I started my journey in Oct 2015 at 324lbs and as of today I'm 197! I'm happier then I've ever been...I'd like to lose another 25-30lbs but if I don't I'm ok with that!

I'm one year post op as of 2-17-17..... I have been teetering between 201-204 for well over a month.....My Dr said it's my body's metabolism catching up and that it will start coming off again as long as I keep doing what I'm suppose to be doing. I'm just so desperate to see 199 on that scale!! She was very pleased with my progress thus far so that's a good thing [emoji16][emoji106]...Hubby and I are going to check out some gyms tomorrow....it's time to do something other then walking [emoji106]

Anyone else? [emoji12][emoji106]

Hi I'm 14 month PO gastric bypass . About a week ago I started having intense sharp pain in my lower left abdomen and then a couple days later in my upper left abdomen also. It seems to happen after I eat and/or drink and not every time ...The pain can last for up to an hour....CT scan was normal. I have no other symptoms such as fever, vomiting, diarrhea etc. I feel fine other then those occasional sharp pains here and there. Next step is endoscopy but I'm holding off for a bit to see if the miralax and stool softener helps. Just curious if anyone else has had this? Thanks!

Thank you! I'm in no hurry for an endoscopy. I'll see how things go for a few days first....hoping the stool softener does the job [emoji16][emoji106] The pain can be very intense that's for sure!

I'm 14 months post op and my weightloss has slowed tremendously since DECEMBER ....I've lost a total of 9 lbs since then....I still have 40 lbs to go to get to my ideal weight ....I want to at least get to 180.....at 196 ATM [emoji1304][emoji1304]. Not sure what to do to shake it loose...lol

Thanks everyone [emoji16][emoji106]

I am 13 months out ...I try to at least get 75g of protein a day...my calories usually average around 1300...some days a little less some a little more....I don't eat bread and stay away from breaded fried food. My breakfast is always a premier protein shake. I just recently joined a gym about a month ago...I walked quite a bit last summer but didn't do a whole lot this past winter [emoji1304]

Linda Irene.....I haven't seen the no surgery ...is it the pouch reset people talk about? Going back to the basics of the first few weeks of surgery? If so it can't hurt to give it a try! I'm finding the carb monster creeping up on me lately and have to knock him out before I start to gain...I'm 13 months post op and having a hard time dropping weight now [emoji1304]

Thanks for the reply! I did finally break out of the 200's and now teeter between 198-200...I'd still like to lose another 25-30 lbs but it's not looking like that's going to happen [emoji1304] Regardless I'm a much happier person now then I was at 324lbs! [emoji16][emoji106]

I hit Kohls clearance with my % off usually had a 30% off....I got a lot of items that were under $10 each [emoji16][emoji106]

Evil stuff...I had my first dumping experience at nearly one year post op on popcorn....it was going down so well and then ...wham! Vomiting and horrible cramps [emoji51]. Live and learn!

Gastric bypass here.....because of acid reflux, more long term information and I had a lot to lose! My one year Surgiversary is tomorrow! Feeling fabulous and love clothes shopping now [emoji173]️

I'm a year out and have lost 94 lbs since my surgery...I saw my Dr today and she was very pleased with my progress...Everyone loses at different rates....I don't exercise everyday...my bad...and I'm getting in about 1300 calories a day....I hope you find the answer!

I had my one year post op gastric bypass appointment today! My labs were great, my blood pressure was fantastic ( no more meds for that) I've lost 122 lbs and feel fantastic! The only regret I have is that I didn't do it sooner instead of at 48 yrs old! [emoji12][emoji106]

I second the chapstick and biotene [emoji16][emoji106] Everyone is different. I never touched my iPad or phone and I couldn't change into my pjs because I was hooked up to the IV machine until the morning I was released [emoji107]????

Starting weight was 324lbs Surgery weight was 295lbs Current weight is 201lbs Personal goal weight 199 (first major achievement in my mind!) Surgeons goal weight for me is 155 but I don't see that happening since I am almost a year post op and the loss has slowed down tremendously! Surgery day was 2/17/16

Wow! Smokin hot [emoji91]

Congrats!! You look fabulous! [emoji16][emoji106]

Feb. 17th : 295lbs per my scale March 17th: 276lbs April 17th: 261 May 17th: 254 June 17th: 245 July 17th: 233 Aug 17th: 229 Sept 17th: 224 Oct 17th: 217 Nov 17th: 210 Dec 17th: 205 Jan 17th: 204. [emoji107]???? I had gastric bypass on 2/17/16

Good luck!

Yay!!! [emoji16][emoji106]

Wow you are kicking it!! We are surgery day sisters! I had my RNY on 2/17/16 also [emoji3][emoji106] HW:324. SW: 295. CW: 203 I'm obsessed with the scale lately because I'm so desperate to see 199! Congrats on your success!

Hey everyone! I need a little encouragement.....I have not lost a single pound in the last month and I'm getting very discouraged. I'm 11 months post op. Hw: 324. SW:295 CW:205. I was so hoping to be under 200 by my one yr surgiversary which is Feb. 17th. Im so afraid that I'm done losing! My losses haven't been huge by no means but I have been losing at least 5 lbs a month. This has been my longest stall since surgery ...almost 5 weeks [emoji853][emoji107]????

Very frustrating isn't it Redmaxx ?
