im 3 months out and average 700-900 calories per day. My surgeon said i shouldnt be counting calories, but i am

I know i still have a long way to go...but here is where i am so far...down about 48 lbs. the first pick is at my son's birthday...im thinking maybe 230lbs??? And no, i wasn't preggo in this pic LOL. SUre looked like it though.... The second pic if from this month 9/2011. Hope to get better pictures, but this is a start...I can't believe im posting up this picture!!! Take care everyone!

Im in the same boat!!

i had my surgery on 6/23/11 and i am a really slow user. I put all my weight loss into a chart ( i need a visual!!)and ive been averaging 1-3 lb weight loss each week. I needed to see that i am still losing! Because honestly i get very discouraged when i read how people lose like 5lbs or whatever. I do think you need to up your water intake. How much protein are you getting in? i have never been a water drinker, but crystal light has become my best friend. Keep your head up. And do what your supposed to do. I need to follow my advice too. Ive been weak many times, but its a battle and i want to believe i get a little stronger every day. We can do this! Everyone is different. We just have to work our sleeve!! Keep me updated!!

Escape_Pod you are doing really good! REALLY GOOD!! I can only let everyone's #'s encourage me not make me discouraged!! I just gotta do better!! Thanks for sharing.

I must be the SLOWEST LOSER EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Im so happy for all of you! You all are doing amazing!! I wish my loss was like yours How much excercise are you doing? I need to jump kick my excercise. I need to jum kick my weight loss!!

wow that is amazing!! CONGRATS on your weight loss!! wowzers! Please share what you are doing? How much do you eat per meal? Are you counting carbs? How much are you excercising? Was all your weight loss post op?? Hope you dont mine, but please let me know, so i can tweek my weight loss!!! CONGRATS!!

I had surgery on thursday went back on the following tuesday. Felt fine, juz a lil tired. Luckily don't have much patient care anymore, that may have been too much. Good luck!

Hello fellow jewels of june! Wanted to check how everyone is doing! How many calories are u eating now? And how much? Has your weight loss continued or has it slowed down? Hope everyone is well!!!

can you feel it inside? I was looking into the depo shot but side effects include weight gain and hair loss. Not a good combination

I will be getting on some kind of birth control this week. But not sure what. Is there something out there that doesn't cause weight gain?? Thank you!

wow that is awesome! im only 2 months out and my loss has slowed down a lot. At least im losing. So i am happy for that. Good for you!! You have been an inspiration to me

hahaha good one. If my hubby is around, i just blame him

exactly!!! wow i am soooo happy for your weigh loss! good for you!! i know u lost a lot pre-op. How has your weight loss been after? Are you losing consistantly every week?

oh my! i know what you mean. I was at church and my stomach was making these LOUD weird sounds. LIke gas going thru a tunnel!!

Hi all, Wondering if anyone else hears sounds coming from their insides. I notice them most, when i drink too much or eat too much. It sounds like rumbling echos?? And i feel like i ened to burp but it takes awhile to be able to. Anyone else go through this too?

How are you doing now? How are your eating habits now?

wow congrats!! I hope i can lose like you !!

i guess medifast would be fine. Too bad it doesn't have more protein. I was on bariatric advantage and i think that had like 27 g of protein? Good luck

how many carbs does it have? And calories? Does it have enough protein?

Hi Tiffykins, i have a questiona bout Prilosec. On my box, it says to take for only 14 days and to wait months before taking another dose. But i read here how some people take it everyday. Are you on it everydayy and have been on it?

Thank you so much. It just gets so frustrating. And i know i should not become a slave of the scale. But its really hard! Thanks for the advice.

That is really scary!! I tend to eat fast even though i am trying to slow down. But that is a hard habit to break. So thank you for sharing. This should help me even more to slow down.

Ok I've had 2 cookies, in a moment of weakness. But could that make me gain 1.3lbs??? I'm hoping my period is coming and that's why I've gained. ( Can't remember exactly when my period fell on last month because somehow it was deleted on my calendar in my phone...) But even if its not my period coming, how do I gain that much in such a short time?? I've increased my activity / walking. And my water intake too. I've been eating 4-5 oz per meal as my surgeon said I should be at rt now. Anyone else go thru sudden weight gain???

wow that is scary. How long ago did she have the sleeve done? Was she over eating a lot? LIke to the point of throwing up?
