Great advice. I teach at a college, I have always been a pacer when I lectured, now I walk around the entire room during my lecture time so I basically get very slow hour and 15 minute walk during each of my classes. My office is also really close to the copy machine so to increase my number of steps that I take every day anytime I print something out I'll walk down to the end of the hallway about 300 steps and back before I go pick something up from the copy room.

I am praying for a quick recovery!

No change.

Three months Out 58 pounds gone. Not exercising as I should, will be working on that.

+2 180. I've been super bloated this month! Ugh !! Hopefully it comes back of by next Monday

I will admit to you all that I am one they got very very little postop instructions were very specific for the first four weeks and then after that I was told and I'm quoting here from the paper in front of me have a Protein Shake under 250 cal for Breakfast have no more than 3 ounces of Protein no more than half a cup of carbohydrate for lunch and do the same thing for dinner. Do not snack do not drink Water for one hour before a one hour after you eat. And that's what it said then go out and have a good life I guess. It's a good thing that part of my training as an instructor is to teach nutrition because at least I know the difference between a good carbs and a bad carb and I'm not going out and eating 3 ounces of bacon and half a cup of mashed potatoes gravy on it. But according to my doctors instructions that's just what I could do because that's all the instructions I got so what do you say about that? So I wake up every day and I think the Lord for BariatricPal because I know that I can find the answers here if I have questions now I'm never going to ask you guys it's okay that my 3 ounces of protein is all bacon because I'm not an idiot I know that that's not right. But I am going to ask you questions like what's the deal about drinking straws how come I'm not allowed to drink with a straw some people say it makes you burp it doesn't make me burp is it going to stretch my stomach? I don't know, so I do research part of the research is asking questions I don't have all the answers you don't have all the answers. But together we can answer enough questions. I do agree with you in that answering stupid questions gets really really old. And I have found in my short little time here that people really do want a way out, they do really want to "cheat". Until I get my food addiction under control, I've had to convince myself that bread, potatoes, Pasta and rice will absolutely kill me. I've put this image in my mind that my little tummy will explode if any of those items hit it. So I stayed away from those nasty things. Doesn't mean I don't want them, but if I can keep fooling my mind thinking that they're going to kill me then I will. and you know what all honesty if I continued to eat bread and pasta and potatoes and rice and sugar it would've killed me so it's really not that far stretch. Good luck to everybody.

Here is a bunch of before and after and still going

happy to be in onederland too. with the lapband I lost 38# before it leaked and failed and could never get below 202.5.sleeved, I am here at last at 195 and working my way down. it is a magic number about fat shame and discrimination... the world in the usa is not kind to large people and it is getting more so. lots of things fit: it has been 15 yr since I weighed this, but I hung onto my clothes and everyday I find myself reaquainted with an old friend clothing wise. or reunited. love and best wishes , may we all get where we are going.

Happy to say that I got below 200 lbs. I am losing slowly but glad to see that 200 go away and moving steadily down.

Hahaha...soup bowls. I have a strapless bra that I put on my head...instant Pope Hat....
I can't wait to have normal sizes boobs again. I'm going to buy a La Perla bra for the first time in 25 years when I'm at or near goal. Love La Perla.

Wow. Great job. Nice to hear from someone who is maintained so well thank you for sharing.

Wonderful NSV.

I had the best thing happen to me this morning! When I got out of the shower, I wrapped myself in a towel and it closed all the way around, even my hips!!!! I cannot even remember the last time that happened. I usually look like a leaky burrito when I get out out the shower. I was so excited that I ran in to show my husband, and he was all "That's... great! What?" He had no idea why I was so excited about it, but he did helpfully point out that I was dripping on the floor.

185. So close to my Labor Day goal of 184. I can feel it happening. Good losing everyone.

My mother gave me a beautiful Diamond ring of hers for my 40th birthday four years ago. I kept meaning to get it sized but never did. Last night I was going to my safe looking for some papers and I saw the box I took a pretty ring out of the box and put it right on my finger it fits!
