Im a year out and Im still at a stand still can anyone provide me with any tips to get back on the bandwagon. I cant seem to lose any weight

If anything I gain and lose I stay in the area of 340-319... it is driving me insane... any suggestions would help.

Cw 369

Goal weight 350

<div>I am 7 months post op. I started this journey at 397 and lost 35 before surgery which ended me at 362. I have lost 81 pounds since surgery and all together 115 pounds. Still have more to go. So far this journey has been a roller coaster but its been worth it! </div> <div> </div> <div>

</div> <div> </div> <div>

What did u do to lose the weight because I'm 369 now and have been this for two weeks now I can't hold no food

Here's my before and after pic. Still have a long ways to go, but getting there day by day, pound by pound.

How long has it been since surgery for you? @@danaevaughn

Cw 369 gw 350 having a hard time losing weight

Weigh in a little late sorry cw 372 gw 350 I'm at a bit of a standstill I guess because I'm on a new stage

Current weight: 372

Goal weight: 350

Hope this is how the weigh in works

OMG I thought it was just me! I love Pickle Juice. I should have a bit (the kids saved a jar of it after they ate all the pickles.

Same here lol

When I got home today, I found my letter in the mailbox! I am approved and Cigna only took a week from the date the dr. turned in the paperwork. Date is set for next week, June 5

Whoo hoo congrats and good luck on your upcoming journey

Count me in please ... I was sleeved on May 14th so I don't really know what a realistic weight would be since I will be making 7 weeks at that time so...

SW : 375.5 lbs

Goal: 350lbs

Right now I feel great last time I weighed this much it took me almost an entire summer and all this was in a week. I was sleeved 5/14/2014 ... Very excited I just need to get more Protein in and my Vitamins

I was sleeved on May 14th ... I love being me at every event I'm smiling I'm laughing and I am making sure the person next to me is doing the same. I love my friends and family of course some things are often said behind my back about me and my weight but I have never let it bother me. I am a fighter so most words don't come my way. I will miss how honest people are with me how guys don't breathe down my neck and chase me around the club. I will miss how meeting someone for first time was never awkward.

I have always had friends smaller than me and I've seen how they have had to chase off people or people asking them for dates instead of business during meetings ... I have always been the gladiator to protect my girls when we are out.

But I have also felt the hurt that comes with my size a good friend and president of a major company told me this " you could be the smartest person in the room have all the credentials but if you don't look the part you will never succeed in our worlds version of the NORM" I believe that with all my heart why I have not gotten some of the jobs ... I'm always called for a interview but once I walk into the room I loose eye contact ... And I am truly making this change because first I want a family and every doctor says weight is the issue and second because I want someone to make eye contact with me.

Sorry I tend to ramble but that's how I feel

Had Sleeve on December 10 2012.

Wow amazing

Thank you! I appreciate it! I am actually super self-conscious of my arms! lol. I have done nothing specific to tone them. I run which does work your arms a little, but nothing targeted. I do things like the elliptical, cycling, zumba, yoga, but again, nothing really targeted for arms. Once I hit my goal weight I want to start strength training to tone them.

You look

Amazing I hope after recovery I have the same strength to reach my goal

This pic was 1 year ago!!! My 1 year surgiversary is coming up quick! June 26th. Down 145lbs!

Wow amazing transformation what was your start and finish weight if you don't mind me asking

Ok, we have to strategize together,I just got on my scale and I gained 1 pound! I guess I need to stick to my schedule for eating, because something has to give! No regrets..let's all push forward! If anyone needs a copy of my diet schedule,, let me know! It's on

I would like a copy if u don't mind

Are you sleeping OK? I'm thinking maybe you're sleeping with your head at an odd angle and/or grinding your teeth. My sister used to get terrible cricks in her neck when she had seasonal allergy problems. I can't imagine a Calcium deficiency would give you symptoms like this.

Nope I'm a stomach sleeper and sleeping on my back has given me some of the worst sleep

How far out from surgery are you? I had some jaw pain and a stiff neck for the first week. I attributed it to the breathing tube and angle of my neck during surgery. Heat and Tylenol helped.

I'm one week out today I was sleeved on the 14th of May

The last few days I hAve woke up with stiffness in the neck and horrible jaw pain and teeth have been hurting ... Could it be that I am not taking enough Calcium?

It's been an amazing year! 80 lbs lost, 20 more to go!

You look good keep up the good work

Hope all is well

I'm having a very difficult time staying hydrated and getting all the Protein in. I feel like I am ready to move on to puréed to but I'm scared of doing something that will be harmful. I am supposed to do full liquids until the 29th. Anyone move to puréed on the second week with no harmful effects?

We'll yesterday when I did I was fine when I blended some of my moms unhealthy black eyes peas with some of her yams with some Water and I just spit out the skin ... But later that day I had Soup blended and it wanted to come out ... So today will be liquids to try and get that down

Angie I would not move to puréed until your doc says. You can try sugar free pudding, that was easy for me. Also Dannon Light an Fit Greek Yogurt in Coconut vanilla saved me.

Thanks but I really hate pudding and yogurt but I appreciate the offers
