smallbird 168 Posted July 31, 2013 Hi guys, I had my surgery 12-14 I am almost 8 months out and am down from 260 to 173. I'm happy with having a 87 pound loss! My goal weight is 140 just 33 to go hope I can make it!! I just started working out I have been doing Jillian micheals 30 day shred and I already see a. Huge difference In my stamina 5 push-ups now 15 My arm skin is tightening and I bought my firs pair of pants and tank top from forever 21 I feel like a women! Lol My BMI went from 43 to 28 no longer morbidly obese or obese ..overweight will turn into healthy soon! The only thing I don't like is my show size went from 10 to 9 1/2 and I hope it goes down even more because no one sells 9 1/2 size shoes anyone else losing their shoe size? Keep it up my Dec sleeve sisters as brothers! 1 UndercoverBariatricGal reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

UndercoverBariatricGal 167 Posted August 1, 2013 I just wanted to say I'm stuck again scale won't move everyone I know says I lost enough weight but I want to take off another 10 pounds for my own comfort. Anyway all my weight loss is post op I never was given a pre op diet.. I ate full food up until the day before surgery. I was 258 before surgery and am now 165 I want to be 155 I am 5'6 and have never been this small in all my life but I still feel fat I know some people cant understand it but I do at times I see the changes in pictures but when I look down and sometimes when I walk past the mirror I see the old me I wonder if my mind will ever catch up to what I really am.

dgoerlitz 96 Posted August 1, 2013 My surgery was 12/10/12. As of this morning I am down 87 lbs! Not as fast as some, but not as slow as others, and hopeful that I will hit Onederland sometime in the next 2-3 weeks. I have been stuck for the past month and FINALLY last week broke the stall! I too have lost 1/2 - 1 whole shoe size, depending on the shoes. My hubby isn't thrilled of course, but it is what it is. I also got rid of ALL my old clothes - 15 garbage bags! Gave them to friends who will in turn share what they don't want with a local women's shelter, so I'm feeling even better about all of the wasted money on clothes over the years. I've walked two 5Ks this summer and have two more on my calendar. I've done a little bit of hiking, bought a bicycle, and have been doing Water aerobics religiously for three nights/week. The highlight of my summer will be on Labor Day, when I go up to the Mackinac Bridge and do the annual 5 mile walk across the bridge. I am super excited for that! We drove across the bridge last Labor Day, and knowing already when our surgeries were scheduled, I made a vow to walk the bridge this year. Can't wait!!! 3 ofeliamarin29, MichiganChic and UndercoverBariatricGal reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Smokey12 71 Posted August 2, 2013 Thought I'd share something my nutritionist recommended this morning. Kay's Natural Foods online. They have snack products in individual packets. Good alternative Protein Snacks. I just ordered some, and I'll let you know how they taste. according to the website, some Walgreens carry them in the diabetic section. 1 MichiganChic reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KaseyLynn7 35 Posted August 4, 2013 So, i have been guilty of falling back into old habits and my weight loss has been on hold for 3 months! I was looking at everyone's progress and i thought OMG what the heck am i doing????? Well, yesterday i went back to basics and just in that one day i lost 3 lbs !!!! This is a tool and even after going astray for 3 MONTHS it still works. I know there are hers out there that are or have been in this predicament but, you do not have to be. It is never too late to get back. If i lose 9 lbs. a month i will be at goal by December (1 year surgiversary). THAT is soooooo do-able Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShrinkyDinkMe22 376 Posted August 4, 2013 i'm starting to feel like i am done losing and i still have 74lbs to go to goal. i started at 332, dos i was 300, today i am 238. the last few months i have been traveling a lot for work and its starting to take a toll on my weight loss. its hard to stay on track. especially when i sit in the hotel on the weekends. we are in a bad area and have a rental car or 4 people to share. i go to the gym but i am just not motivated to do anything and i talk myself out of a good workout. my weight loss is SLOW. the middle of may i was 244, today i am 238, almost 3 months later. i have let carbs slip back in a bit. i just don't feel like that is the problem with how little we can eat. but maybe it is. i just feel like i am done losing and it freaks me out. i do get all my Water in and my Protein. just feeling really blah and i miss my family. i dont know what to do to reset? go back to basics? do a 2 week liquid diet again? any thoughts or suggestions would be great.

I travel a lot for work too, I take Protein Bars with me. That helps. I stop at gas stations or walgreens to grab bottles of water so I don't get dehydrated. I must admit though, it is tough being on the road. Good luck to you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
