My surgery was March 6th. I'm down 32 pounds since then. I've been taken off all of my diabetes meds and cleared of diabetes. Also; my blood pressure med has been cut in half. You and I are doing great. Way to go.

So how do you know your sleep apnea gets better? I just can't wear that mask anymore! But hope I'm ok. I was march 12 and down 32 lbs

. My snoring is minimal my husband said I don't snore at all so far. I am resting good and when I wake up in the morning I'm not tired anymore so for that alone I know my sleep apnea is under control

Great job, I am down 49 lbs from 11 March surgery date. Trying to workout hard so I can speed up as I see quite a slow down lately.

My surgery was done on March 11th, I am coming up on 3 months tomorrow and I have lost over 60 pounds. I am so thankful that I finally got this surgery done. I haven't had any real complications, a few times i have had heartburn or acid issues but that is nothing. I've gone from a size 24 to a size 14.

[SugarTea 15]

That is a wonderful loss in three months. Did you go to Atlanta Baratrics? It is the best thing and I feel like a new human being! Good luck!

Wow, amazing losses!! Great job!! I had surgery march 6, I'm down 48 lbs went from a size 22 to a 14-16. I've hit a huge stall lately though. Hoping to increase my exercise to see if more starts melting off. I'm suppose to be down another 20 more by September to reach the goal weight my dr and I set for sept.

My surgery was March 12th 2014! , I didn't have a stall at all untill nov and I been maintaining I lost 80 lbs since surgery, best thing I ever did, how's everyone doing?

[sweetxpetunia 4]

Sweet4422- the one year mark can be tough! Don't get discouraged though! I am one year out on March 12th and 130 lbs down and if I am really honest I don't get much official exercise, but I stay active, and busy. Make sure you are drinking a lot of liquids- we forget how important irrigation is to the weight loss process, but remember the early days when you were often thirsty and it was a necessity to drink. Up your liquid intake and also, consider lightening your meals- not in portion size but in substance.

Like I actively avoid all sugars, I eat foods that I know are supposed to increase metabolism (bc that was a huge problem for me before) and I eat carbs but I'm picky about it, and to be truthful I never really went back to Pasta or rice or noodles or bread. I will eat sesame breadsticks, or goldfish crackers (which are salty but a treat) or whole grain brown rice- and those are eaten once in a while. I allow for some carbs in my diet, but I prefer healthy carbs like red kidney Beans over my salad that count as a complex carb-meaning they have Protein and carbs giving you twice as much energy.

Lately, and sorry for the over-share, I noticed that I get a huge chocolate/sugar craving. Well I use sugarless Torani syrups and made my own chocolate at home. The other night I wanted to make a crock pot meal and the original recipe called for a packet of onion Soup mix-which is loaded with sodium. Also, beef granules which are again packed with sodium! I decided instead to make a home made salt-free version of the onion Soup package, with just as much flavor, and opted instead for sodium free granule packets- the meal came delicious! I still added salt, but this way I controlled totally the amount of salt in the dish!

I know it's hard, but little stuff^^ like that really helps! I work full time and go to school full time for my masters, I fell into the dangerous pool of takeout one too many times, so on Weekends I cook and make a healthy meal I can nibble on all week-roast chicken, crock pot steaks/stews (these chewier, more sinewy meats are easier for me to consume when they've been sitting in a crock pot all day), roasted vegetables, etc.

Please message me if you have any questions and best of luck on your journey~ !

My anniversary is one year the 11th of March. 65lbs from 256 to 191 being my lowest. Overall I do very well, feel so much better and typically try to exercise regularly. I really pushed my exercise with weights and I have Fibro. Over did it and I get the bad nerve burn so it sets me back a week or two and then I go right back to it. I have gone back to drinking lemon Water in the am warm to flush toxins. Also having a few sugar cravings so trying to find ways to curve my eating, trying diet sugar-free pudding so I won't over indulge. Started eating a little ice cream so had

To STOP!! So easy to fall back so stay focused my friends. Went from a 18-12 and don't want to change except for the better in being healthy and happy because I can participate in outings now. Stay true to yourself.
