I haven't checked in for a while Surgery date - November 19th 2014 Starting weight - 275 Current weight - 184 Total lost 91 pounds!!! 14 pounds to initial goal of 170 How's everyone else doing??

I haven't really "worked out" but I walk a lot!

How is everyone doing? I hit Onederland today! 196.4 pounds to be exact! Down from 275!! Here's some before and current pics!

Awesome!!! I hit Onederland today and it feels AMAZING!!!

Totally!!! I was shocked! I am down 67 pounds and my feet have shrunk a size already from a 9 to an 8!

I don't drink a lot of milk but have really good luck eating lots of cheese. I'll have to try some milk and let you know how it does :-)

I am feeling great!!!! I had surgery November 19th and I am down 62.6 pounds! 12 pounds was pre-op and 50 since surgery :-) I feel great!!!! Best decision I've ever made! My heaviest weight was 275 and now I am at 212.4. I am going on a cruise on the 27th of February and I hope that I am under 200 by the time we leave :-) that would be awesome! Here's a before and 2 week ago picture.... Best decision I've ever made!!!

I am on a general diet and typically get about 1/2 cup down at each meal. I try and stick with proteins like Chicken, Shrimp, salami, cashews etc for the primary portion of my meal and will add a fork full of vegetables. I snack only sometimes and when I do it's a protein bar or veggie straws. I was sleeved on 11/19 and have lost 62 pounds total - 50 since surgery.

I find it hard to get my water in too! I am doing ok eating but I make sure to take all of my vitamins because I don't want to lose my hair and they help with skin issues. I found that zero vitamin water squeezed lemonade is the best and it seems to be easy for me to drink - I typically get 3 20oz bottles down daily. I've lost 62 pounds total - 50 since surgery on 11/19/2014

Does anyone else travel a lot? I'm finding it hard to get all of my protein in and eat healthy while on the road - all suggestions are welcome!! Here's my travel schedule and you will understand how much I am traveling in the past and upcoming months and how worried I am that I'm not going to continue to lose while away from home... 2 weeks ago - Radcliff, Ky Last week - Oahu, Hawaii This week - Radcliff, Ky Next week - home Week after that - Orlando, Fl Week after that - San Diego, Ca Week after that - home Week after that - cruise with the hubby for 7 days Week after that - Manila, Philippines Week after that - Manila, Philippines Week after that - home FINALLY!!

Wow! You are doing wonderful! What are you eating at this stage? Are you working out?

I'm in week 6 and haven't had bread yet. I'm holding out because I dint want to start craving carbs :-)

Ignore him - it may be the first negative comment but unfortunately probably not the last :-( Hold your head high and know that you are making the right decision for YOU and nobody else!

Where do you get these Greens? I've never seen them... I take my pills like this: Morning when I wake up: Calcium chew B12 Vitamin D - RX - mon, wed, fri only Evening 2 multi Vitamins with Biotin for hair Calcium chew

I haven't had any noticeable hair loss yet and for that I am thankful

Mine was 2 weeks liquid :-) you can do it!!!

Have you tried switching up what you are eating?

I have a very hungry husband :-) he eats all the leftovers so I never waste anything! And he's 6'6 and 223 so soon I'll weigh less than him!! Woot!

The problem I've found going out to eat is that you pay so much for a meal that you only have a few small bites of. I don't like leftovers at all so I throw them away and feel that I am wasting so much. The loveless cafe portions are pretty big so unless you eat leftovers, I would pass on going for now.

I work in both Little Rock AR and Radcliff KY and every time I drive back and forth I stop at the Loveless cafe :-) I haven't been since surgery and will avoid it until I can enjoy a bite of a biscuit!

My surgery date was 11/19 I lost 12 pounds post op on my two week liquid diet I've lost 35 pounds since surgery I started at 275 I currently weight 227 I've had a really easy time and there have only been a few days that I've just not felt like eating at all. I don't get all my Water in every day but try as much as possible to get close.
