So glad to see all of you on here. Let's keep this thread going! It's nice to see how everyone is doing!

I have just been suffering for the last 2 days with that dreaded stomach flu. Bright side of it is I've lost 3 lbs in one day! lol. All Fluid I know!

Anyhow I started out At 294 and today I am 203 so I've has a fairly quick drop as I've been so freaking strict with my plan. hair loss has finally stopped and growing back now. Lots of loose skin, but hoping with lots of exercise and Water that should help.

Over all, my experience has been wonderful and I would do it again in a heart beat. I am off all my blood pressure and diabetes meds so I've accomplished my main goal!

Congrats everyone and keep up the good work!!!

I have gotten past my stall. Sw237 cw 187.... not enough Fluid was the main culprit and the meds for the swelling and erosion slow down my digestive tract but back on track ,which makes me feel soo much better.

Sleeved June 10th. Sw 254 cw 177.2. Still learning how to "drive" this new life, but am thankful for it every day. I will be happy when the holidays are all behind and life and eating (and temptations and cravings) are behind for a little while. I told my hubby I want size 10 jeans for Valentine's Day.

Just wanted to see/hear how everyone is doing, it's been a couple of months since there's been any activity on here.

I finally passed the 100# mark -- a big milestone for me psychologically. The next is getting below 200#. Only 0.5 to go! Haven't been at this weight for over 20 years. Working out has been my new favorite thing to do to take care of myself. (I never thought those words would come out of my mouth!)

I still struggle with fluids, seems like every day, make me feel too full, too fast. hair loss has slowed wayyy down. Stalls not effecting me as much -- I know the weight loss will continue as long as I keep doing what I know is best for me.

Would love to hear where everyone else is on their journey.

I it 165lb loss, but I now only weigh in once a month. I was obsessing weighing more. Fluids are still a struggle for me, which leaves me with leg cramps at night. I was a size 30, now a 10.

Love my new life and how I feel. I can play on the ground with my baby boy!

My weight loss has slowed down considerably and haven't really lost much in the last 2 months. Starting weight was 295 cw 204. hair is growing back. I was struggling with Water and protien as well but getting lots in now. Feeling really tired lately so I might call my nutritionist about that. Over all, other than the extra skin I have, I'm still very happy with my decision and my results. Still have 24 lbs to go to get to goal.

I was a low BMI (33) when I started this journey, but I had a lot of comorbidities. I've gone from 200 pounds to 140, where I've seemed to be hovering now for a month. The great news is that my high blood pressure, high cholesterol and sleep apnea are gone! I can definitely eat more now than I could the first six months and I am starting to struggle with food choices. Those damn carbs are still as addictive as before and they certainly don't fill me up like Protein does. The honeymoon is definitely over. But exercise is easy when your knees and lungs don't hurt, so I need to concentrate on burning calories in order to maintain. Drinking Water is also a lot easier these days too!

I'm down 70# and only have 5# to go until I reach goal. I'm working out like crazy but old habits are creeping up that I have to really be mindful of. Water is still a chore, but I'm getting there

      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.
