I had mine out in 2004...i was eating normal that afternoon after surgery. I wonder y you need to do a liquid diet? Anyways the surgery is easy peasy and i was fine in a day or so. Good luck!

So i fit into size 12s!!!....im a 12 and sometimes 14...only 10 lbs ago i was a 16. Goes to show how the smaller you are the more weight you lose the sizes go down faster. I leave for Japan in a week so im hoping i am 200 or 199 by then...either way I am so happy to go shopping. Its crazy!!! :wub: I eat tons of veggies too and i honestly dont count Protein etc. I just make sure that i eat some at every meal.

I was so happy to weigh in at 201.6 this morning but I have been fluctuating 202 to 203 for a few weeks. This would have been a good day but i am stuck in my house. I live in one of the communities that is on lock down due to the Boston Bombing suspect. I really hope this ends soon and no one else is hurt.

I can eat alot more now too but im fine with it. I dont feel like im eating nothing anymore plus i was able to up my calories to closer to 1200 to 1400 a day and weight still comes off. Its not healthy to still b at 600 to 800. I honestly think this was the best thing i ever did now i just can eat normal sized portions...well sort of normal lol The other thing i can do is drink normally minus chugging. Tiny sips were annoying. Now if i could just start working out

So excited i weighed in at 202.2 today!! now i am sure i will stall for another week or two but still so close to onderland!!! suepeeps : i need a pedi in the worst way...im going next weekend i think as i am leaving for Japan the 27th! Last time i went on a two week vacation with tons of walking i lost a ton of weight so i am hoping i lost like 10 lbs on vacation lol As long as i do not gain i will be happy.

I have been wondering the same thing...this thread died... I did fine on easter but had a wicked sweet tooth since i had my period over the weekend

For-me Don't be afraid of carbs..our body needs them for fuel and if you eat good carbs your all set! Happy Easter everyone (if you celebrate)

My 6 month ones came back low too but nothing too bad. My RN told me to take D3 1000iU pills for 3 months and it should regulate themselves and then just make sure im taking a multivitamin with Iron. She said almost all people are low on Vitamin D and the Iron is just from the surgery but nothing to worry about just to take the multivitamin with the Iron. I also take a calcium pill with added D in it to help out. Hope this helps!

I took my monthly measurements yesterday and i only lost 5 lbs last month but i lost 4 inches!! I also went shopping and went down from a 40b to a 38c bra, fit into size 14 jeans finally and wear large tops!!! Although losing the weight is taking forever its definitely noticeable. I highly recommend taking your measurements once a month because it makes a HUGE difference. I measure around the 20th to 24th of every month. Here are my measurements...started 8/20/12 (already down 10 lbs) and second is from 3/22/13 Neck 17.25 to 15.25 R Bicep 16.5 to 14.25 L Bicep 16.25 to 14.00 Chest 45 to 39 Waist 47.25 to 39.25 Around belly button 52 to 43 R Thigh 29 to 23 L Thigh 28 to 23 R Calf 20.25 to 17 L Calf 20.5 to 17.5 Total inches lost... 43.75

So was i so i just gotta take the calcium with d. Doesnt hurt to call the office and ask the nurse. Im kinda curious myself. I am sure its nothing

Have you had blood work done? I know some nutrient deficiencys can cause that like iron and b2

I agree

Well said :-)

Id b happy at 175 a year out...thats only 31 more pounds and 6 months to do it. Considering i havent worked out at all i cant complain lol I could see where that app would b discouraging tho.

Sweet thanks. 5'7 256 day i was sleeved on 9/5 32 is my age

Aww man its only for iphone

My vitamin d was a little low too so im taking a calcium plus d vitamin to help. I will stall for weeks it sucks but im also not working out lol

How many calories are you eating ladies? Im only asking because maybe your slow loss (i am slow too) has to do with too few calories if your working out. I havent really even worked out at all and i eat around 1200 cals. If your burning more than you eat thats not good for your body...even with what you burn you should b closer to 1000 cals. My BMR is like 1750 so i have a 550 cal deficiency about a day...but your body needs 1000 to 1200 a day just to function.... Just something to look at and im not trying to preach because we are all different but i dont see how you can live off 600 cals a day 6 months out. My capacity to eat has tripled since the second month....again just my two cents. Personally i feel everyone is doing great even if you feel you havent lost enough yet.

Jordon just weigh yourself in the morning and only the morning. Our bodies flutuate up to 5lbs during the day due to eating, drinking and other stressers on our bodies. I try not to weigh every day so i aim for every OTHER day...helps keep me accountable kinda but not obsessing over the scale. Also i step on the scale naked lol clothes can add up to 2 to 3 pounds as well.

Im going to japan for two weeks end of april/beggining if may and i took my passport out last night. I look horrible and all face lol i mean you can tell its me and i should b fine but another 40 lbs i might need to get a new picture. Even my work badge is gross to me..at least i can see how far ive come. Yay.

I just had my 6 month last week and i had nothing to ask really. We went over my blood work etc...my progress...but i had no complaints so i had no questions. Maybe at my year appt i will. Good luck!

i am the same way
