Unfortunately I am still at 12 lbs to go...but I'm physically changing, so I must be at a plateau...I've still got time :(

Physically changing...that reminds me. I've noticed that since I'm working out 5 days a week, my legs are really taking shape...FINALLY!!! However, I've noticed that my legs will be smooth and muscular then all of a sudden a bulging blob of fat sticks out!!! Seriously, my legs look freaky. They used to be all fat and jiggly, :( but know there is muscle with actual bulges of fat in random places!! Does anyone else have that...and more importantly, will it go away?

You guys are too funny! But, it's true. I swear some mornings I wake up and my belly is in a different shape from when I went to sleep! Our bodies adjust in leaps and bounds some weeks and I, too, end up with lumps and bumps out of the blue. So far...things seem to even themselves out after awhile. I'd say it's probably a good sign and means your body is readjusting to the new you!

I'm sorry everyone, I was trying to keep up and make sure the list was updated but I've gotten behind. So, I went back through the last 5 updates and tried to make sure the totals are accurate. Please take a look and make sure your's doesn't need adjusted. Sorry!!

Do you all realize how close we're getting to those goals?!! It's incredible! We're unstoppable!

As far as our next goal...I'm wondering who would be up for a Valentine's goal once our Christmas challenge ends? Anyone interested or have another idea?

OK no news to report :grouphug:

I am struggling with eating the wrong things and drinking too soon after meals. Only been waiting about 30 min instead of an hour. But seriously my body is still changing. My belly is shaped diffreent from week to week and it feels like it is getting denser as it gets smaller. I figure this is partially a plateau in combination with needing a fill. I can eat way too much again and can eat fairly fast. I haven't pb'd in months, only had 3 total ever. While this is a good thing, it is for lack of restriction not for being good about choices and bite sizes and all that. I hate to say it but I need a fill bad. The only time I can't gulp Water is first thing in the morning. When I eat I feel restriction initially but then it goes away really fast. Time to make an appointment :huggie: If I don't I will never get through the holidays and meet my goal. I have a little more than 4 weeks to reach it :)

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
