I finally made it under 200!! It's been 10 years since I've seen a 1 in the front of my weight. Never thought I would be there again. So thankful I decided to go through the surgery. My HW was 247.4 I lost 10 before surgery which was on 1/31/17. So I am currently down a total of 48lbs!!

My surgery was in Monday 4.17.17. I am currently home recovering. So yeah I went through with it even though as they rolled me into the operating table I was a nervous wreck. But now I think I made the right choice for my health.

@Jodygirl1982 You are doing awesome! I was sleeved 12/12/16. I have hit my big stall too.. I have been bouncing between the same 1-3 pounds for the last few weeks and it is sooooo frustrating. I know its part of the process its just hard when the scale just stops moving.... makes me scared I might stop losing anymore even though I know that is just my mind messing with me. I am only down about 43 pounds since the day of surgery, but down 63 total since I started the pre-op diet 2 weeks before. Just taking it a day at a time and trying to up my water intake and my exercise!

My gastro did an endoscopy on me on Friday. All went well but he did mention he took a few biopsies.... um, of what?? [emoji17] he said he would send the paper work over for surgery and all and also would call me if something "comes back" on the biopsies. Is this normal? Did I have something going on? I was still out of it from the anesthesia to question him. Im not freaking out or anything but it's itching me.

Hey guys! So I'm down 60lb since surgery on February 17 and am looking to go down another 120lbs. Finally implementing more exercise and am getting about 10k steps a day. Anyone out there want to be FitBit buddies to keep motivated!? Good luck to all! :-)

Definitely speak with a nutritionist. You're over a year out. Your bodies needs have changed. Best to seek out experts advice. That said....I think you should really be tracking your intake. A year out calorie intake is really important.

Your protein is really low. I've never heard any plan that calls for less than 60 grams per day. (Although there was a poster yesterday who said her doctor gave her a goal of 30 grams per day. I find that suspect, but that's what she said.) I'd recommend that you begin tracking your food and drink. Without doing that, you really have no idea what you are taking in each day. I'd also recommend making an appointment with your nutritionist so that you can work together to determine how many calories and carbs you should be taking in based upon your current body state. (You didn't give any specifics here, so it is hard to give any advice around calories, etc.) I'd also up your water by 0.5 L or so. Hopefully, these suggestions will be helpful. Good luck!

There is also the radical option of just loving yourself the way you are.

Wow, you look great. I was sleeved 12/9 And I'm only down 50 pounds. I keep hitting stalls [emoji20]
