Hi there everyone! It is sometimes hard to see progress for ourselves so I did some before and after pictures. I am so glad I did. It helps me to stay inspired and stay on track. I am 5.5 months out and 81 lbs gone, FOREVER!! getting closer entering wonderland very soon!!! So psyched!! What do you all think?  

I have dropped 81 lbs since Dec16th 2012 day of my surgery. Went and seen the doc the other day and I just have to drop 14 lbs more for my goal weight. I have never as far as I can think back weighted 164 lbs. I can't wait to hit my 150.

When I saw the dietician 3 weeks post op, I asked about calories too. She said about 800-1000. I'm 9 weeks out and am just making it to a little over 700. I eat 6 small meals no more then 4 oz per meal. This is what my surgeon recommends. Also 60-80 gm of Protein per day. I still do 1 Protein Shake per day. I'm rarely hungry and my energy is good.

It is normal in fact you will hit many stalls through out your journey. .I up my Protein intake and sometimes up my work out too...try eating fish. .or any lean protein. ..

I'm sure every surgeon has their own guidelines but mine says 800-900cal a day. Trying to make 60-80grams Protein and 64oz Water. Hope this helps.

Thanks! I will start using it for sure Do you know how many calories one should have approximately. The Fluid thing makes sense as I struggled the last two weeks getting enough in. I am heading to my fitness pal now to sign up. Thanks again!

I sipped all day long using little medicine cups. One every 15 minutes. Its what my surgeon does and I could not go home until I was off IV and sipping enough fluids all day long. It is hard for sure but you can do this!!

Looking good! Thanks for sharing and providing me motivation to start my 10 day liquid diet tomorrow!

You look great!!

You look great congrats !!!! Keep up the good work and pictures!

I use the My fitness pal app to track everything that goes in my mouth. It can be very enlightening. If your calories are too low sometimes increasing them by 100-200 helps. Also, changing up your exercise can help. I also find drinking more fluids helps.
If you can use the my fitness pal app. It's free and sometimes it can be an eye opener.

DEFINTELY noticeable! :-)
