I also take 150 a day. I've been steady and consistent for a few months now. (Thank God!)

We made it almost 2 weeks!! Yay us!

I am also hypothyroid. My weight has fluctuated from fat- to a good size, my entire life. I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism in 2010- because I had seen a segment of "The doctors," about thyroid disease, and it prompted me to get tested. I've struggled the past 6 years... Trying to balance my Levothyroxine meds to get my ts4 & tsh to a healthy level, and finally have gotten it to the point where it's almost normal. Having hypothyroidism plays a huge role in the inability to lose weight successfully, if your levels aren't where they should be.

If anything, your hypothyroidism will make them want to give you the surgery more.

Never heard of it. Does it have any Protein? I'd prefer to add a powdered protein to other foods. It has a ton of protein! Google it- it is fortified with B12, too

I'm 12 days post op, and used Miralax. I was desperate for relief

One question.. Did you purée the tuna, or did you leave as is?

I'll check it out, thanks!

I used to think I was 5'6", but turns out I'm 1/4 inch shy... Not the same, I guess.. But I was so mad when I found out lol

Same here! I'm 10 days post op, and I slipped on something in my kitchen yesterday, and now I have this seriously painful stabbing very close to my incision on my right side. Like if I go to stand up from a seated position! Sorry, I'm not sure what it is though. I'm hoping it goes away. I used a hot pack and it didn't help. ☹️

I have great fat clothes too! Idk what I would do with them when I'm finished losing weight.. Idk anyone the same size [emoji18]

All the time! But I have to accept the decision I made.. Just sometimes I forget I had the surgery done, like in the morning, mostly- and I start drinking normally. I get 3 gulps in and have to remind my self to stop. It a work in progress.

I searched the App Store just now and found an app that tells you how obese you are, and tells you "what's normal" for your height. I'm 5'5&3/4" so I put in 5'5".. And got 120-142... My goal weight I had preset was 138.. So I'm right on target!

I did too! Even the tiniest bit just makes a huge difference! I used a pinch of Parmesan

I was soooo addicted to carbs, too! Pasta, potatoes, pasta&potatoes! Everything. I never ate red meat or pasta until 2012, but when I was pregnant, I was always overeating on it all. My weight gain was from pregnancy & post-pregnancy cravings

Will do! Thanks!

You look fantastic!!!!!

I work at a hospital, performing EKGs and transporting cardiac monitored patients, so I was given "FMLA" leave for 4 weeks, so long as I have an easy recovery. I'm 10 days post op.. Not sure I'll need the entire 4 weeks, but I'm not complaining! [emoji4]

I never got to take a real "before" shot.. I have pics, but they're only of my face (hello, social media!) so I guess I won't have a lot of comparison afterward [emoji37]

My goal weight is 138, but idk if that's ideal. I'm 5'5&3/4".. It's easy to lose the weight of you stick to the clear diet and walk a lot. Good luck to you on your surgery!!!

I have officially graduated to puréed foods! Idk when I have ever been this excited lol

If you don't mind me asking, how tall are you? We started at almost the same weight.. My goal is 138, since I'm 5'5" & 3/4.. (Yes the 3/4 counts! Lol) and I'd love to be around 150 in 6 months!!! You did awesome!

Congratulations!! Best of luck to you! I've seen a lot of Dr Miami's work, and he is phenomenal! Great choice!!

My recovery has been okay- the first 2 days at home I was in so much pain, but lately I have been doing mild housework, and have been running errands like going to the bank.. And then I lie down because I start to feel pain again. So I try to get some walking in- but I'll tell you, I'm sick of clear fluids now lol

My starting weight was 238, and I'm at 201.5
