It's Time

Hey there Positive and 2/9 ers time does fly when you're having fun....major congrats Positive on your success, new job and all of the wonderfulness going on in your life. I'm about 20 pounds away from my personal weight goal and I will say the scale definitely is only inching. I am in that leaning out stage so according to everyone else I look super small but I just haven't met the number I desire. I continue to love this journey and all that it has done for me.

71 pounds is a big deal, congrats....I am 4 pounds away from the under 200 pound mark, well at least I was last Saturday when I weighed, won't weigh again until Saturday coming. Thanks for the link MxKitty I definitely will follow your journey Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi 2/9'ers it's been a while since we've had any activity on here but I wanted to say HAPPY 1 YEAR SURGERVERSARY. I hope that everyone continues to do great and make it to goal. I have lost a total of 139 pounds since this journey began and 120 since the day of surgery. I have 25 pounds until goal and am looking at meeting with plastic surgeons to rid myself of this extra skin. I continue to meet my protein goal but still struggle with water. I workout 6 to 7 days a week and overall feel great. At times I struggle with seeing my progress but I continue to push through. How's everyone doing? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi Clindy, I'm not a bander but wanted to send some encouragement...keep pushing forward and stick with keeping yourself accountable by posting daily, you are great and are doing great Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

How many calories/protein/carbs is everyone taking in? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi TxJP congrats on the loss, I managed not to gain during the Holiday so woohooo but my scale is stuck I think I need to increase my calories and that may do the trick, fingers crossed Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Jfreyman I'm down about 105 since surgery.... that was so difficult to say out loud but it's my truth. This has definitely been a journey and I'm glad that I'm on it. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Jenn sorry to hear about your foot, hope you get better soon. Congrats on the loss, you're doing amazing. Have you tried diurelex? I take 1 just about every day for relief, my scale had been stuck for a bit but finally is moving slightly I still have about 50 to go meh. Seems so far away but I know I will get there. You're picture looks great, keep it up only 26 to go Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Happy 9 months, hope everyone is doing well Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Positive it's good to have someone (or a group) to share this with. We all struggle in some way and with support I think it will get better with time. I definitely understand the body dysmorphia thing and have just decided that it comes with the territory. Congrats on the size 4/6 that's a huge achievement, try not to be so hard on yourself Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Yes, I take one daily...it's the only thing that works and is what my doctor recommended Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi 2/9ers how's everyone? Our group is so quiet these days so today I finally admitted that I think I'm bigger than I really am, anyone else struggling with this. I was shopping and once again I picked up the bigger size, my spouse just laughs. But I also had a non scale victory, I am in a size 12 woohooo now to some this may not be a big deal to some but I have always been very curvy so I had to purchase jeans in a larger size and who would have thunk that a 12 would get over my butt and thighs Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Wait Positive it's only been 8 months Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi Positive, you are right it does not seem like 10 months man has time flown....glad to see that you are doing well...things that I need to work on: omitting my 1 piece of candy a day and exercising consistently. I am about 50 pounds from goal and it's taking forever to get there. The weight is definitely coming off really slow. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
