Wow amazing just another 20 lbs to go!!! I'm hoping 2020 will be the year I can get rid of my last 40lbs to get to a normal bmi Sent from my SM-G950U1 using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm happy to report that I'm down another lb CW 175.4. I've lost a total of 9 lbs the past 3 weeks getting back on track!!!! I'm happy that I am able to lose at 1200 cals. I'm hoping i won't have to lower my cals as I've seen that many ppl don't lose over 800 cals. I workout a lot and I'm pretty young so maybe I'll get away with 1200.

That's the problem I cant stand it black. And when I skip a coffee I and up with major migraines. I'm considering trying to do a 20 hour fast once a week. Maybe I'll just have to force down some black coffee. Sent from my SM-G950U1 using BariatricPal mobile app

Agree with GradyCat, I wouldn't suggest upping calories just yet. Now would be a perfect time to start going to the gym Sent from my SM-G950U1 using BariatricPal mobile app

I suffer from insomnia so the night before surgery I pretty much didn't sleep, even when I wasn't worried at all about the surgery. Good luck!!! Sent from my SM-G950U1 using BariatricPal mobile app

Sweetener lol my spelling is terrible Sent from my SM-G950U1 using BariatricPal mobile app

Yups I agree. Since joining BP, I've been much more motivated. Sent from my SM-G950U1 using BariatricPal mobile app

It definitely is only a phase. Your body is going through some major changes and your hormones are out of whack. Just give yourself a bit more time and it will get better!! Good Luck Sent from my SM-G950U1 using BariatricPal mobile app

I find that when I have those late night cravings I drink a coffee with sweetner and that usually helps. like @ms.sss said if I still want it after about half hour I'll have some. Sent from my SM-G950U1 using BariatricPal mobile app

Yup forgot to write that. I drink around 80 oz fluids including 50 oz of water with lemon and cayenne (I hate plain water) Sent from my SM-G950U1 using BariatricPal mobile app

I had loads of those PO and they never caused me any problems Sent from my SM-G950U1 using BariatricPal mobile app

28 months PO / 5'2" / CW 176 Sun dec 29 -------------------------------------------------------------------- I really struggled yesterday. But in the end I thankfully stuck my ground. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Breakfast: coffee and milk / mozzarella cheese Lunch: lavish roll with eggs and spinach Snack: pastrami cold cuts Dinner: ground beef with broccoli / dill pickle Snack: coffee with milk / almond flour cookie --------------------------------------------------------------------- Totals- 1403 cals / 110g protein / 40g net carbs / 85g carbs --------------------------------------------------------------------- After all information out there on macronutrients and calories started to really confuse me, I spoke to my dr. Basically bottom line is (what she told me) there is no "one size fits all" when it comes to nutrition. I will be starting a thread to explain more in detail what we discussed.

So how exactly does intermittent fasting work. There is no way I can start the day without my coffee. I tend to skip breakfast a lot, but the coffee I just need my coffee. [emoji2] Sent from my SM-G950U1 using BariatricPal mobile app

I have a crazy fear of cutting out carbs. Last time I completely cut out carbs. I ended up gaining like crazy the minute I ate some carbs. Therefore i added some healthy wholegrain carbs. I still keep my carbs pretty low, averaging under 60g net carbs. All these eating options are driving me insane. I'm so confused what to do. I guess it will take some trial and error to figure out what works for me. I work a 9-5 job (making food prep difficult) I'm also a very picky eater. AND most of all I just love to eat!!

Currently on the treadmill. I'm realizing that I need some new running sneakers. Which ones do you like? I'm not looking to spend a crazy amount. Sent from my SM-G950U1 using BariatricPal mobile app

Which new balance sneakers is good for flat feet I'm so confused by all the names Sent from my SM-G950U1 using BariatricPal mobile app

Don't think it would work for me. I'm constantly hungry, I feel like this would be even harder for me to stick to. I need something I can do long term. Sent from my SM-G950U1 using BariatricPal mobile app

28 months PO/ 5'2" / CW 177 Fri dec 27 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Breakfast: coffee with milk Lunch: flax roll with eggs Snack: salmon with jalapeno Dinner: chicken soup / beef sausage / pastrami cold cuts Snack: healthy habits popsicle / peanut butter --------------------------------------------------------------------- Totals- 1363 cals / 88g protein/ 62g net carbs/ 83g fat --------------------------------------------------------------------- Saturday dec 28 Breakfast: coffee with milk / 2 egg whites Lunch: salmon with jalapeno / coffee with milk Snack: lavish flax roll with peanut butter Dinner: oatmeal pancake / coffee with milk Snack: broccoli soup with mozzarella cheese -------------------------------------------------------------------- Totals- 1274 cals / 80g protein / 71g net carbs / 71g fat --------------------------------------------------------------------- CW as of this morning 176.4. My body is extremely stubborn with losing weight and its really difficult for me to stay on track. I feel deprived and I'm constantly in a bad mood. I wish thier was a way for me to feel like this is my way of life rather than constantly feeling like I cant eat foods that I enjoy because I am "punished" for being fat. It makes it even harder that I'm always surrounded by unhealthy foods and I cant really change that. How can I continue to say no to all these delicious looking and smelling foods without causing myself to feel horrible and upset. I just want to be happy.

That's great news!!! Congrats Sent from my SM-G950U1 using BariatricPal mobile app

Was too hungry to take a pic before! LOLS this honestly tastes so good and definitely does the trick for cravings. .5 cup raw oats, 1 egg, 2 oz low fat plain greek yogurt, .5 teaspoon baking powder. Sweeten and flavor to your liking (cinnamon, sugar free syrup etc.). Blend and make in a pan. Nutrition info: 200 cals, 16g protien, 14g net carbs, 6g fat I will finish the rest after a run on treadmill. Sent from my SM-G950U1 using BariatricPal mobile app
