    194--- looks like I've settled into the slow & steady stage. Not as exciting as seeing those big losses but I can definitely live with this. At least the scale is moving in the right direction. So here's to celebrating my 1lb loss. YAY!!!!!

    Well, I've finally done it. I'm in ONEDERLAND. I weighed in at 198.4 this morning. I didn't drink enough Water the week of Thanksgiving and I had gained 6 lbs in Water weight. I know it was water weight because it just came off 3 lbs on Monday and 3 lbs on Tuesday and then a steady 1/2 lb loss each day the rest of the week.
    I now can be on an elliptical machine without feeling like I'm going to die. When I first tried it a year ago, I couldn't do 2 minutes. Now I can do 90 minutes when I have the time. Usually it's 60 minutes though.
    10 months since surgery and I don't even recognize myself at the same time last year.

    SummersGirl reacted to NJSleeveboy in 2 Months After Surgery And Omg... Incredible!   
    I don't need the site anymore, as I have had zero problems since surgery.. HOWEVER, I did promise an update or two to some folk! I was one of those who had no issues.. Was on liquid diet for only one week pre-op.. Then went to soft foods the day after surgery and normal diet, really, the week after that! I was 265 at peak.. got to 260 start of liquid diet and am 218 today.. so, 42 pounds since surgery/pre-op.. My diabetes is all gone already! Was a 224 fasting glucose and now 77. My Vitamin D deficiency- GONE.. My blood pressure at lowest level (and normal) EVER.. cholesterol all great. .WOW....
    I use myfitnesspal app to track my calories. Bear in mind, I started much lighter than most and really never had true mental issues with food.. Just bad habits. So, I allow myself to eat only healthy foods.. I do eat and try some cake or other items, but it just makes me ravenous later, so I avoid them. I can eat my veggies and meats and carbs in any order...... I often wake up hoping this has not been a dream. It's incredible. I just post this , NOT TO BRAG, but simply to give hope to those who are about to undergo the surgery or who are struggling in the early days. Time flies and I could not be happier with all of this! Carpe Diem!

    I surpassed my goal Not sure how but I won't weigh for a while so I won't see the expected weight gain after such an unexpected loss.
    Today's weight 178, goal was 180
    Happy Thanksgiving!

    My husband is against me having the surgery and he said that I wouldn't look right skinny and in my head I am thinking I wouldnt look right dead either cause my fat ass had a heart attack! I have to say that although I love my husband this is my body and he doesnt and has never walked in my shoes. My grandmother always told me that a man can come and go and she is right. If you stay big is a man guaranteed to stay with you- NOPE. If you lose weight is he guaranteed to stay with you- NOPE. You have to live your life for you. When you look in the mirror how do you feel? If you could go back would you? Love is unconditional regardless and as long as he can offer you that, you two will be fine. Ask yourself, if you had a daughter in your situation what you would tell her. Just my two cents...

    I was a slower loser, it took me 18 months to reach my goal of 140lbs, and now I have dropped a little below! And it is true about sizes varying wildly depending on bones, muscles, etc. I wear the same size as someone I know that is almost 10lbs lighter than me!

    What an @$$. And that goes double for your best friend. I'm so sorry you're having to go through this. Rest assured that he'll be able to see that 43lb weight loss on you, and that soon he'll get to see you feeling healthy and fabulous, while he's still the same miserable jerk.

    Lolly,
    Girl! There are sharks on these boards and when they see you talking about pizza, doritos, etc.. they smell the blood in the Water and you are toast!! As for me, I had this surgery so I could live like a normal person, eating normal portions and end my dieting, food obsession nightmare. I am not living my life on Protein Shakes. That said, I still have to have a Protein Shake everyday to get all my Protein in because I am only 2 months out. I am a lucky one who has a sleeve of steel and have only barfed once and I think I ate too fast and didn't chew well enough. I tolerate everything. I ate a very small piece of thin crust delight pizza from papa murphys at about 6 weeks. I was full. It was great, I used to eat 4-5 pieces to feel full before.

    Hi there. I have dry curd cottage cheese (half to 3/4 cup) with a couple tbsp of salsa almost every work day. It is 22g of Protein per half cup and low in calories. I actually like the taste so it works out I too cannot drink protein, makes me nauseous to even smell it. I also like the small tins of Thai chili tuna with a couple crackers (15g of protein), but you're looking for not fish. I take a couple of cheese strings for coffee breaks. Gotta avoid the cakes and Cookies.

    When I started this journey on June 18, 2012 I weighed 334 lbs (surgery day), I wore a 5x from Catherine's which is the largest size they have, today I am down 83 lbs and went in there to find a warm up/track suit to wear on our vacation to Gatlinburg in a couple of weeks, well the only size I could wear was the 0x which is the smallest size they have! So I'm standing at the checkout and my eyes were welling up with tears and the ckout lady thought something was wrong with me, so I made it to my car and I just sat there and cried like a baby! I am so grateful for this surgery!

    Biotin has done nothing for me. Or maybe I'd be more bald? I eat about 55-65g of Protein daily. Before surgery I probably ate 20g per day and I had lots of hair. So what gives?
