Awwww I'm literally crying... Thanks for your sweet words!!!

Who would have thought this former couch potatoe would have ran 2 miles this morning????

Not normal at all... Call your doctor!!! date of surgery 02/21/13 surgery weight 340 lbs. current weight 146 lbs

So another one at night too... I noticed you say you are in a stall.. Protein is the culprit there too.. Do u like Greek. Yogurt?? Baby bel lights? String cheese.. Boiled egg. Make your self eat or drink something with protein in it every 2-3 hours

You got to find a way to get protein in. It is key. Drink a shake in the morning for breakfast... You have to!! If things don't get better. Call you dr and or nut!! Good luck date of surgery 02/21/13 surgery weight 340 lbs. current weight 146 lbs

Dl do you use the exercise portion on calculating calories for the day?? It's hard to go from Protein grams to calories... So may questions... This maintenance thing is a bi*ch!!! date of surgery 02/21/13 surgery weight 340 lbs. current weight 146 lbs

Woohoo!!!! date of surgery 02/21/13 surgery weight 340 lbs. current weight 146 lbs

Thought this deserved a bump... Made today and put a tsp of sugar free strawberry jelly on top... So good!!!!! date of surgery 02/21/13 surgery weight 340 lbs. current weight 146 lbs

Taking a probiotic once a day has helped me! There are articles on the web that support taking a probiotic for gastric bypass patients. There are even studies showing its help with vitamin b absorption... As with anything tho check with your doc!!

In the ingredients it says whey

Way to go!!!!

I had set 165 as my goal. Dr said 170... I'm now maintaining 147... Go with what looks good

Thanks guys... Seriously the reason I keep coming back to the site. I always gain a ton of insight from the new gastric patients as well as the vets. You are all an inspiration. Thanks for keeping me on the straight and narrow!!!

I takes awhile for all the nerve endings in your pouch to heal. I would suggest you weigh or measure your food to your dr or nuts protocol so you don't overeat while your insides are healing

You're gonna love the new you!! Lol

DL... Quit being a slave to the scale Haha!!

Forgot my pic

Finally feel small. Date of surgery 02/21/12 340 lbs, today 146. My mind finally caught up with my body

Awesome!!! Congrats to you!!

DL.. I'm in a similar situation. Thanks for the tip about adjusting my fitness pal. I really hadn't thought of that

Hey bb I knew you were into running. I've always been a big walker.. Just getting into the whole running thing.. Can you recommend a good shoe?

Grouchy pouchy!!

Is key to this whole process. Ran 1.25 miles this morning. Move your butt today!!!
