How has everyone been doing? I've lost 130lbs so I'm happy about that. However I would like to lose 20 more and now I've been struggling a little lately as far as my eating. Maybe one of the reasons is because I'm not on here as much as I use to be (it was a little hard when they were first making the transition to the new site), plus I could use more support from people who has had the surgery.

I hit onederland today. So happy I actually cried. I am so thankful for the chance to change my life for the better. What a great day!

Congratulations!

You look great! I also think it is neat that at only 5 months out you are already satisfied with your results because most people are not. Good luck with the rest of your journey!

It could also be Water weight. I struggle with that as well and I also weight train and someone had mentioned the water thing. Although I drink at least 64 oz of Fluid a day sometimes half is on water. So I'm trying to have at least 64 to 100 oz of just water and so far this week has been a good week with weight loss. Good luck!

The site is working now great for me...just a little more we have to go through but its neat to see the other bariatric stories.

Hello my May fellow surgery buddies. Dedicated to you all for an update on our 6 month progress. I hope your all doing well.

Had surgery on 5-14-13. Down total of 96 lbs. Size 22 to a size 12. Lots of energy and running. Yes, I typed, running 2.6 miles about 5 times a week. Loving life. Hope your all enjoying your journey. Miss you all.

Beautiful and congrats!

We've fixed this issue. Restart the BariatricPal app on your device and you should be good to go! Please respond to this thread and let me know if you're still having any issues.

I did this as well and I'm still not able to jump to the last page and/or see my post.

It's going to take us a week or two to get the site to a place where everyone is comfortable again. We understand what's bothering you as well as some of our other members and we most definitely will offer a solution that will satisfy almost everyone. All we ask is a little patience and kindness during this period.

Thank you.

Are all the may surgeries here?

So I'm taking someone's advice and posting so I can see the latest threads.

Not working properly.

The site is not working properly.

WLSBoards is celebrating its 10-year anniversary, and we are planning to make the next ten years even better. That’s why we’re combining the WLSBoards into a single, more powerful force. Each of us may choose different types of weight loss surgery as our own tools for weight loss, but ultimately, we all have the common goal of fighting obesity. BariatricPal.com will be better able to serve the weight loss surgery community by advocating for our rights as a unified voice.

BariatricPal.com has the same great discussion forums as VerticalSleeveTalk.com and all of the other social media options, such as blogs, private messages and photo galleries, which you know and love from VerticalSleeveTalk.com. In addition to the Gastric Sleeve forums that you’re used to, BariatricPal.com will have new forums for all of the weight loss surgeries. You’ll also love our all-new weight loss surgery resource section with information on choosing a weight loss surgery, the weight loss surgery diets, choosing a surgeon and so much more!

Successful weight loss surgery is a big effort, and BariatricPal.com is designed to support your new healthy lifestyle.

We’re very excited about leading the charge against obesity, and we hope you are, too! Stay tuned for more information about the changeover to BariatricPal.com! At the world’s largest weight loss surgery hangout, it’s cool to be a loser!

Alex, this site does not seem to be working properly. Please help.

Yes this is very annoying

My surgery date was 5/1 I'm down 138 lbs but have slowed way down as well I still find lots of things make me very sick

Congrat and you look great! My surgery was 5/20 and mine has slowed down as well. But I'm trying to remember it's only been 6 months and we are just halfway through a yr!

I am almost 6 months out, I've lost 110 lbs and I have yet to lose hair so you could end up one of the lucky ones. So far I have ( knocking on wood as I type).

I love the reduced fat cheese made by sergento it taste the best to me. Actually I love all cheese made by sergento.

hw 338 sw 318 (5/20/13) cw 210

I eat way too much cheese. It's a wonder I'm not bound up' date=' lol. I think the coffee is what saves me lol![/quote']

I was just saying the same thing to someone today. I eat cheese every day and I think me drinking a lot of Water helps me.

hw 338 sw 318 (5/20/13) cw 210

Wow!! Ya'll are doing great! Mine was May 20 and I'm down 85' date=' but I've been having a hard time staying on track!!! I've started grazing again and I can't seem to get out of that habit.[/quote']

I've started grazing as well and it's been very hard to stop as well. However today I was perfect! I just got off work so I'm gonna have a shake and go to bed shortly so that I don't mess up my perfect day. I log my food and that does help some because I do feel more in control. Also if I constantly drink Water I'm less likely to feel or think I'm hungry.

How do you make the side by side comparison photos?

Mine is called photogrid.

hw 338 sw 318 (5/20/13) cw 210

Mine was May 30th. Down 101 pounds now. It's slowed way down and I have another 100 pounds to lose. At 276 and would love to reach. 170.

Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk

That is great mine has slowed down as well and I still would like to lose 50-60 lbs. But I'm confident that if I continue to do what I'm supposed to do ( although it's getting harder) that it can be done.

hw 338 sw 318 (5/20/13) cw 210

Anybody ever been placed on phentermine during the 6 month pre op diet to lose weight?

I took it before and lost about. 50 lbs with it.

hw 338 sw 318 (5/20/13) cw 210

Tomorrow morning I am trying a new concoction for Breakfast. I took a scoop of vanilla protein' date=' half teaspoon cinnamon, quarter teaspoon of nutmeg and ground cloves and will put 1/4 cup pumpkin and skim milk and ice and blend. My fingers are crossed that it turns out because I am sick of breakfast.

Anyone have pumpkin shake recipes they want to share? I have wanted a pumpkin lattee since fall started but alas too much sugar...[/quote']

I myself have been craving pumpkin anything and I found several pumpkin recipes on bariatricfoodie. Please let me know how your shake turns out I might have to try it.

hw 338 sw 318 (5/20/13) cw 210
