Hey everyone! Wow 11 months! I'm so happy to be on this side of the weight loss journey. I am now 177, 27lbs a way from my goal. I started at 300lb and surgery weight was 265. I am losing my weight very slowly now and eating about 1,000 cal a day. I was working out like crazy and then wasn't sleeping. Now I workout 5 days a week and I feel much better.
I was approved for skin surgery so that will be my next goal. Meeting with the plastic surgeon in a few months.
I'm proud of everyone here; keep up the great work!

On the treadmill I do an incline on 12-13, and my speed is 2.9-3.0 for an hour. I normally burn 1200. Then I get on the elliptical and i do the cardio workout and i burn 750-800 for an hour. If i don't hit 2000, then i do a few minutes on the stationary bike to hit my goal.

I think you are doing an awesome job! Keep it up.
You should follow what your doctor and nutritionist says not the trainer.
I was eating 750 calories and burning 2,000 for the first 7 months. Now I'm eating 1,000 and burning 3,000 a day.
I was 280 at surgery date now I'm 180lbs it been 10 months. So you can do it! ????

I get plenty of Protein. I drink a Protein shake every morning made up of unflavored Isopure 2 scoops (52 grams) and pure Protein (35 grams). Then I eat regularly doing the day.

Yup, a no here. The idea of carbonation stretching my stomach is enough for me too. I haven't had it in 6 months!

Great job on the 55lbs. I had a problem with hungry and my doctor told me that she wasn't increasing my calories (still eating 700 a day) u ntill i eat at least 70 grams of protein a day, i eat 80g now. And that did the trick! I'm not hungry any more and i don't go over 700cal.My trick- i eat shrimp or chicken for Breakfast, lunch and dinner with lots of veggies a few crackers and lots of Water.
I hope that helps!

I am also down about 66. I feel so great already where I am, but plan to lose another 40 or so. I am nearly to onederland! I bought some size medium tops the other day. Some were cut oversized and others are still a bit small, but amazing nonetheless. I have had breast reduction since my last major weightloss, so even then I was never smaller than a large. I have purchased a slew of designer jeans in size 12-14 that are waiting for me in my closet. I hope my thighs eventually get small enough to fit in them! @@redwings fan you are doing great! That is so sad when a dr. can't be encouraging. My dr and nut are nothing but encouraging so long as I am still losing!

Hey everyone! I had RNY on 9-11-14 and I feel about 95% better. I've lost 31 lbs feel so great in all my clothes and I'm getting complements from everyone! I feel great.

You may have to take a few more days off. I would suggest more protein-hope that helps.

I'm sooooo happy to read that all of the September surgeries went well and everyone is doing better. It's so awesome to be apart of this group.
My update: It's been 19 days post op and I'm finally feeling a little normal. I've lost 22lbs... I still have some pain in the left side of my belly but I think it's more gas then anything else.
I'm really looking forward to drinking more then 2 oz of Water every 15 mins. And eating solid foods in a few months. I'm having better days then bad and I've learned to eat more Protein in the morning in order to feel better through out the day. ????

You'll know when you've eaten too much. My mouth fills with saliva, sometimes I break into a sweat, and then I know it's time to find a bathroom because a PB is on it's way.
Remember that with your new smaller stomach, one extra bite may be an ounce too much.

20 months post op

You know, I started dreaming about food during my 10 day preop diet. I am so scared to fail but I go & dream about food & wonder if my brain is ever going to 'switch off'
Way to go on your 9lbs! I'm so scared to weigh because no kidding, I got 8 1/2 bags of fluids while in the hospital!! I am so scared of what I will weigh so I will wait a week. (Yeah I say that now.... Then in the morning I will hop right on!!) ????

I'm finally doing better. I'm still in the hospital. The doctors just remove my drain- so happy because I was in so much pain... my recovery was rough! I cried out in pain about 6 times. It took them a day to get meds that would help me. So now I'm eating 30 ml of whay Protein, Water and pudding. Every 15 mins. I should be home tomorrow or late tonight. Ohhh and I gave sooo much gas lol. Trying to sleep last night was rough-getting better though. ????

Wow so happy to see other September surgeries doing so well. Here is my update: today is day 5 post po and I am hungry. Starting tomorrow about moving up from 60g of Protein to 65g of protein working up to 80g a day. Cold Water is so much better then room temp.
I finally move alot lol of gas yesterday and feel almost normal today.
I still have pain but because I can move the gas the pain is alot less. I weigh myself today and from day of surgery I'm down 9lbs (I hope that is not to fast) is it normal that I dream about food? I'm walking more every day and I walked down my stairs yesterday and today. Just wanted this soreness to go away. But I'm happy ????

My surgery was yesterday, they took such good care of me in surgery & recover and up here in my room! I have been walking a lot & doing great. My mom when she had the surgery in march had a bad time with the gas pains from where the 'blow you up' so I was really expecting that. I haven't had that tho. The worst I had was a horrible pain in my sternum and extreme nausea after waking up. Dr did say he could tell I did perfectly ok my liquid diet, and had lost 15lbs in that 10 days. Now only 100 more to go, ahhhh.... ????
Still at this point haven't had anything but ice chips!
Hope everyone is healing well and everyone who has surgery today, I'm sending prayers your way!!!

I am felling alttle better, pain is at 2-3 and gas level is at a 10 walking every 5 hours to help...I had my liquid meds again and it does taste better with a little bit of pudding. So that helps. ????
