    Good morning y’all...just came to thank you all for the support and also to share my progress so far. Almost 9 months pp and down from a size 18/20 to a size 8/10! I am in Brazil because my mother had some serious medical issues and don’t have a scale around but last time I weighed I was 90 lbs down and have 28 more to go to reach my goal. I am beyond happy! Hope you’re all doing great!

    Hi everyone...how are you all doing? I am in Brazil since 04/30 because my mother had a heart attack followed by kidney failure, pneumonia and pulmonary edema ☹️ she was only able to have heart surgery (triple bypass) on 06/25 and is still in the hospital...I’ve been with her in the hospital since I arrived and will stay here until August to help her through recovery...needless to say, I haven’t really paid attention to what I eat and stopped exercising. Still, I managed to lose 16 lbs and am now 83 lbs down with another 35 to go! I started exercising this week and eating better so I can be at my goal weight by the obe year mark! It’s a daunting task but I’ll try my best to get there by 10/30 🤞 Best if luck to you all!

    Good morning everyone I just took my 6-month pics (although I’ll be 6 months on the 30th) and wanted to share my results with you all. I lost a total of 71 lbs and 69” overall. Down from size 20 to 12 and pretty damn happy I had this surgery! I still have 47 lbs to lose and intend on reaching my goal weight by October. Even if I don’t reach my goal I am still happy with my results. Have a great day y’all

    Congrats 🎉🎊🎈 I hit my 5-month mark on the 30th and my hair too is falling out...I went to see a dermatologist and she told me to try a supplement called “Viviscal Professional”. Now it has to be the Professional one. So I was able to find it online for $60 and started taking it...I noticed my hair loss has diminished so it might be worth a try for you. She also said that if the Viviscal didn’t work, to try Minoxidil shampoo. Hope it helps.

    I’ll be 5 months postop on 03/30 and am pretty happy with my results. So far I’ve lost 57 pounds and went down from size 20 to 14! I am closer and closer to onederland and have been doing great with nutrition and exercise. I do HIIT workouts 6 times a week and have been eating 800-1100 calories, getting in protein and water. Both my surgeon and nutritionist are beyond happy with my results and as they said “I’m doing great, don’t change a thing” I hope you are all happy and doing well too!

    I was getting 700-800 a month ago and hit a 3-week stall. I started a Beachbody program by trainer Shaun T and had to increase my intake to keep energy up for workouts. Is 6 days a week of high intensity 30-min workouts plus yoga on Sundays. I've lost 4 lbs last week consuming 1100-1200 calories. My NUT said not to go over 1450 though, I've been following that and losing...I get a little anxious with the amount of calories although everything is pretty lean and high protein.

    I’m a little curious as to how many calories are you guys consuming daily. I’m staying between 900-1300 and found that if I have less than 900 I hit stalls! I am thinking is because of the high intensity workouts I ak doing now and need more calories to burn more? 🤷‍♀️

    I’m 3.5 months postop and down 50 lbs and down from a sz 20 to a 14! I still have a long way to go but am pretty happy with my progress so far! This is the year I get my life back on track.

    I haven’t had any hair loss yet but I’ve been taking biotin and collagen since first week after surgery to prevent that and flabby skin...I think that’s why I haven’t had any issues yet. I have a friend who’s a couple years postop and she said hear hair is still growing back so she keeps it very short and we don’t see any bald spots...it’s different for everyone I guess.

    Good morning all! Just took some progress pics to compare to the ones I took prior surgery. 3.5 months in. Down from size 20 to 14. Down almost 50 pounds. Let’s do this 💪🙌

    I know it's impossible not to worry or compare your journey to someone else's but, I honestly think we are all doing great! I mean, when would you imagine losing over 35 pounds in 3 months? I am on the slower end also (3 months today and 38 pounds down since surgery) and I am damn happy with it! I find that not weighing yourself often and also not to worry about the weight is a big helper. My surgeon was pretty happy with my results and even told me that he believes, at this rate I can get down to 165, although my goal is 150 I am pretty excited about realistically getting close to that...I also prefer to lose slowly to avoid losing too much muscle mass rater than fat...so I am completely OK with my journey and not stressing about it at all! I know you heard this countless times, but it will come off.
