my progress so far

11/22-------->331

Wow I'm far from that schedule....makes it kinda depressing now...I thought I was doing fairly decent [emoji31][emoji31][emoji31][emoji31]

just curious whats wrong with eating a protein bar mid afternoon if there is a long time between meals?

i get it but using the word complaining is negative and we should be building each other up. i appreciate what you are saying.

i fell into that category of "complaining" as u call it. but in reality I was being doubtful that I wasnt doing something correct or wondering what the normal is. Im not an expert at this type of surgery and everyone is different. I more so am trying to figure out "MY" normal. so I have come on various threads here "complaining" that my weight loss is slow in the beginning and some seasoned "losers" have given me pretty good advice. Im a little over 3 months post op vsg and 75# down and Im not freaking out anymore when I have a stall for 2-3 weeks. I dont use my scale as Gospel anymore but a guide. I look at all the NSVs and feel good about myself. This is a learning process both mentally and physically.

you look amazing !!!!!

10/31 Down 75# since 8/9/17

11/15/2017 ------> 332#

I am a little over 3 months post op and I too was struggling to eat...my dr told me to take omeprozole for too much acid...

Sorry mcg*

I've been taking 10000 iu the dissolvable ones from Walmart

Just try something doable go for 2# a week but don't get hung up on a number..u may lose inches and not pounds...u may supersede ur goal and that's a bonus [emoji2]

Goal Weight: 310 Current Weight: 334 Today's Date: 11/9/2017

sorry computer froze so it responded 3 times

mine felt like the flu every time i ate. bodyaches nausea pain under my rib cage going to the back and radiating up. for months i went to the er and they kept saying viral infection, flu, stress. changed hospitals and the dr actually listened instead of reciting me out of a textbook. sent me for an ultrasound and turned out his hunch was right i had 100-200 stones. i waitressed at that time so basically a greasy diet....thankfully he listened to me.

I was an uncontrolled diabetic and was taking 2 insulins an oral and victoza...also blood pressure meds...I was off most meds prior to surgery and after I am completely off. And so thankful.i had the sleeve surgery.my a1c last year was 10 now it's under 6

My surgery was 8/9/17. I'm down 73# ...been exercising since surgery....not everyday and nothing drastic..walking, riding the stationary bike or just doing a little extra effort with everyday chores. Eating has been a little difficult but I'm starting to figure things out little by little.

I would like to [emoji4]
