I'm over 2 years post op and can't tolerate any carbonation at all! The only time I miss it is at the movie theater. I've seen other people drink an entire Dr Pepper in one setting. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I'm in the same boat! 2.5 years post op and between the hurricanes and a traumatic year filled with hospitalizations and an adoption, self care was placed on the back burner and I regained 17lbs. Support at my surgeons office is nonexistent so I came here looking for advice as well. For starters, I restarted my vitamins, am tracking my protein and my water. I feel like that's where my biggest mistakes were made. I'd love to hear some others solutions!

Work was crazy this weekend so I didn't get to post. I wrapped up at 221.6. Still above goal but I did make progress. Moving forward!

P.S. I just added some Parmesan crisps to my Subscribe and Save on Amazon. (Different brand though) Fingers Crossed!!

I started out by buying a bag in each flavor from GNC. At that point in my journey, anything that wasn't liquid and I was able to keep down, I considered a winner! I didn't care for the plain sea salt ones, sour cream and onion was just okay, cheddar and sour cream were pretty good and I really enjoy the BBQ ones. So much so that I just buy those by the case now. They are high protein, low calorie, portable, and digest easily for me. That being said, my husband tolerates them and my kids won't eat them so they're definitely not for everyone. I actually like it that way. It means they're still in the pantry when I'm ready for them which rarely happens in a house with teen boys! ????

I'm definitely going to try those! I currently use Quest Protein Chips. My favorite is the BBQ flavor and I keep a bag in my purse at all times! Very handy to be able to grab a few when I get stuck out running errands or at the kids ball games.

221.6 for 10/19!!

Last week: 228.0 This week: 224.0 Woohoo!!!!

Happy Monday! Last week: 231.2 Today's weight: 228.6 Finally some progress! I'll take it!!!

I'm with y'all! I expected a big initial loss in the first few months before tapering off to a slow but steady weight loss rate of 2-3lbs a week. Instead, I'm averaging 0.5-1lb a week (after my first 2 weeks post op) and IT. IS. SO. FRUSTRATING!!! I was sleeved 8/10. HW 258, SW 247, CW 231. (I'm 5'7) I am trying really hard to stay positive and trust the process. I am working hard on getting in more calories. My nutritionist goal is 1200-1400 calories (I have a high muscle mass for a female) but I'm only averaging about 600 calories a day. I just can't get in enough food. Even a protein shake takes hours to consume. With most real food, I can't take more than maybe 2 bites before I'm stuffed. Any more than that and it comes back up. String cheese has become my go-to snack and I can finish one in about half an hour. I hate the idea that I'm in starvation mode and probably muscle wasting. Any tips for getting extra calories in? I have tried fat bombs and even though I did great with them preop, I can't tolerate them now. :/ I also use diluted Isopure Zero Carb RTD in place of regular water to get in more protein. Aside from those, I eat very clean. Thanks in advance!

Awesome!!!! Shopping at Lululemon is actually a goal of mine. Along with having the body that allows you to wear their pants in public. ???? I can't wait!!!

First timer so I'm not sure how this works but I'm in! CW: 231 Goal: 213

Sexy AND Classy!! These are so tastefully done and you're absolutely stunning. Congratulations! Also, I love your hair!!

I can't speak to her plan but I know my surgery plan included a 5 day liquid Preop diet with no pills and 2 week liquid PostOp with no pills. (Even prescription medications had to be crushed.)

I don't! I just suffered
