I had surgery exactly one week ago and have lost 10 lbs. This is definitely the fastest I have ever or will ever lose weight. LOL It slows down from here big time. The first week after surgery should be called the Golden Week. Haha.

I am in the pre-op stage. Anyone over age 60?

Congratulations, I’m have an RNY on the 9th April!

How many calories and protein are you guys taking in and successfully losing steady ? I was taking in a ton of protein between 120-150 and around 1200 calories and my Dr said that's too much protein and not enough calories... I lift and workout 5 days a week but have been at a stall for awhile. HW-280 SW-250 CW-220 GW-180.. I use the Myfitnesspal religiously. I just got to find what numbers helps me lose the best.

Wow! What an incredible motivational speaker!!! Thanks for turnin' me onto him!!! I bet many of us can identify with many parts of his narrative!!

Frust8 my height weight was 360 I was a size 28W now I’m 220 and a size 14 I am 5’8’’ My goal was a size 16 but I now have a new goal. I want to hit onederland. I have worked my butt off and don’t you guys ever let anyone tell you that you took the easy way out this is way harder Both mentally and physically! I’m so happy for you guys! Your about to get your lives back! I didn’t realize till after surgery that I had but the pause button and was just watching my life instead of living it.

I'm so happy to say I'm over it. All these years of you weighing me down. My life revolved around you. Seemed like it was always about you. Where to go, what to choose, how much I wanted. You always made me feel guilty and out of control. I was obsessed with you. You kept me from being comfortable in my own skin. You kept me from being the active mom my kids deserved. The hot wife my husband deserves. You kept me on the couch unable to enjoy life. Me you and the tv. I would lie to my friends and family and say " I don't like outside I'm an inside person". When in reality I wanted to be outdoors enjoying life. But instead my dependence on you kept me immobile. But since my sleeve I no longer want or need you. I now realize you have no power over me. I now eat to live not live to eat. I'm finding joy again. When I look in the mirror I see the girl I used to be before my relationship with you tried to destroy me. I feel better and have more energy and confidence than I've ever had. I feel more feminine and comfortable in my own skin. I know I still need you to survive. But I'm taking over this relationship FOOD! I will decide when enough is enough. We are done. I'm taking over my life. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using BariatricPal mobile app
