yes that is awesome...sometimes we have to stop and smell roses along the way! you are doing great!

this is great! keep tracking all of your measurements...you will need them when the scale doesn't cooperate!!! good luck to you:)

welcome! get ready for your journey!

welcome! i am sure you will find a wealth of knowledge on this site! good luck to you on your journey!

i love my fitbit too! keep going the scale will move in due time!

you can do this! i am right there with you! i keep teetering between 200 and 205...waiting for 199!!! i haven't been diligent lately either:/ will this week be the week? going back the basics starting today...

i have experienced similar things...and it is irritating that the only topic of conversation i am now worthy is about my weight. many times i have used this conversation to explain how the band works and but most often recently i just tell them i am no longer keeping track of my weight loss and am unsure how much i weigh-so they will not ask me again. as others have already voiced it is a process and a journey and the weight will move-just not when we want it to. dig deep, continue to follow the rules and employ some of the many great suggestions that are floating around this site to get things moving again...i have been bouncing around the same 5-6 lbs for a month with no "real"loss...head up!

hang in there and hold your head high! this is a struggle we all encounter on our journey...i gained and loss 10-12lbs last month but had a net loss of only 7 when it was all said and done..i even got to 200...2000 almost at onderland and ended the month up 4...my kids graduates this weekend, my mom is on town, and there are several warm weather activities surrounding food coming up for me...i am determined to stay focused this month...but i know i will have some slip ups...it's ok...remember we are in this for the long haul...jump back in there and leave tomorrow in the past:)

happy one year! and congrats on all of your successes!

well that just plain sucks:/ thank you so much for sharing. you continue to be an inspiration to me. loving the fact that you were able to turn it around if only here on this forum using your words...i am not sure of your husband has struggled with weight loss but he truly has no idea what woman go through with our body image regardless of our size...chalk it up to ignorance...he loves you:) and let your celebration resume!!! chin up!

wow! amazing results in just a month! you look great...so jealous you're going to the meet and greet! i am definitely looking forward to going next year!

good luck to you...as far as food goes post op you'll have to follow your docs orders..all of us seemed to have different instructions...once you find out what you can eat come back for more suggestions...

congrats on reaching the middle! amazing accomplishment!

OMG! beautiful in all three pics...what a difference!! continued success!

how's the taste?

wonderful news!

how's the diet going?

doing very well yellowrose88! keep going!

i like that you are setting "little" goals, but they sure are huge!!! i am taking note:) way to go.

job well done jennifer!!! such an inspiration!

i watched all your videos today and subscribed! nice vlog!

i've been drinking decaf...my doc said no caffeine for 2 months...

i have only been able to attend one since my surgery that is held at my surgical center and i found it to be amazing...most of the people were bypass patients but they were very warming and welcoming. i found that our struggles as wls folks are similar. the group was facilitated by the psychiatrist that completes our evals for pre-approval and he was brilliant. of course, i may be a little biased as a clinical social worker myself, but i think support groups, even peer mentored are very, very useful. who else can support you better than your own...you'll find me here often for the same reason...but there is nothing like real life support..hope this was helpful:)

congrats on your approval!

glad to hear from you. that is great weight loss by the way...it doesn't seem that 60g of protein is too much...im to shoot for 60-80 a day! full liquid meals huh?!
