Hey everyone. Just checking on you alls progress. I've stalked again but I blame the holidays. Lol I'm starting over with my diet and exercise this week and continuing into the new year. I hope to be down 40 more lbs by next summer. I need to get back into the gym - the holidays sure does mess up your routine and give you bad habits. I'm staying motivated that I'll reach my goals. Hows everyone else doing?

Hips... How are you losing? I've seen to hit a stall... Don't think I'm eating enough. What are u eating and what types of exercise are you doing????

Heyyyyy mine had slowed down too. Had the longest stall. Think it's broken now. Back working out and eating protein first. Hopefully I reached my goal weight. Staying positive!!!! I'm in St. Louis now. Born here.

Glad im not the only one. sleeved january 2014. starting weight around 300 and im stuck in the 240s for a few weeks. i admit i fell off, moved, wasnt eating my Protein and was ultimately dissappointed at my 5 month checkup. so i got back on my game, have lost about 8 lbs since then and started intense strength training. maybe im gaining muscle or something but the scale isnt moving how i want it to. im just going to stay motivated and consistent, and positive. id love to hear any tips if you all have any too. thanks.

Happy 6 months to everyone! How's it going?

I started working out more and increased my protein. I fell off for a few months but I'm back on. I bought a heart rate monitor to track my calories burned during exercise. Our 6 month anniversary is this week! Congrats to everyone. I hope to reach my goals... Staying positive and motivated!!!

I'm very sorry for your loss dlm. Sending prayers your way! Hey everyone...

Oh yea and 50 lbs lost is excellent!!!! You should be overjoyed. Congrats!!!!!!!

Hey MJM, I'm just taking Multivitamins. Sometimes I take preworkout before I hit the gym. It gives me energy. Not sure how much I'm down. Stopped weighing myself. But I fit into a 18w now, down from a 22w!!!!! Can't wait to lose more!!!!!!! Happy 13 weeks tomorrow!!!!!!! How's everyone doing?

11 weeks out.

11 weeks out.

I have not had any issues with losing my hair. Not sure why others have.

Oh yea. I totally have to have protein supplement. I have the premier protein shakes once a day with a bar at least. On days I workout I might have two shakes - I heard it's good to drink one post workout... But a shake can give me anywhere from 30-45g of protein. I have pb2 and sometimes I mix that with the protein powder and skim milk. 4 oz fish or chicken is like 20g or so... Greek Yogurt with granola, etc... So it managers to be around 80g.

Thanks everyone. I'm working my way up too! I went to the doctor yesterday- I lost 11 more lbs in 4 weeks! I'm really happy with how things have been. Don't have a lot of endurance but it'll come in time I'm sure! :-) My goal is to reach 50 lbs down by 16 weeks! How's everyone else doing?

Hate to say it but are you working out too much or not eating enough? Personally for me, I just started working out. I've lost 10 lbs every month since surgery on 1/14. Since working out I've increased my calories and protein to 80g. I heard that stalls are normal but it seems like if you're not getting enough calories and you're burning too many, your metabolism slows down (starvation mode). Makes sense.

Helloooooo! Anyone working out? What kind of exercises are you doing and are you tolerating it???

I hope everyone has a good week!!!

Hi everyone! I doubt I'm getting around 800-900 calories a day but I do get my protein in. I have to have at least 1 shake a day... And maybe a protein bar. It seems like I'm not eating a lot again. I just started back walking and bought some good shoes. Hopefully my weight loss (pounds) starts back falling off. I bought some Atkins meals and they're great! They're small portions, I can eat a whole meal and get about 15-25g of protein from it. And they're about 300 calories! Kind of expensive though but I can just take those for lunch at work!

That is a great discovery! I don't weigh myself anymore but I do notice when I'm rushing I make bad food choices. I take either a Protein shake or bar with me everywhere I go now. Happy 8 week surgiversary! How's everyone doing?

No shipping issues here. Got mine last week. 4 cases with 30 11oz shakes in each, stretch mark ointment and bariatric vitamins. The box was very heavy and moist but the items were fine. Didn't have to pay anything.

I started regular food (according to doctor) after 6 weeks. Are you chewing thoroughly? Are you taking 30 or more mins to eat? Are you overeating? You should probably reevaluate your eating habits. I think you should be close to or should be eating regular foods by now.

Cigna pays! Got approved Monday. I'm getting shakes, stretch mark cream, and bariatric vitamins every month. Don't have to pay a dime. Doesnt hurt to try, at all!

How's everyone week going? I'm Feeling good. Aiming for 80g protein daily. Don't think I'll ever be able to get it without a protein shake/protein bar.

Exactly 4 weeks. Could've went back after 3 maybe. Didn't have an energy issue. I had scar tissue form and was having pain. After about 17-18 days it was fine. It's also better when you're off puréeds.

Everyone looks amazing! I'm so inspired. I'm Only 1 month out... Do any of you have any tips or advice regarding food, protein amount, fluid intake, and exercise?
