Hi everyone!

[neanea415 4]

My name is Jen and I'm 4 months post operative today. I started at 255lbs, and I'm 5"5. I was wearing a 18/20. I lost 10lbs preoperative diet, and 37lbs lost since surgery( 208.8lbs) I'm in between a size 14/16 now. I would say that I am a slow looser but that's okay.

After getting denied by insurance plan because I had a eating disorder (bulimia) for 15 years, even though I have  been in recovery for 8 years, I went through A Lighter Me in Mexico to get my surgery. I don't regret my decision at all, and I have been very pleased with my results.

My struggles now are getting my daily Protein amounts, chugging enough Water, Hair loss and fatigue.

We are in this together so I hope that we can continue to support and inspire each other in this journey!

Congrats on your success so far. Sounds like you are doing well. Four months out was a real turning point for me where I finally started to feel "normal" or at least had adapted to my new normal. Keep focused on your Protein and Water. It is so so important!

So I am getting a little discouraged. I have basically only lost about 11lbs since November. I know where I am struggling, and that is with my food obsession. I snack a lot. And I don't exercise. Today I am only 203lbs , 51lbs from my highest weight. I need to make serious lifestyle changes and not waste my money and life on this surgery. I see others who had the surgery in my group and they have lost 70-80lbs in the 5 months going on 6 months postoperative.

I feel the same way and I'm going through what you're going through. I am starting an all liquid high Protein diet tomorrow

I am having the same situation happen to me right now as well. I have been stalled at 203 for the past 3 wks and have only lost a total loss of 27lbs since surgery 3 months ago.
I am trying to be consistent with gym taking my Vitamins and drinking more Water. I have also seen a lot of sleevers who followed a kelo diet and am trying that as well.
We can do this. I refuse to let this fail!
