6 months out tomorrow. My surgery was on Valentines Day. I'm down 110 pounds, only lost 10 pounds in the last month and a half. I'm at a real stall. I try not to panic because it seems pretty normal to stall pretty hard right about now. I'm amazed at my ability to move with such ease after shedding so much weight. I actual lit have fun exercising, it doesn't hurt to do healthy things. On the day I had surgery I weighed in at 356, today I am 246. I have a ways to go and still hard work ahead but I'm getting it done!!! It's been bumpy along the way, but I would do it again in a heartbeat. I also have a cute hair-do. So much of my hair fell out. I had to do something. I try to eat as much veggies as I can. I eat nutrient dense foods. Not so much meat. I eat salmon mostly. I've even tried some raw foods recipes.

I am 5 1/2 months post op and I'm wanting to change my diet to a plant strong diet. Is anyone having success doing this?

I have lost almost half of my hair. Getting a short cut tomorrow. My hairdresser said I can probably grow it out after a year or so. It sucks, but I knew it would happen. I even take biotin, to no avail.

I am about a week shy of being five months post op RNY. I have lost exactly 100 lbs since surgery date. Yesterday was not good and has me scared. I took my two kiddos to the movies and I nibbled on a a small popcorn and ate the whole thing. I also had a couple of licorice vines. I didn't get sick, but I haven't done that since surgery and it has me worried. I have tried to justify its by saying it was better than a large popcorn and an entire box of red vines. I was just so disappointed in myself. The process up to this point has been so difficult and I'm really seeing the results now. I don't want to compromise my success in any way. It made me realize that I can't wing it where food is concerned. I have to plan my snacks. If I would have had some string cheese and apple slices in my bag I wouldn't have had the popcorn and licorice. It was a lesson learned.

As I write this I am sitting on one of my dining room chairs .................WITH MY LEGS CROSSED!!!!!!! (Comfortably)

Yes I've lost 83 since surgery date. I lost about ten more just prior to surgery.

My baby tummy loves salad. Mixed greens with balsamic vinagrette. Shrimp, cucumber, boiled eggs!! I'm so excited. I'm also loving hummus. Anyone else enjoying that? And, I've been carrying those 100 calorie packs of almonds. They are helping me when I'm out and about and need something quick. Those packs are a good size for a snack. My surgery date was February 14, I had RNY and I'm down 83 pounds!!!

Well I'm going to give it a shot.

Well I'm going to give it a shot.

Y'all ate eating salads and are doing well?

I just laughed so hard I snorted. I have the same sentiment towards my moody baby tummy.

A couple weeks ago I dipped under that ugly old 300 mark. Such a good feeling. Congrats to your achievement.
