I doubt its real fat. If you're working out as hard as you say, is probably muscle. Take your measurements. Next time it goes up a few pounds or stays the same check your measurements. Muscle weighs more Than fat. Im sure those pounds will come off. Sent from my SM-G925T using the BariatricPal App

I had plain tuna salad for Breakfast today. I was thinking of cucumbers. I might have to try that for next time. You ever read those sample meal plans your NUT gives you at your appointments? I need those samples to be my life lol. Im so boring with my meals. I can cook i just hate doing it now. It's such a chore trying to figure out things to eat. I'd rather just have a Protein shake. But i ran out and don't want to buy anymore if i can get what i need from real food. Sent from my SM-G925T using the BariatricPal App

Ah!! Awesome! Lol. Im a weirdo. Oh and i just found out i lost another 5 lbs! Woot! Sent from my SM-G925T using the BariatricPal App You go girl! Thats awesome! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using the BariatricPal App Thanks! Im actually down a couple of pounds from that. Kept slipping up in my eating so we'll see what's the verdict when i get to my 3 month post op today Sent from my SM-G925T using the BariatricPal App I feel ya. I've had a few slip ups myself which have caused some stalls. Im sure your doc will feel proud of your progress though. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using the BariatricPal App Thanks! And yes my surgeon was very pleased with my current loss and feels that i should be good at another 30 to 40lbs lost. I was really surprised and thought he'd want me to lose more since I'm short but im ok with that. My goal weight for right now is 145. I've never been under 192 as anything other than a child lol, so i can't imagine being that low. We'll see what happens. Weighed in yesterday at 202.6lbs. So close to onederland i can almost taste it. How goes things on your end? ???? Sent from my SM-G925T using the BariatricPal App

Blizair09 how long do you wait between eating and drinking? By the time i realized i need to drink several hours have passed. And by the end of the day I've eaten like twice. Also how early do you start getting everything in? Sent from my SM-G925T using the BariatricPal App

I thought i would have a grazing problem but i can't even get half that amount of calories in. I feel like if i can eat 800 to 1000 calories a day id lose quicker but it's hard. Im 3 months out and get barely 600 calories a day if im lucky. What can i do? What do you guys do? I need simple meal ideas. Does anyone meal prep and cook for their family?

That's awesome @@Doshea5! My scale doesn't measure body fat. I've always been curious and skeptical of how accurate it is. But that's am awesome idea to help get you out of a funk. Sent from my SM-G925T using the BariatricPal App

These sound awesome. Im on the look out for some simple meal ideas. Still adjusting to eating tuna without bread or crackers. Sent from my SM-G925T using the BariatricPal App

Im so ready for this. I have wide feet and they hate shoes. It's like a kid spitting out veggies. Not much really agrees with my feet. So I'm hoping to lose some weight in them and go down a size or something or to atleast not be wide width anymore Sent from my SM-G925T using the BariatricPal App

No problem honey! Rant all day if you will, cause this is what this post is for me. Like they'll offer me food knowing damn well I can't eat that. They need to get they life, cause I got mine. I don't understand why people disagree with what you're doing, but then in reality they're doing and wanting the same thing just differently. Sent from my SM-G925T using the BariatricPal App Omg right?! She keeps trying to tell me how i should lose weight. I think she's trying to live vicariously through me because she was in the process of getting lap bad years ago but pulled out. She says it's because her husband didn't want her to at the last minute but i think she just got scared. So she and our oldest sister have been trying to push me into this surgery for years. I wasnt ready then, i felt like it wouldn't have been entirely my decision. I wish I'd have done it back then but im glad i waited. I feel more mentally prepared now than before.

I have an older sister who lives a few blocks from me. I visited her yesterday and it always frustrates me how unrealistic she is. I told her i weighed in at 205 yesterday at my post op appointment. Im so close to being out of the 2s. She asks me why don't i go back to liquids because i don't seem to be losing fast enough or something along those lines. Then she started going in about how all these people on her job are into intermittent fasting right now and if i thought of doing that. I told her this isn't a "diet". Yeah i have to be careful about what i eat but i changed the size of my stomach to get away from fad and crash diets. Im finally starting to get a healthier mindset around food and she just keeps dragging me into the deep end. I have a long history of eating disorders. It's very easy for me to rationalize not eating for long stretches and to feel guilty for eating anything. Im slowly turning that around. My family has a very unhealthy relationship with food. And it just irks me when i see her and she wants to talk weight and try to give me tips. She always seems disappointed with my rate of loss but she is still just as big as she's always been. I have been trying to tell her for years that crash dieting doesn't work long term but i don't think it's clicked. She knows she needs to get her act together but things just can't seem to click for her. Im just going to do what I've been doing. I can't let her negativity effect my life and health. She can see-saw in weight all she wants but im tired of it. I need to get healthy mentally and physically and i have to find the best path for me. She'll get it one day i hope. Sorry this was so long but it's been irritating me for a while. Sent from my SM-G925T using the BariatricPal App

