I am trying to get myself back on track, 16months post-op. When counting my Water intake, does my Protein Drink count as water intake? I drink Click powder mixed with water mid-morning.

You guys are all right! I need to go back to the basics! I have printed off LilmissDiva's back to basics bootcamp. I am increasing my Water intake right now. I am also logging my intake again and reading the posts on this sight!! I will get back on the right track!! Thanks for the encouragement!!

I was sleeved in April of 2011. My lowest weight, about 6 months ago, was 178. I am now back up to 200. I just can not seem to get my mind back to where it needs to be!!! I do not want to go back to the way I was before this surgery. I am desperate. Please, someone, anyone, talk me through this!!

Coops, that is exactly how I feel. I KNOW in my head that I am doing great. No more short term goals for me!!! I am just going to rejoice in every ounce that I lose, no matter how fast or slow it comes off

Looking awesome!!!!

I now weigh less than my husband, and, for the first time ever, I wore his T-shirt to sleep in!!!! Yay!!! I am so excited! I not only wore it, but is was loose :) :)

I go up a pound or 2 now and then, and then it comes back down plus extra. I am 4 months out.

Well, I had a goal to be at 187 by August 19th. That is my wedding anniversary and that would have put me losing 100 pounds in a year. I am going to be 5 1/2 pounds short. I am really frustrated. I try to tell myself to look at my overall weight loss. It is really amazing.I have lost 94.4 pounds in year, 52 pounds in the 4 months since my surgery. I am thinking that I'm not going to make myself short-term goals anymore. This was the first time I actually set a specific number in a specific period of time, and I think I get too hung up on the numbers when I do that???
I know that I have done a few little things to sabatoge myself lately too. I had completely quit drinking coffee before my surgery because I only like it with real sugar and CoffeeMate. In the last month I have started drinking it again (with the real sugar and CoffeeMate). I just got my first order of Click in and started drinking that this morning (LOVE IT), so I am hoping that will help me break the coffee habit again. I notice that now, at four months out, I can eat more and I am hungry more. I am struggling to drink enough Water too. I HAVE to make myself get my water in!!!
I guess I just needed to vent a little. I will now STOP whining, pull my big girl panties up (though they are much smaller than they use to be, just a large with no x's in front ) and do what I know I need to do!!! Thanks for listening!!

I had surgery on April 11th at 244lbs. I just reached onederland about a week and a half ago. I am also a slow loser. Today is my 4 months anniversary of surgery and I have lost 51 lbs since then. The rest of my weight loss is pre op as well. Looks to me like you are right on par with me! Maybe we are normal after all?? lol Congrats on the weight you have loss thus far and good luck in continuing to lose!!!!
-
You look great and that is the most important part!!!

People really use no censorship when talking! You are so right. It was a compliment to you because you have lost so much weight, but what about the person in line behind you who has gained a lot of weight. RUDE!!!

Watermelon is a slider for me. I can literally eat it and eat it and eat it. I have had to cut it completely out of my diet because I have no willpower when it comes to watermelon.
-
AWESOME!!! Congrats to you!! You look amazing!!

I sometimes feel the same way. At work, there are a couple of people who keep using the word "skinny". I WEIGH 193lbs!! I am so far from skinny!!! If someone has not struggled with their weight for their entire lives, or what feels like their entire lives, they just don't get it!
-
Tiff, you look beatiful!! You are that skinny little pregnant girl I was always envious of when I was pregnant!! You just glow and I am so happy for you!!!!
-
I feel the same way Kelly! I have lost 94 lbs so far. I am more than 20 from my goal, but still, I LOST 94 LBS?!?!?! I can see in pictures that I am much thinner, but in everyday life, I forget that I have lost weight. I still see myself as the biggest person in the room, even when I KNOW I'm not.

Hi! I am from northeast Arkansas. I had my surgery April 11th with Dr. Jones in Jonesboro. I have lost 51 lbs since surgery, but 94 lbs since starting my journey August 19, 2010. I am HOPING to lose 100 lbs by August 19th of this year. That is actually my one year wedding anniversary too!! Welcome, and thanks for starting this group!!!

Congrats on 18months out and on your awesome weight loss!!!

I went to the doctor (not surgeon) at about 2 1/2 months out. I thought I was healed, had not pain or tenderness or anything. I was there for a kidney/bladder infection so he had me lay down on the exam table to check for any tenderness or swelling related to that. When he pressed around my stomach area, I came up off the table!!! I hadnt thought to mention that since I was there for a UTI and I hadn't had pain or soreness in 2 months!! So, yeah, you still are healing internally and can hurt yourself unintentionally.

Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!

Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, I was sleeved April 11th. I thought I was doing good until I see that you've lost 85 pounds?!?!?!? That's freaking fantastic!!! Congratulations!!!!! I've lost 84 total but 41 since surgery. I feel great though and that's what matters (most days:) I'm about 65 pounds to goal, 3 pounds to onederland!!!! Looking forward to seeing how everyone is doing!
