !

Yes try the meat roll ups, maybe you should try having a shake for breakfast instead of the sausage patty! I don't eat a lot of meat either but I do make sure I have a protein shake for when I don't believe I'm making my protein intake ! Maybe start over with the basics, liquids for 1 week, don't give up, stay strong!

I would definitely consult with your surgeon, seems to me if you were doing your follow visits, they would question the weight loss ! Everyone is different for sure, hopefully they can figure this out for you, best of luck to you! Don't lose faith, you got this!

I weigh in daily but only count it on Monday, if that makes any sense !

Okay, I'm almost two years out. I've hit the doctors goal and I am still trying to lose the last 18 for my goal. My highest was 280 and I'm now 183, I seem to fluctuate but never higher than 185. I'm really into running lately and currently training for a half marathon. I know my calories are higher but when running 10 miles, your body does need fuel ! Would it be worth a try to do the pouch test ?? I know everyone is different but I really wanna lose these last few not only to reach my goal but also to be able to have the skin removed around the mid-section !!

@ Feedyoureye nothing is a permanent weight loss solution !!

Wow amazing !! Im contemplating the tummy tuck, more less my wallet is. I so need it but ugh $$$ ! Good for you and your such an inspiration to others. I've lost 97 pounds so far, everyone thinks I look just fine and if I lost more I would look sick. I only wanna lose 18 more and get a tummy tuck is that to much to ask for lol ! Congrats again on your success !!

Definitely Sweet N Low for me, although it make my stomach sing songs for awhile after I drink it !

It's funny how being constipated makes you sick that's happened to me so many times! Feel better

Everyone has a different opinion about the stretching of the sleeve. Every doctor also gives a different answer. My doctor says that it's physically impossible to stretch it back to the way it was, yes it can stretch but very little! So I personally feel at your next appointment you should talk with your doctor and go with what he/she says, they are your doctor !

I'm one year out and I've lost 89% of my excess weight. Only 11 more pounds to go to 100%. I surpassed the doctors goal for me 30 pounds ago. Everyone is different. If your compliant then it works !! And I'm no angel by any means, but like a lot of you's we started this journey for a reason and I would like to say I actually accomplished something I set out to do !!