Every time i see my sisters they have a reaction to the way i look. I've lost 43lbs since surgery and over 60 overall. I don't feel different or feel like i look much different, but they can't seem to stop going on about it. It's weird, I'm not good with attention. I don't have a regular job. I babysit for my sister in law. Im kind of glad because if i had a regular job i wouldn't know how to do deal with any attention. Oh but to answer your question it didn't take long before the people closest to me noticed. Maybe a month lol Sent from my SM-G925T using the BariatricPal App

How much are you drinking over a period of time. I found i had to cut down my shakes from 8oz to 4 for a while until i could get it all in and have room for more liquid. I wasn't meeting or close to my Protein goals until i was eating real food. It's hard. I prioritized liquid over protein for a while until i could get close to my liquid goals because i was getting really dehydrated and sick. I realized i would have an 8 to 12 oz shake and take over 2 hours to finish it and would forget to have Water. Would be so wiped out i would sleep most of the day and forget to drink. I realized i had to do something when i had several episodes in one week of almost passing out in various places. One being on the train in the subway. That scared me enough to get my act together and make it a mission to get my water in. It's hard but better than being on an I.V. drip. Sent from my SM-G925T using the BariatricPal App

It's been years since I've used the site on my comp. Just started using the app like 2 weeks ago and that hasn't been A problem. Sounds really annoying. A baratric option would be great. I find myself wishing for one on mfp and spark people. Sent from my SM-G925T using the BariatricPal App

I was the same way after 3 weeks. I got dizzy really easy and would be close to passing out. I was really weak and could barely leave the house. It was REALLY hard getting fluids in let alone Protein but it got better. I just had to really buckle down and make sure i was holding a bottle of Water at all times. Just make sure your resting a lot. Your body has been through a lot. You lost a lot of blood. Just make sure your resting and sipping that's all that matters. Try really small sips through the day. Hope this helps Sent from my SM-G925T using the BariatricPal App

What do you mean it won't let you finish your day? I use the app and have not encountered this? I dont think i understand Sent from my SM-G925T using the BariatricPal App

Its been stressed to me to never eat and drink at the same time. But every teams approach is different. Maybe a sip here and there if it's something dry but i really don't make a habit of it. It's uncomfortable and i noticed times when i could do it without issue i didn't stay full as long. Which doesn't sit well with me because thinking up meals and preparing things has become a chore. So the less food i have to think about eating the better lol. Sent from my SM-G925T using the BariatricPal App

I go long periods without eating too sometimes. I have a long history of disordered eating so I'm working on it. Try to make the next thing you eat Protein rich. When i go long periods without food i feel sick. Just like before surgery so i try to keep handy protein Snacks so im not caught out there feeling crazy because I forgot to eat. It happens. This is a new way of life. Just try not to make it a habit. Believe me it won't feel good after a while. ???????? Sent from my SM-G925T using the BariatricPal App

I'm sorry that happened to you. I had something like that happen to me at Target when I was near my heaviest (540). The girl who worked at Starbucks called out to the security guard who was 15 feet away from her "I didn't know you had a girlfriend" and he was like "what are you talking about" and she just pointed at me while I walked out. I was devastated. I didn't want to go back to that store for a long time. I did call the manager though.That's awful that you guys had to hear those things. This is why i always wear headphones when i can. I got fed up of hearing guys and people snicker behind me. Made me paranoid i was being laughed at. When i wear my headphones i don't think about it. Just get lost in my music. Sent from my SM-G925T using the BariatricPal App

I didn't realize until today that i eat past satisfied more often than i like. Part of it is that i can't seem to stop. Pre op i was used to eating until I'm stuffed. So stopping when "satisfied" is still difficult. Not only mentally but its hard to judge sometimes. My stomach does so many things. And i usually don't know its too much until i take that last bite. Then I'm miserable for the next 20 to 30 minutes. And sometimes it's hard to leave food on my plate. I just want to keep going even tho i know its not going to end well and that's scary and dangerous. I didn't realize this about myself until now and its just one more thing to overcome in my journey to a healthier thinner me. Just going to have to take the good with the bad.

Congrats! That's an awesome nsv. I hate flying for those reasons. Can't wait till i can get on a plane and not need an extender and be able to properly use the tray table.

I can't imagine how much of a mind fuck that must be. I can't even reconcile in myself that I've lost over 60lbs. I can't imagine what it must feel like to go from wanting to lose weight so bad to being scared of losing any more weight in such a short time. Have you tried upping your carbs?
