Some people dont lose as much as others, just stick to plan and if you are meant to lose more you will.

Many times sugar free things have caused me to dump, like jello. Things that are really loaded with sugar like ice cream, even frozen yogurt. I can have some sugar. Dry cereal is ok for me and fruit. Juice has never made me dump either

Mamiof3kids I just noticed you updated your profile pic. You look amazing

I was born in plattsburgh

Normal

You look fantastic

B12 , iron, and potassium. Make sure you are getting them. You may want to switch to b12 shot if you dont do it already

Well good. That means surgery worked

Your pouch is just swollen. That is going to happen in the beginning

Yuck blended pizza.... Just eat something else.

Great job. You look fab!

Somedays you will go up a pound, next day lose 2. Normal

Honestly, get used to it .somedays I can eat more but generally the meals remain tiny at 6 months

After surgery food does not taste the same. I used to love cheeseburgers. Now I hate,bread. Beef is too heavy. Mynew favorite food is an orange. I eat an orange every day and am in love with them.

Its hard parting with.it all. I just gad a meltdown about this last week

Very good advice! I would like to add that you are not a failure if you cant get in x amount of protein or water in a day. Just try to reach the goal every day and you will be healthy even if you cant reach it. Oh and take your vitamins or you will feel ill. Prepare to wish you were on the funny farm because this is very very hard mentally. The people that you dont want to notice your loss will gush about it. The people you are dying to have notice you will only talk about your loss behind your back. Pat yourself on the back so noone else has to. Be kind to your melting body. It can look out of proportion for awhile.

I have tatoo on my chest and left arm. Both are unchanged.

Depression is something I have dealt with a lot since surgery. It is horrible. Good luck.

You look amazing. Such success!

You look amazing. Such success!

I could not sit in a beach chair without it crashing backward putting me axe end over teakettle,! I flipped over 3 x last year!

That is super great! I am celebrating too with the purchase of a strapless dress. Never in my life have I worn one. Im quite chesty, but it fits and looks cute. I think I am wearing it for easter. I am now in the 140s weight wise at 6 months out and weigh less than my license .... Yippee

I have not done protein shakes since month two. I eat protein. I do alot of yogurt, beans, cheese

I love refried beans and cheese or taco insides. Delicious and never gets old.
