This has been the best NSV for me, up until now he's never sat with me, I am now his buddy.

None Scale Victory, meaning being able to get into smaller clothes, doing things that would take twice as long before, going for long walks without getting out of breath, taking the stairs two steps at a time. Those kind of things and more.

Decided it was time to clean out the closet, all my clothes had started to drown me and I was putting off replacing items for as long as I could. Well now I'm within 38 lb of my goal weight I decided it was time to shop. OMG I am now in a PXL and some of the tops I bought were a Large. I've not been able to wear these size's since I was a teen. My hubby has also lost 85 lb and we had to replace his clothes to, he's gone from a 44 to a 32/34 waist and a 3XLT to a M to L top. I am currently wearing a size 10 Jean haven't done this since I was 18. We took 15 bags of clothes to the good will store as every item we had was way to big.

So went back to writing down the amount of calories I am eating, also noted I was taking it a little more carbs than I should of, so back to keeping myself under 900 calories, since this is what the NUT has me on. I am hoping I'll start losing again.

So I only have 40 lb to get to my goal weight, but the last 2/3 weeks hardly any weight loss. No more then a pound or two,then it comes back on again. I'm walking around 3 miles a day, but its limited to a mid level pace as my hip has been giving me issue since the beginning of weight loss. Does anyone have any good ideas as to how I can get rid of these last 40 pound. Its driving me crazy not seeing the scales move.

Pretty sure, this is more to the right hand side just below the rib cage, its been going on for about a week now, back itself feels fine, and I've lived with years of back issue to know this is different, going to try and hold out till my doctors appointment on the 28th, if I can but if not I'll properly go to a walk in clinic.

Has anyone else had kidney issues since there surgery, I'm 7 mouths out down 52lb have 48 to go, but these last two weeks have had pain in my mid back around the kidney area. So much so that it stops me doing what I am doing. Just wondering if anyone else has had this issue.

I am over them moon, I have gone from a size 22 to a size 12 in less then 5 months, I never ever thought this was possible, I'm still 50lb from my first goal.

So the last four weeks, I've woken up with a sore right hip, today I've notice the left hip is also hurting, I'm 28lb down and not had hip issues before. Anyone got any ideas why or have advice how to deal with it.

Surgery Jan 20th, leaned forward in the car to pick something of the floor, (it was a shock to me) not been able to do that in 10+ years.

So as January 20th, I've lost about 28lb, seems I am a slow loser. But as of the last week or so I have had a headache every day plus the feeling of nausea on and off during the day. I am eating my 60+ grams of protein and drinking 58/64 oz of fluid but still can't shift the headache's or sick feeling. I put it down to being hungry, yet with eating and getting in my 20+grams of protein each meal I am not sure its that. Does or did anyone else feel like this.?

I was referring to when we had met our goal weights not while losing weight, I know we must not drink while eating currently, But I know at least 6 past gastric patients (now 3-6years)patients, that have met their goal weights and they all drink with their meals and some of them have breads and rice's. My doctor also pointed out we can drink right up till we eat because this cause's us to feel fuller, therefore making over eating near impossible. I also never drink for at least 45/60 minutes after a meal. I was just wondering if any past op folks have been able to do this.

So I am in early gastric bypass phase, I E only 2 months out, My questions are first as time goes on can you ever drink with a meal or is this something that will always be drink before you eat and wait an hour after eating. Secondly will breads, Pasta, rice and potatoes something we will never be able to eat again or will I be able to eat them in a year or so times. Any feedback would be welcome.

Are you having issue eating them or you just have no desire to eat? I am just starting back on solids and nothing is appealing to me, I'm having to force myself to eat, once or twice I've had a desire for something but once I've got the food in front of me, I don't really want it. My husband had the sleeve done and he has had none of these issues. I wish I could offer advice but I think I am in the same place as you at the moment.

I try to avoid counting them towards fluid, though sometimes I've added them because, drinking has been a major issue since surgery, I use to be able to drink 88oz of water daily, sadly since surgery my stomach doesn't like water, it sends it into spasms, I've been able to drink milk, coffee and V8 diet splash ok. I've tried adding crystal lite to water but it doesn't help with the spasms.
