Just now seeing your post. Congratulations on the weight loss. Hope your surgery and healing are going excellent. Please post after pics following recovery! [emoji4]

Happy Saturday all! Had surgery May 10, 2016 so far so good. I'm anywhere from 1100-1500 calories now and my protein intake is about 60 to 90g/day! What is your daily calorie intake? Daily Protein Goal?

I was able to make it back in the gym today! Mainly, because I was off of work for the July 4th holiday. I was able to jog for about a minute (3x) without feeling like I was about to pass out! I'm down 87 lbs, 16 months post op, 16 lbs from surgeon's goal weight, and 34 lbs away from my goal weight! Lots of energy and very pleased with progress! Happy 4th!!!!

Thanks ALL!!!

Congratulations!!!! Today was my one year!!! I have lost 83 lbs and 17 more to go! You look great! And kudos to you for an hour on the elliptical.

Hi all, I am about 3 weeks shy of my one year mark. I wanted to know what you eating schedule looks like and your daily goals. I consume anywhere from 700-1100 calories per day, I eat about every 2 hours and my protein goal is still about 60-70 calories. I am very close to physicians goal weight. Thanks

Anywhere from 50-80g. Believe my target is still 60.

Hi Pals, I'm eleven months post-op..so happy to finally be in wonderland for the first time in like...never (jk). I'm a little bummed because I have had the longest stall and I'm wondering what I need to do to kick start the weight loss again. I'm about 20 lbs away from the surgeon's goal weight and about 35 lbs away from MY goal weight. The stall has been about 6 weeks. Any ideas are welcome. I still do high protein and I'm very active, still log my daily intake as well! Happy Wednesday!

I love this post! It almost made me cry and exactly what I needed at this moment! Thanks for sharing!

Congratulations!!!

Great progress!!!! Beautiful! Also losing my last 30-35 lbs!

I have noticed since yesterday if I eat, things seems to be hung up (cause minor discomfort) in my chest on their way down. I only notice with foods I have to chew. Meats, bananas, trail mix. I haven't had this type of discomfort since closer to my post-op time last year after surgery. Yogurt, scrambled eggs not so much. Is this common at 10 months post-op and is there something I need to do or just call doctor( which i will contact after I finish typing this)?! Thanks

Greensboro, NC!!!

OMG!!! Congratulations to you both! Amazing Amazing amazing!!!!!

A major milestone for me! Seems to me like it took forever but I am down 74 lbs and FINALLY in the [emoji817]'s!!!

I've Been there! Heal well and yayyy for a better day! [emoji1]

THANKS EVERYONE!!!!!!! So grateful and thankful!!!

Has anyone used them? Want to know if this is legit. I would love if my supplements and Protein shakes are covered, but I'd also like to know what they're NOT advertising if there are any hidden catches to insurance covering my shakes and Vitamins.

I went to Wake Forest- Baptist Medical and my experience was ok/well. I only say ok because I had to stay an extra night due to the nurse not keeping my pain under control. I got sick right after surgery from the pain. So after having surgery on my stomach and puking a few hours later, of course I didn't drink a single sip of anything day of surgery! So I had to stay an extra night. By day two following surgery I was like 75% better! Slept a lot on day one with lots and lots and lots of pain from the surgery and the air in my stomach I was not prepared for! Lol Once my pain was under control I rested well, but meds were needed often because the pain from the air in my chest was unbelievable!!!!!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Mine was required with my insurance. I had to have 2 visits since a student did mine opposed to an actual psychologist or psychiatrist...whichever one. Nonetheless, I was thankful for them as I have seen some ppl who did not have the psych veal as a part of their process and in my opinion weren't as prepared for the journey following surgery.

Following my four weeks post-op appointment I am allowed 8 ounces a day. I utilize 4 ounces a day during the week. If I'm desperately tired and need a boost I'll have another 4 ounces before I leave work, but that's only happened once or twice in the last 7 months. I'm 8 months post-op. Heal well.
