For everyone that is concerned about being a slow loser, don't give up hope! If you have slipped up and are struggling just keep trying to do better. I thought it would take the full 2 years to get 100 pounds off, but I think I might reach my goal by 8-10 months post op.

My weight loss in the beginning was so slow. Like, it took months to lose the first 30 pounds. I stuck through it and have been trying to stay in Keto as much as possible. Yes, I'm human, I've made mistakes but I recovered quickly. This last couple of weeks the weight loss has really kicked in! I'm losing so fast, it's like my body finally woke up. I've already lost 19 pounds this month, 19 pounds!! I can't believe this is me now.

Just hang in there! If I can do it with PCOS, Lupus, and hypothyroidism you can do it!! Don't give up no matter how slow it is coming off.

PS. I would post pics but I don't trust people. [emoji13]

Thats Awesome to hear. I am a slow loser, well at least I feel I am. It seems like I stall every 2 weeks for lile 3 weeks, lol. I am down 21 lbs. and am about 6 weeks out. Seems good, but I lost 13 lbs. in the first about 8 or 9 days. I am not letting it get to me though, I keep pushing.

Oh I thought I would never get under 200! That scale tormented me, 203, 201.6, 202.4!! It was toying with my emotions!!

I workout 5 days a week on a TotalGym that I bought! It gives me a good cardio workout with strength training. I keep my feet in the air while I do it and it works my abs at the same time, REALLY works my abs. I've been working out for weeks now but only recently have I seen some real results like a smaller waist and less fat on my back/bra area. I started at a 22 and I'm down to a 12. I've still got a long ways to go but I'm starting to finally feel different which is great.

Yes, I thinl I need to try stepping up the workouts. I do get about 12k to 15k steps in daily at work, but for now thats about the extent of it. After working all day, coming home to get dimmer cooked for the fam, then cleaning up I can honestly say I am beat most days. Maybe ill get some extra wind soon :)

Oh I completely understand!! I'm the same way that's why I love this workout, it's just 15 min. I might have to increase soon if I stop losing but for now it's going well.

12-15,000 steps is amazing!! I don't get more than 5,000 with a desk job.

I am on my feet for a good 4 hours at work, so I really have to push and keep walking. I definitely have my lazy days and habe to kick myself to get moving. I have a customer at work who had bypass 2 years ago, he lost about 80 lbs initially and has gained most of it back already. Every time I want to kust sit at the desk I think of him. He came in yesterday and asked how much Ive lost and when I told him about 20, he said thats not good!!! I was in awe, like are you serious dude, you cant even tell you ever had wls!!!

      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.
