Thank you @Jenn1... I love turkey Jerky and just didn't even think about it... so glad you posted it... where can one find Quest chips?

Beautiful and so encouraging ????

For encouragement purposes to those like myself, Let's all remember that different people will lose at different rates due to their starting weight..... I'm simply putting that out there for newbies who are on this forum like myself and get somewhat discouraged because I only lost 24 lbs in one month and someone else may have lost 45 lbs in a month. But, my BMi on my day of surgery was 34 with a weight of 219 lbs and that other persons BMI may have been 48 with a weight of 315 or whatever ( made up numbers people just using this as an example). So, naturally they have more body fat to lose and it's gonna come off quicker. So, moral to this story don't be discouraged if you are not comparable to some of these amazing weight losses, look at their stats. I would come on here daily my first week post op n be like dang, how did she lose 18 lbs in one week. I only lost 9 lbs. But if I were never sleeved, I would never have lost 9 lbs in a week. Be proud of your results . That is what I had to learn to do. Post pics of your journey so that you can see your progress on a pic... it makes a big difference. As long as you are losing pounds and/ or inches , you are rocking it.

Wow, you are really kicking butt. Congratulations ????????

I lost 24 lbs first month... 5'6, starting weight 242 lbs ... surgery day weight 219 lbs... current weight 191.2 lbs . It has been a journey however. Hoping to lose my lady 42 lbs by march or April

I agree about carbs... I bought an elliptical and increased my water intake and I am back to losing as well . I was in quite the lull... it was making me mad but I said I needed to change up as well and I did... but I will say even during that stall inches were still dropping like crazy ????

Hi redgurl37... my date was dec 5th as well. How have you been doing ?

Aww that makes me feel worse???????????????? but okay. Thanks for the encouragement. The 7th so far I've lost 38 pounds which was surprising but don't worry to much you will deff drop the weight sooner than later Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

Eat a 1/4 inch of a square for me ????????????????

Are you 4 weeks out? I just had my one month anniversary. I lost 24 lbs .. so I did okay. Some people lose like 40 lbs in a month but I'm trying to stay positive and work on focusing on my success. What was your surgery date?

Hi golden Barbie... that sounds so good ... especially with the Fairlife skim milk I have been drinking. But for me I just can't . One PB & J will lead to another one and I have lost the taste for bread but if I bite into that delicious bunny bread with grape jelly and pb.... I'm gonna be like a crack head hitting the pipe, lol. But sounds so good.

Cheers to you.... you look great. Congratulations ????

Thank you girl ????????????

Okay , first pic is when I came home from the hospital and the second pic is on my one month surgiversary ( 24 lbs down). My scars have healed tremendously thank God and my belly is just doing a Chris Angel act, lol. So blessed and so happy.

I'm one month post op so not sure about hair loss due to I don't currently have any . But I have been using bio oil and if you look up my post about my belly, you will see my scars are fading really well. Bio oil is costly but it works.

Aww ,,,,, I'm blushing . Thank you. Even though I'm in my bonnet and no make up in those pics... check out my other posts where I look half way decent but thanks so much , lol

Thanks sleeve buddy !!! Thank you ???? Thank you ????

Thanks malin.... ROOOOOOLLLLLL TIIIIIDDDDDEEEE JAN 9 against Clemson baby... another one we bringing home to Alabama!!!!

Yay surgery twin!!!! We are kicking buttt . Thank you and congrats to you as well Congrats! That was my 1 month anniversary too..down 20 lbs from surgery date..happy belated b'day.. Sent from my SM-N910T using the BariatricPal App

Thank you so much. Give it some time. My starting weight was 242 lbs in July and to date I have lost 47 lbs so this wasn't an overnight thing. So please don't think I'm one of those that posts 100 lbs gone on 2 weeks????????????. Not true here. This has been a challenge this entire month and I have already had the dreadful 3 week stall but I kept pushing through and will keep doing so until I reach goal. I encourage you to do the same and we will both get there. Success is within reach... I can taste it.

Thank you. I'm trying to keep taking pics in same pants to feel the difference, lol. Please don't pic, no pun intended, at my Christmas tights , ????????. You all can't see it but my tights have actually become loose on me, small victory.

Thanks Dub and it does feel quite nice. Can't wait for 6 months out.

Yaayyy... thank you and I hope so???? Thank you so much ???? Thank you ???? Thank you ???? Thank you ????

Thank you sweetie!
