Weight loss has basically stopped. I’d like to get to 150 but totally thrilled where I am. Wondering if this is the end of the losing since it’s been about 6 weeks.

Awesome!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I understand. I keep reminding myself it is a marathon not a sprint!

How is everyone doing? Checking in.....

Fantastic!!

How is everyone doing? Sadly, my hunger has come back much quicker than expected as have my cravings for carbs and I am HUNGRY! I simply make sure I have protein close by or veggies or fruit. It is difficult some days. I had my yearly physical yesterday and my primary care said she was concerned I was loosing to much weight too fast. Just curious what everyone else is experiencing. I do find I am following exactly what my dr and dietician recommended.

Deeply sorry for your loss!! Prayers for you!

My surgeon recommended Flintstones Complete. Had surgery on March 1, 2021 and so far no issues. I was also told no gummies.

Many years ago, I lost 50+ lbs and had lots of extra skin. I took my husband to the drs consult so he could hear the benefits. The biggest benefit besides not having skin on top of skin was I wanted to feel better about my body. Sometimes we aren't selfish (not a bad word) for ourselves. I was so busy taking care of others, I wasn't focusing on me. I made a list of pros and cons and then had a very adult conversation with those that mattered as to the why. I had full support after doing this process. Interestingly enough, one of our closest friends followed me as well in having surgery and we became each others support buddy. Ask the dr if he has anyone considering similar surgery from WLS and give your information to him/her to give to the person. Also, ask on her for a support buddy. This site is great for assistance. Once I am 18 months out, I will be looking at plastic surgery again.

I am almost 11 weeks out. I do find when I don't take my vitamins as I should, I am sluggish. I now set a phone alarm to remind me. Very helpful reminder.

Woooo Hooooo!!!!

Wow! Fantastic!! ❤️❤️❤️

Congrats on the blood pressure medicine cutting! I was able to do the same. I have found several bits of food throughout the day helps. One thing I found was the quest protein chips. They help with hunger and allow me to feel like I am "eating" with the chewing. I had similar with pills. I did get a pill cutter which helped with swallowing pills. Just some ideas. The weight you have loss is awesome!!!

I haven't regretted the surgery over all. I have struggled at times with acid reflux and spent a few nights sleeping in the recliner. I have also struggled when I really liked the taste of a certain food but could not eat more than a few bites. My only true regret is not having the surgery sooner. As for restrictive food, I am only 8 weeks out but have already had a small amount of ground beef with cheese at a Mexican restaurant so I am not sure why it would be restricted. I don't have any desire for anytime of coke products or beer both of which I loved when I was not focused on being healthy AND I can't wait to try the Quest Peanut Butter Cups!!

Checking in on a Friday night! How is everyone doing? I am almost 2 months since my surgery was March 1st. I am eating a little more but still very restricted as far as amount of intake at one time. I have found Quest chips crave my need to "having a crunching sound" when eating. Weight from surgery date is 34 lbs and 54 lbs all together. I have way more energy and each week seems to be better. The hardest part has been the acid reflux and constipation. TMI. If I could figure out those 2 issues, all would be really good! Would love to hear how the rest of you are doing!!
