i see your not a new sleever, i was worried for a sec.

you can do it.

Are you tracking your food? That information will be helpful when you see your doc or nutritionist. Make sure you see either one of them soon. They can help.

i'm sorry - must be so frustrating - don't give in or up -get help/ideas from doc/nut-please don't give up and go back to bad habits - stay strong- drink and continue to follow the rules - i have confidence in you kathy

I don't know exactly what kind of working out( weight training, walking, cycling,ect.) that you are doing at the gym.......but please remember that muscle weighs more than fat.

are you losing inches?

are your clothes getting loose?

are they getting too big on you?

if so, then you are losing actual/real weight

regardless of what the scale says or does not say

keep doing what you are doing as it will soon enough

ps, dont weigh all the time if you are...look how you feel now

it will happen...hang in there

Always or drink your protein 1st. Check your heart rate and you want to burn the fat. Really walking distance of 1 to5 miles I need to. Do more each week, Surprise the weight will COME OFF. WALK WALK, LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT. PICKING THEM UP & PUTTING THEM DOWN. AND SMILE.

Awesome!

Thank you everyone!

whoop whoop.. Congrats....

Congrats. You look great!

Congrats

I love working with my trainer. I saw her 8 weeks before surgery and lost 4% body fat and gained 10 pounds of lean muscle during that time. I was actively maintaining my weight because I was borderline qualifying for surgery. I still see her post-op and it's great. Don't worry about it slowing weight loss... if you're building lean healthy muscle you're also amping up the metabolism because muscle burns more calories than fat. I'd rather be lean muscle and healthy than skinny and weak any day!

you are doing great!!keep up the good job - i know you will

Awesome ! Great job ! Keep it up !

Thank you!

Congrats! That is AWESOME

I'm eight months out and I'm still losing but my hair is still coming out.

Some on this site recommended Juvenon for hair loss problem.

I don't know anything really about it but my surgeons office said it was okay to use.

I also checked with the pharmacy I go too to make sure I wouldn't have a problem with it if I started it and was told it was okay to use.

Here's to our hair not falling out any more.

have you guys tried biotin. it worked extremely well for me. but it isn't just surgery that will make your hair fall out. go back 5-6 mos. did you experience something stressful? i love suave shampoo the morrocan one. when my hair was falling out it at least fell out shiny and healthy looking.

outstanding...no matter when you started!

You go, girl!

awesome news

Woohoo!! Buh-Bye to those lbs for good!!

I think Im going to start saying gone instead of lost. We can find what is lost and those lbs are GONE for good! Congrats!

Thank you both!

Good job! Now that we know we can do it. Those numbers will keep rising.

Great success. Good for u.

Wow.. On your preop..congrats

Nice!

Thank you!

Head games isn't it...

I feel ur pain. Mine was supposed to be the 16th of Jan. (2014). Surgeon's office told me only 1/2 the surgery would be covered by insurance THE DAY BEFORE surgery. So, I had to cancel and look into appeal. I've lost about 15 pds. on this horrendous pre-op diet, meanwhile. Silver lining in everything?

My surgery was supposed to be on Wednesday but I'm still waiting for authorization, so it had to be cancelled. Looks like I'll be toughing it out on the preop diet for a while longer....

Pre-op liquid diets SUCK ( I had 2 weeks pre-op AND 2 week post-op...but you can and will do it and be successful...always remember why you chose to do this and it will get you through...good luck!

Jan 20 will be here before u know it.

Congrats. I am sure jan 20 th will get here soon. Keep yourself busy, in the meantime.

Get a vape, a proper one, not those cheap drugstore ones. Go to an actual vapor store and get a kit. I've never smoked cigarettes and I use them, they are great! Also, it's a safe way for actual smokers to get their nicotine fix and their oral fixation sorted in one go instead of resorting to the cancer sticks.

I used e-cigs to quit. I agree, don't get the cheap drugstore ones, either. I used ProSmoke, which I ordered online after much research. It's the only way I was able to finally quit.
