I am 5 months out and I remember feeling just like you. Fast forward 4 months and its a whole different ball game. No regrets! Down 75 pounds, eating more reasonable portions and able to drink an entire water bottle within an hour. I remember sipping thinking I can live like this! Rest assured it gets easier with time. Things are very swollen and your main focus right now is healing. The rest will come in time, you'll see...each day you'll start to feel a little bit better. I have so much energy now, going to the gym and feeling better than my previous self. Best wishes to the both of you! You'll be surprised how fast time will go by, you're going to do great!

I'm 3 1/2 mos out and had a great experience. Best wishes!

I was close, 210.6 Thanks for the motivation!

You look amazing. It's amazing how youthful it makes your skin look. Are there scars for the thigh lift, not familiar with how that works.

Checking in 221 this morning which means I need to lose 11 this month to make goal. Going to try hard!

Update CW 227

I'm eight weeks out tomorrow and down 32# I tried a small tenderloin steak yesterday for the first time, what a relief that my tummy liked it. Just in time as I was getting burned out on shakes to get in my protein. My routine is a protein shake blended with 1.5 cups of spinach, 1/4 banana and pb2 for breakfast, fish, yogurt or cottage cheese for lunch, cheese stick, am salad or PB cracker snack, and various dinner. I've been averaging 60 grams protein but yesterday got 91. Still finding it difficult to get in all my water though.

On the computer I was able to change the automatic distribution of calories to reflect the high protein low carb settings I needed. Otherwise it wanted to keep changing the carb amounts to a higher amount. I'm 6 weeks out with a calorie limit of 800 aiming for 60-80 grams of protein, less than 40 of carbs.

Not sure about your phone capabilities, but I have an iPhone and could only change the food goal settings on my actual computer.

Checking in, current weight 232.5

Sleeved 12/15 and down 19#

I have been curious if we are meant to count all carbs or just net carbs. I've noticed some atkinds items for example say 4 net carbs but on the back label it shows 21 total. I was given percentages 40% protein (60+gms). 30% carbs and no more that 30% fat. Following the rules of protein first, veggies second, no drinking 30/30 etc.

I am just past 2 weeks and not allowed eggs yet, but I have a great non stick pan that I use a tiny spray of Pam, put egg in, when almost set I add a little water and cover. I like the texture of a basted egg, similar to poached but easier.
