I have lost 128 pounds and don't need spanks! wait till you drop the weight to buy anything, you might not even need it! congrats on the surgery

I tried some at around 4 months post op it didnt feel good. every once in a great while I take a sip or two. For the most part I dont drink it

I can eat and eat what ever I want I indulge in naughty foods once in a while and mostly try to stick to healthy balanced foods. I eat bread up to 3 times a day sometimes. I dont use butter at all.I eat low fat dairy And make protein a main part of each meal.

I worried Im gonna get to thin too

Congrats on your surgery and you are lucky

I am not hungry or get hungry most of the month but there is a few days that pass by were I feel like I want to eat the world! It seems to be every month it happens for 2-4 days. I think it has something to do with hormones in the body. I had this before my surgery and would eat a whole lot of stuff when it happened! thank god for my sleeve.

try to eat a meal , drink 16 ounces of water, then meal, drink 16 ounces of liquid , meal , drink , snack , drink. I do this and helps me to not over eat and get all my liquid in .Good luck

OH YEAH!!!

Mexico for 8600. I got VSG. If I wanted to get my plastics done I could now but I cant afford them yet. Im 9 months out and have lost 123 pounds. I got a consultation for breast lift with implants here in michigan USA for 11,000 . Im so happy with the results. I feel like woman!

I guess I'm joining a little late but the challenge sounds great . I'm currently 165 and would like to be 150 by then. Its allot but you never know.

I lost 9 pounds in September. thats 2.25 pounds a week. I also have lost 8 inches. Grand total of 123 pounds and 102.4 inches lost. I now fit in a size 8 pants!cant believe it I was a 24. My next goal is 159 which is a healthy BMI for me. Then I want to get to 135 if possible. I want to wear heels and I am still not comfortable in them. It is better but I think if I drop a little more weight it would help. Also when I cross my legs its gets uncomfortable after a minute or two. here some more stats Pre op diet :288 lbs Surgery DEC-21-13: 276 lbs January: 252 February: didn't measure march 1st :233 April 1st :221 may 1st :211 June 1st :199 July 1st :190 august 1st :183 September 1st :174 October 1st :165

Dr.Alvarez was my Doctor too Congratulations I'm so happy for you

In order to continue to drop weight you need to remain at 600-800 calories a day. I feel like thats the most important thing to keep losing. All those calories should come mostly from protein.Eggs,fish,steak,ground beef,lentil,beans,shrimp,greek yogurt ,cottage cheese and cheese sticks. You need 75 or more grams of protein a day also important. Drink 64 or more ounces of water a day. When I dont drink water my weight stalls, I think because the body cant remove waste without enough.Take your vitamins daily to keep energy levels up. Try to exercise 3-5 days a week. Measure your food and blog it in myfitnesspal.com. It allows you to see daily protein intake ,calories,carbs etc..Measuring cups,spoons and a scale are also very helpful. Good luck on your journey

My highest weight was 301, day of surgery 276. surgery date 12-21-2012. Today I'm 165. my current goal is 150 . after that 135. I'm 5'7

You are hilarious

I'm 5'6 and a half. I'm 172 now my goal is 150. My new pcp wants me to be 140. A normal BMI for my height ranges from 117-156 . there is allot of different ranges out there. Ive been exercising allot which has lead to me eating more! I eat up to 1200 calories on almost every day of the week. I exercise 5 days a week. I cant seem to eat less than that without feeling hungry or tired. My surgeon said the first 6-9 months or year is the golden year. weight loss slows down after that. I have 22 pounds to go.I want to be done. I want to go into maintaining mode already! wish I was still losing 2-3 pounds a week

tilapia is a good one not too fishy. Add cumin powder,salt and bake it. Or you can try shrimp that tastes like chicken a little and is high in protein.

So sorry this is happening to you. How many calories do you eat a day? Maybe try adding 300 calories extra for 3-4 days then go back down to 800 a day. Have you tried any specific things to increase your metabolism?
