Thank you so much!!! . Lolol!!! I sure do hope so!!!! Thank you so much!!!

Lol!!! Thank you, but it's 262.

Hey guys. I'm 7months post op and down 133lbs since surgery and 91lbs before surgery, for a total of 224lbs gone forever!!!! I'm so excited with my progress, but I still have an extremely long ways to go. My highest weight 519...current weight 295. Well things are going great but I'm being bothered with horrible hunger pains, especially at night. It's like my appetite as risen from the dead. Most days I consume between 800-850 calories. I get between 80-100 grams of protein and over 80oz of water a day. I also work at with a personal trainer 5 days a week. Anybody else have or had this problem?!?

Thank you both for that suggestion. I did speak with my NUT and she did suggest exactly that. Increasing calories to 1000. I'm so terrified of gaining weight by doing this, but I know it's all in my mind. They also scheduled for me to come in tomorrow to review my food dairies. Thank you so much!!!

Hey guys!!! Just checking in to see how you guys are doing on the losers bench and to keep you updated on my progress. So I lost 91lbs before surgery and 116 since surgery for a total of 207lbs lost!!!! I'm so happy and thankful for my new life. I still have an extremely long way to going seeing that my current weight is 312lbs but it sure beats being 519lbs any day!!! Well wishes to all!!! See yah next month!!!

Yes, it is a long road ahead but thankfully not as long as it was before. We can do this!!!! My date was 7/20/2015 and yours?!?

Hey guys. I try to post on a monthly basis just to keep you guys updated on my progress!!! Hopefully it's motivational for someone. Well, today marks exactly 4 months since my life changing surgery. I am down 97lbs since surgery...91lbs prior to surgery for a grand total of 188 down!!! I can not be more happier. I still have an extremely long way to go seeing that my current weight is 331lbs but it sure beats being 519lbs anyday!!!! Well wishes to all!!!

Well today marks 3 months since my life changing surgery. I'm down 77lbs since surgery!!! I'm so excited!!!????????????

Hey there. Thank you so much. The best advice I could give you is keep the protein HIGH AND THE WATER INTAKE EVEN HIGHER!!! You will do great. Please keep me posted!!!

So friends, I'm really starting to believe I'm the first person this surgery is just not going to work for. I'll be 5 weeks post op tomorrow. I was losing great the first 3 weeks and now NOTHING!!!!!!!!! And I mean absolutely NOTHING!!! What am I doing wrong?!? I follow my meal plan, taking in the right amount of protein, trying to up my water intake, I'm exercising 3-4 days a week. I'm getting very depressed, anger,and frustrated!!!!!! Please someone tell me if this is a "stall" how long will this last?!?

It has slowly crept down a little. Lost 4lbs this week!!! I'm just ready for a dramatic drop????

Yes... my last 3 post have been about this so called stall I'm in. Tomorrow will mark 3 weeks I've been at the same weight. It's gotta be something you can do to put your body into go mode again. I will be 5 weeks tomorrow and I keep being told the first 6 months is when you lose the most weight. How is that possible going at the rate I'm going?!? And yes I am following my diet and exercising 3/4 days a week!!!!

Thank you so much for this awesome response!!!

So I'm 4 weeks post op and I think I've hit my first stall. Well I think I have...I really don't know?!? I'm down 40lbs since surgery. I've been following my plan and have not lost a single pound this week. Thankfully, I have not gained any but???????????? has anyone else experienced this so early in your WLJ?!?

Thank you so much for your response. I plan to do exactly as you've said. Congrats on your progress!!!
