Hey there,

I've been doing well. Diet is pretty good. I still have some trouble keeping up my Water and Protein intake. I've lost 53 lbs since surgery on 2/22/16 and 63 lbs total. I think I'm on my second stall. First one was my second week and lasted 10 days and I haven't lost anything in about 8 days now. I know it's normal but it drives me batty. I've still got approx 100 lbs that I want to lose.

Wow you are doing fabulous! That's a lot of weight!!!

How is everyone? Motivation keeping up?

Struggling! Last 2 weeks no weight loss and last 5 weeks weight loss slowing down to 1lb a week - snacking too much and eating way too much bad crap. Slowly old habits have crept back in. I never thought I would be struggling this early on and jeopardising everything.

I really need to get back on track ASAP - went shopping today and plan to start tomorrow getting on track. Really hope I can cut out the crap and start eating well again.

I agree- I somehow thought I thought doing such a major thing would change my motivation to permanently eat healthy. But then I remember all the times I was motivated and then slipped into old habits 3 weeks later. I think it is going to be a lifetime struggle

My surgery was 2/22/16. Day of surgery I was 251. Today weighed in at 196! Pretty flipping exciting. I log everything that goes in the pie hole. Helps with accountability. I try to plan everything I will eat the day before. Including Snacks. (Takes away emotional eating) I eat every 4 hours. This is my plan. I'm sticking to it!

Congrats on cracking the 100s! I did myself too in the last week and it felt great! (Surgery 2/2/16, surgery weight 269)

Hi Everyone

It was 1 year ago today June 15th 2015 at 1 P.M. that I went to see the surgeon for a hernia, gallbladder and possible sleeve surgery. I had to use my mobility device as despite having lost 145 pounds on my own I still was not able to walk into his office building. At 352 pounds, he told me I had to see him for the next 6 months as he was putting me on a HPLC supervised diet. After that more than likely I would be able to have the 3 surgeries all at once. On Jan 26th 2016 he performed the 3 surgeries with me weighing 314 pounds. A 38 pounds lost in those 7 1/2 months I had to wait. Since surgery 5 months ago I have lost an additional 60 pounds for a total of 98 pounds in this past year.

I am only able to eat about 3-4 oz of meat and still have the filling of being full before I even get to the vegs. I never knew filling full could be so painful. I am tracking calories around 800 to 900 calories and getting in 60 to 90 Proteins and 41 to 80 carbs and all my Water each day. I am biking 4 to 6 miles 5 days a week and am 5 pounds away from being able to go to a back surgeon to see what they can do to help me to walk again now that I am almost below 250 That was their magical number before they wanted me to get to before they would help me.

I was sitting here but have taken a break from pulling out seams to to cut down and take in my clothing. When I do stand to transfer to a chair my pants are falling off of me and I am stepping all over my pants legs. I can't afford new clothing s am thankful I know how to take in clothing.

Since my highest recorded weight I have lost 243 pounds. My BMI has gone from 80 to 41. I still have 102 pounds to lose but because of the sleeve and all the hard work I am doing I know I will reach my goal. I am waiting until I get below that magical number of 250 to take some more pictures. When I do get there I will be sure to post.

Everyone is doing a fantastic job and I like that we are still posting. I hope to see many more posting over the next year as I just today renewed my Bariatricpal VIP Membership.

My date is January 13, 2017! I have to do all liquids one week prior to surgery. They want me to lose 10 pounds before surgery and have advised me to start basically following Atkins phase 2 to achieve that. So excited to get the process rolling, only two months to go! (I will be doing self-pay in Mexico at the Obesity Control Center with Dr. Ortiz)
