Wow you look fabulous! This is inspiring! Glad to hear you are happy about your decision! I had

Surgery 3 weeks ago with 246 as my surgery weight. I hope I can do the same. Did you work out alot?

Yes I go to a bootcamp 3 nights a week. It has really helped define my arms.

I slowly shed those last fifteen (to my goal) after one year post op' date=' too, so it's definitely possible! It's much more painfully slow once you have less to lose (or was in my case) but it can happen if you keep working at it.

You look great, congrats on your one year and also on your success in that year!

Yes the weight loss has slowed down significantly at this point. But I'm so close to my goal and I know that eventually I will make it. I am looking into getting a Tummy Tuck in a couple of months also...my stomach is not pretty lol.

Feeling bad. I'm 4 and a half months out and I've lost only about 56 pounds. Several year prior I had the band lost 120 pounds. But four years later I had to take it out because I had hernia. Soon after my weight began creeping up then I got pregnant. 312 post gastric sleeve four plus months I'm down 56 pounds. I feel like unsuccessful and that my weight losd is on a slow progression:(

Don't feel bad you are doing great. My average is less than 10 lbs. a month. Just keep at it and you will eventually get to your goal. 56 pounds in 4 months is really awesome!!

Thanks for the update! I weigh 243lbs. right now. So it is kinda neat to see where you started, is where I am now. I am 5'3" inches tall. This pic was taken at my doctors office. I took my cardigan off to get a true look of what I looked like.

I can't wait to hit 150lbs.!!! Thanks again for your help!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
