Arms that have a shape like.....arms! Shin bones

It sounds to me you're doing everything right too! But for clarication, it sounds like you're getting 2 L or 80 oz of water? If so, that's excellent. Also sounds like you're tracking well but are you using a tool like My Fitness Pal to make sure nothing sneaks past? Other than that, the added exercise may be the ticket for you. One thing you didn't mention is whether or not you're seeing a change in how your clothes fit. Stay the course, the scale will move! Keep us posted.

Six months is a very short time for your brain to wrap itself around such a big change. I think you're right that a therapist could help you see and feel yourself the way you really look and feel now. I've already read "Skinny Jeans at last. Secrets to long term weight loss surgery success." by Cliff Thomas, M.D. It was a eye-opener for me on some issues I've been secretly harboring and how to address them. Get some help so you can enjoy your success. You deserve to be proud and happy!!

Week Eight post op Challenge weight: 203.4 Last week's weight: 183.4 Today's weight: 181.6 CHALLENGE TOTAL: 21.8 I started a couple weeks late but was still able to place Silver in the Labor Day Challenge. I'm pleased and now me and Evie Sleevie are on to the Halloween Challenge!!! See you there

After the first pounds, my neck looked a bit gaunt, but I've taken care to use a brush with my face cleanser and moisterize. I think the elimination of sugar, fried foods, and other toxins has also helped. Besides, everyone I've seen on this forum with before and after huge weight losses, looks much younger (and healthier) to me.

LOL Congratulations, guys!

Working out and drinking the water have been the difference makers for me. You may be get started slow, but build it up with time and I believe you'll be happier with your progress. And as you progress, please keep us posted. Others may have great suggestions for you.

Great job! That enthusiam is going to help you meet that fast track goal!

I mixed a 4 oz can of tuna with a boiled egg and low fat mayo and it was quite filling. Are you sure it was an 8 oz can of tuna? Also, getting in all your water will mean you always have something in your stomach, even waiting 30 minutes to eat.

You look wonderful but I love how you're sticking to the plan and doing YOUR part to make this a success. Congratulations! We wanna see you again in a couple more months.

Very ready and very prepared. I was ready for the Loser's Bench. Ready to get rid of years of yo-yo dieting. It's the best thing I've done for myself and I knew it before my surgery. As far as complications, I had faith God would finish what He started. Get a good night sleep and keep us posted.

Welcome to the Loser's Bench! If the nausea gets bad, they can give you meds. Don't hesitate to ask, you need to be able to rest and heal. Keep in touch.

Sometimes your choices influence the amount. I was stuck in the airport Sat and bought junk food for the wait because I can eat so little now. Surprise! Those Doritos and chocolate sticks went down and left me searching for more. Many hours later I had chicken salad and my restriction was back! My fav receipes are on theworldaccordingtoeggface.com. Enjoy!

I'm no expert either but I also vote No. Corndogs are fried and have lots of sweet yummy batter. Yes, one of my favorites. If you look at the carbs and fats, I trust you'll see it won't help your weight loss. Also a sandwich with what? Maybe two slices of bread? Also not the best course. Basics like baked fish and baked chicken with a vegetable fixed in a healthy way is more in line. I'm sure you're already doing this, but maybe the occasional corn dog or sandwich are slowing you down. Oh, and don't forget 64 oz of water. These processed foods tend to have more sodium. That water makes a world of difference for me. Good luck and hang in there!
