You look good , Congrats !!!

Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you, I'm only 5 2" tall . Lol

Thanks everyone. I have reached stalls , like every 2-3 weeks I'm at a stall. When this happens I try my best to lower my calories & exercise more. Problem with that is that I'm not getting enough nourishment . I only eat about 500-700 calories a day. Dr said at this point I should be eating at least 900-1100 calories a day. He also said the last 20-30 lbs are the hardest to take off. Now there are days when I over eat & have carbs & sugar & yes I know I'm not suppose to , but my stomach doesn't reject it & I feel fine, until I over do it . So I cheat every now & then. That's usually when I have my stalls. I wish you all good luck on this incredible journey of your new life as a skinny person . I love it . We all go through different stages & weight lose is different for each individual , but don't get discouraged if your losing at a slower rate, just remember , before the surgery , how long did it take us to lose anything ? I know for me, it took me over a yr just to lose 20 lbs. so I'll take the1-3lbs every 2 weeks. You will lose it , you will reach your goal. You will be happy . Don't give up, it will get better Have a great Easter everyone !!

Thanks !! Yes BMI is in normal range, body fat % is in range too . I feel great. . Guess if I really wanted to stop losing & stay at this weight I could.

6 months since surgery almost at my goal weight. Sept 26, 2012 - 209lbs , today I weigh 135 lbs , only 15 lbs away from my goal weight of 120, which the dr says I should be at. All my friends & family think I should stop losing now. What do you think? Should I listen to my Dr & drop down to 120? Day of surgery Me now 3/23/12 @ at a theme party dressed as Brett Michaels girlfriend from Rock of Love, lol

This is the only place I can share my feelings, never on Facebook , my friends just don't understand & everyone here does. Very glad this site exist .

You look great !!!

Thanks everybody

I'm finally in the one digit pant size!!! I'm a size 9, I'm so happy right now I could cry. I haven't been this size , in God knows how long. I'm almost to my goal . Just had to share !!! 60 lbs lost so far, I was sleeved 9/26/12

Going good. A little slow, but slow is better than nothing at all, like before. I was sleeved 9/26/12, I've lost 60 lbs so far. I have 26 lbs to lose to reach my goal, so I'm almost there. All the waiting is worth it, good luck on your journey

Surgery went great, I had to do 2 wks liquid diet pre op, which sucks. But worth it . After my first visit with him it took 6 months to have surgery, because of my insurance . They required a 6 month weight loss first with my primary care dr & a full medical evaluation with specialist .

My BMI was 38 . Wow 11 wks out , your doing great , congrats !! I'm honestly not starving , I think my body is use to my eating habits now. But I usually have stalls that last up to 2 wks , I've had 4 stalls since surgery . Good thing is I'm still losing . Any advice to stop stalls would be great .

Thanks

Thanks

I've lost 57 lbs so far

Sorry you misunderstood my post. I was only on full liquid for a week . Then on to purée , then to solids . I believe I started solid foods & was able to eat anything I wanted after the 5th week. The reason I asked about eating chips , is because I wanted to know what the harm was, besides eating carbs.
