great job way to hit that 100 lb off goal. I wish I could figure out how to get my weight loss moving again. If you have any secrets you could share for a slow looser what would it be?

I'm right there with you head to that scale 1st thing in morning daily. GRRRR need to put it in the other bathroom where I never go.

thanks for the modivation as I am guilty of getting on scale daily.

I will have to try the fat free refried beans for breakfast. Yummy.

Arlene that is fantastic how much weight you have lost. You are doing way better than me. But I'm doing ok just at a stall for some time now. I'm hoping new exercise, adding shakes back in, etc will give me boost. Good luck and keep up great job.

Miss Mac thank you for encouragement. I have stepped up my exercise more, added shakes back into my diet, and try not to be focused on the scale so much. I an my next appointment with surgeon for follow up next month. I will ask for other suggestions at that time.

just click on topic that you would like to respond to and go to bottom add reply and click on post.

I will do that Jenn1 to see if it helps. I fell great just not seeing weight fall off any longer.

I have only lost 45 lbs. any suggestions to get back on track or shake things up a little?

Am I the only one that gets the shakes if doesn't eat every 3-4 hours? This is very concerning and frustrating as it always happens at worst time.

you look amazing. It is a life long journey as you know keep up hard work.

I don't think it was stretched as I was able to eat more once on solids and needed to eat about every 3 hours or so. Good luck and hang in there.

I would love for someone to help inspire us WLS on our journey to better health, longer lives, and new us. Good luck. I have only lost 37 pounds since sleeve on 12/04/13. I am a slow with weight loss and no explanation as to why not losing as quickly as my daughter had surgery one week after me lost 69 pounds. Oh well I feel great no complaints just not sure why it is going so slow for me.

Is anyone having unusual bruising since surgery? I wake up daily with new bruise somewhere on my body. I'm not sure if it is because I'm more active, had more cushion before surgery, or just part of ongoing issue sleeve issue that I will have to deal with going forward. Let me know your thoughts. FYI.... finally under 200 pounds just hit 199 pounds this morning. My next goal is 180 pounds.

bearman99 great job and I was self pay as well and I understand totally. We are in a much better place health wise than we would ever be on our own. And will live a healthier and longer life. Keep strong and keep up good job.

I'm 49 with three grown children, three grand chrildren, with one on way. I kicked diabetes and high colestoral since my surgery on December 4, 2013. I'm down 31 lbs and loving the energy that I have and new healthy life that my new sleeve has brought me. I am excited about what is to come over the next year.

add me to your list my surgery was on 12/04/2013 lost 30 lbs little slower my weight loss.

you look awesome. This helps me not to get discouraged since I had my surgery on 12/04/13 have only lost 30 lbs. But I know it works and have seen it time and time again. Thanks for the confidence and sharing. Hang in there.

oh wow maybe try EAS and don't drink to fast. I drank to fast and it caused upset stomach with EAS Protein shak. But when I sip on it for about 45 minutes it goes down just fine. Good luck.

OMG I am so looking forward to that day where I can fill my ribs, run and not be out of breath, keep up with my grandbabies, and just go for a walk..Thanks for sharing what we can expect down road. That is awesome.

Yes it would be great for all of us to meet up sometime we will have to see how timevplays out.

I was in same boat last week and half was my doctor on Wednesday told me not getting enough Protein back to basic getting 60 gram protein daily. So started it again lost four pounds in two days wahoo me. Give it a try see if it works. good luck don't give up. We are in it together.

I agree must be three week stall as I'm on week four have not lost in weight since week three. I think it is our bodies adjusting to changes from surgery. I sure hope that is all it is little bummed out since my daughter had surgery one week after me and is still loosing weight daily. Doctor visit tomorrow will see what I need to change or stick with current plan. good luck everyone.

Mine is Dr. Turnquest at Houston Methodist Willowbrook excellent doctor. I am almost 5 weeks out and have hit plateau for about 1 week now. My daughter had her surgery on 12/11/13 lost 24 lbs and I have lost 18 lbs. I'm not sure if it is an age thing since we eat about same thing. But we have follow up tomorrow will see what is going on at that time. I feel great more energy and walking on treadmill moving around much more. I'm not sure if not eating enough Protein to many carbs or what is going on. But enjoying changes that are taking place. Talk to you soon.
