Lolo 2020

He doesn’t require anything except the blood tests . I talked to him in early November and could have done it in 10 days but had to schedule it around Xmas to travel there . Very happy with my sleeve restriction and the whole process

I am stalled as well,12 lbs from goal , 58 lbs down . Sleeved dec 18

Screwballiski I think u have it down. It’s constant diligence and give a little, get a little . I want to lose my last 10 and I am going to have to tighten things up and review every morsel that goes in my mouth ! Not fun but necessary !

I am down 60lbs since 12/18/18, last 12 or so to go and weight loss stalled . Have added in a lot of strength training because I couldn’t even lift my suitcase into the overhead of a plane ! Taking measurements and they are smaller so I am assuming it’s muscle offsetting fat loss , but truthfully with travel I have let a few bad choices sneak in . Assume I have to buckle down and eat perfectly and exercise to get to goal . No shortcut here it seems !

Omg well done ! You’ll be in onederland. In no time !

I was sleeved 12/18 and down 58! Guess we are both on the right track ! 14 more to go to 168

Yes ! Don’t go to Mexico! I researched and found dr Shillingford in boca Raton florida . Did the entire procedure for $10,500. He has great reviews and specifically set up his program for non insured folks who wanted safe but reasonable surgery . I had a great result and am down 60lbs since 12/18

I am on my last 20lb goal - scale has t moved in 2 weeks but I was on vacation and then traveling ! I started today and have recommitted myself to get this 20 off!

I think I lost alot of muscle in the last 30 lbs , my arms are much thinner than they ever have been and so as my calves and thighs . I like to be strong for my riding competitions so now I am going to really try to fet some muscle back , irregardless of the scale . I can’t even lift a 50lb bag of dog food and that just isn’t me !

I’ve had a few sips of a vodka tonic to be sociable , am 3 months out and bubbles don’t work for me . One glass of wine on a beautiful sunny afternoon did go down nicely but that’s it . Not at goal yet so why waste the calories

Yup ur right . I started. Doing some dead lifts with a 30lb barbell and liftesnitnover my head for the last few days and now I can morenor less get my suitcase up ! Am adding upper body every day now and some different core such that I can do life’s tasks . So odd , but then again I haven’t been 180lbs since I graduated from high school and losing 60lbs in 3 months is quick

My biggest concern is that despite working out I have absolutely lost strength . So much so that I can’t lift my roller suitcase into the overhead anymore . That’s really odd since I was always very strong . So working on that - upper body is really lean but like most women I would like thinner legs and hips, think that will just take time and working out . Congrats in any case , u look awesome !!

Wow ! Well done ! I am down about 58lbs, around 15 lbs from goal ...but also super happy with my look and how I Feel so losing 2lbs a week is fine for now

Thanks shoelace ! I work hard on the exercise front, sometimes to the point I just have no energy cuz I don’t get enough food in. I am trying to get my endurance back but what has become clear is that in addition to losing fat I have lost a lot of muscle as well . I’ve lost almost 60lbs ...

Interesting comments above . I am 3 months out and averaging about 10-15 lb loss a month in the last month , but I am am only about 15 lbs from my goal and I was a lower BMI. I can’t do 500-600 a day most days , as I am very active , spin 5x a week and get 10k steps . Seem to be settling at the 800-1000 calories range with 1-2 protein drinks a day and at least one yogurt in order to get protein grams in ... hard to eat enough protein honestly

Congrats !!!

Looks good ! Weights and working out will help with skin sagging I have noticed

There has to be a reason for this low level . U should work with ur nutritionist . Make sure u r getting water ? And doing exercise ? Getting enough protein ? Journaling to keep itself accountable ?

I was a 34 BMI and lost 50lbs in under 3 months . I followed surgeon instructions , kept calories , sugar and carbs low and drank a lot of water and exercised regularly , both walking , weights and spin . Weight came off very quickly

My nut suggested lemon or cucumber water s a diuretic . I drink 64oz of water every single day and finish my day with a half a lemon squeezed into water and generally loose half a pound . I also make sure I get an hour of cardio and weights a day , every day . Sometimes I get a 3 day stall, then drop a pound or 2. It’s pretty steady if I make sure I get my macros and exercise and water in

They can put on a ring guard - not expensive

Omg don’t go back to old habits ! Do the inspire reset plan and go straight back to post surgery eating I should think . Make sure plenty of protein, water and the required exercise

I just don’t have lemons convenient during the day ! Ideally I do one in the am too. But I feel like the diuretic works really wel to flush me out at night while I sleep. I wake up and lose 1/2 -1 lb

I think its a healthy and real fear for anyone who used food and got to the point where they had to do this surgery. I journal every thing i eat every day, feel guilty if i dont’ get formal exercise in, feel guilty if i don’t have enough protein or maybe have a little slip. The reality is that it is a slippery slope and regain is a healthy fear. I embrace it and use it.. but the reality is that no one will permit the regain but you and you took control of your life with the surgery and change it habits. Just agree you will do it every..single.. day. No excuses. That what gets me to the gym and eating the right foods every day. Good luck, you got this!

You should talk to your surgeon and nutritionist. There is just no way you can not lose weigh! Are you eating under 800 calories and 50 g of carbs? Are you getting 60-80 g of protein a day and 64 oz of water? Are you exercising 30 min a day? Are you limiting sugar and not drinking and eating at the same time? Are you eating protein first? I would be amazed if you did all of the above and did not lose. When i am doing the above and perfect i lose at least 3 lbs a week, usually closer to 5
