Down 62lbs since 3/12/13

Tips? You look great, way to go!

I also went from 22/24 and now 14/16. My skin is not great, stomach looks awful. Arms little bit, but not like my stomach which is where I carried most of my weight.

266

Had my 4mo appt. with malley. Said was doing great, 60lbs down and back in 3mo...hopefully by then I will below 200lbs.

I can eat a entire piece of pizza, usually go for smallest piece and depending on toppings and size I can eat...but not always. I can usually eat a entire taco to, but again depending on how big and loaded it is. I can eat half a burger usually..but these are all foods that are not the best for you... in most cases. Healthier recipes are out there...I do notice I can eat more now at 4 mo then at 2mo but still usually 1/2 cup to 3/4 cup so not a lot.

We all have moments, I have days I don't eat the best and regret it... But I know I have a addiction and struggle everyday. It's ok to have slip ups after all we are human and giving up everything forever is next to impossible.

At 4 weeks I was at 900 per dr paper work. Your going to have ups and downs. Lots if times water weight etc, you want to get calories so you don't go into starvation mode. I am at 4 mo out and eat 1000-1200 most days and losing 2lbs a week on average not fast loser but still going. I also work out 3-4 times a week. Good luck

I'm the same around 2lbs a week and still battle with food and can eat everything and anything. Hardest part is changing how you think.

At 8 weeks I was eating 900 cal and now at 4mo out I eat 1000-1200 depending on day. I am still losing not quickly like did at first but slowly. I was at 900-1000 in month 3 and noticed I slowed down so went up a 100 and started again. You have to listen to your body and be active.

Thank u for input

I am 4 mo out on 12th and 57lbs down I carry most of my weight in my belly. It hangs now...I do workout 3-4 times a week but I feel pain in my sides and under the flap I guess u would call it..is this common? I think from it hanging so much it's pulling? I also have lots of redness under the flap any tips to help? It's embarrassing to share but idk going to dr in few weeks so will ask also.

And good luck

Thank you only 55.8 since surgery, the rest was before from my high point but thank you

35.8 until goal, and 11 lbs until I no longer see 2 something on scale. I can't see it actually happening, progress has been so slow lately.

I was told not to worry about carbs, focus on protein. However I was also wondering this also. On my fitness pal says goal 249 on 1380 calories. However I never have that many carbs or eat 1380.

Don't think building muscle least not yet since only been 3-4 times

Gained again up to 213.2 I'm very discouraged... I started going to gym (3 times this week) and gained almost everyday ugh...didn't up calories so why am I working to better myself just to be fatter... down day sorry

Thank u all, I didn't measure myself before surgery or would be checking that to lol

I feel like getting no where, I have slowed down to snail pace and getting discouraged. I do this fun thing one day 212.4, next day 212.6, next day 212.8, next day 212 then 212.8 again I know don't look at scale everyday blah blah but I can't stop I have only lost 1.2 lbs in a week ( was 3lbs a week) and funny thing is I started going to gym this week gone 3 times and busy with small kids so moving lots and eating 1000-1200 a day. Lots of fluids etc...not asking for tips just venting. I got that fat girl wanting cupcakes feeling ;(

My husband stayed with kids, and took shower next morning a nurse taped up drain tube and then I showered myself and dressed myself and my husband and kids came and got me.

Why do you need re sleeved if dont mind me asking??

I was told to wait 6 weeks, I drink one every so often but not like I use to and feel no different.

I have already had kids but if was you would wait until after. Having kids was awful on my body stretch marks are up to boobs and when I get my tummy tuck hoping most of those go away lol. I would just hate to spend money and recovery time then have kids and not enjoy results anymore.

Thanks everyone I was unsure how I was doing, I watch what I eat but not super crazy and enjoy things from time to time. So sure could be dropping more if only ate lean protein and veggies....but didn't get sleeve for a forever diet. I eat around 1000-1100 cal a day and active with 3 small kids. But down 50.8lbs and happier.
