Is anybody struggling now? I feel hungry now, I don't overeat but I do try different foods not chocolate or chips I am not loosing weigh now just staying the same I do however need to lose at least 40lbs I work so many hours at work don't have time or energy to exercise, plus I like to be outdoors exercising and the snow plus cold weather put me off

I am 7 months out I have lost 67 lbs since surgery-I am struggling now! Since Christmas I haven't lost anything and I am crazy hungry all the time Now is when I feel I need support and help

Those first two weeks are horrendous and I was not prepared for them. But this shall pass and you will settle into your new life.

I lost quickly at first then it slowed down-doest bother me and I only weigh once a week I lose about 4 lbs a month now if I am lucky I have 51 lbs to go so by June my anniversary I doubt I will be down to goal I look and feel so much better and my clothes size has gone from 3xl to 12

You look fantastic!

Dehydrated not fatty liver disease-so my fluid has to be upped to more than 64 oz now

I don't have a gallbladder I had it removed years ago. I am seeing my surgeon on Thursday and will see what he says Thanks for the advice

I am diagnosing myself here but I am pretty certain I have non alcoholic fatty liver disease I can review my labs on line and view the trends since surgery almost 6 months ago now My Alk-phos is elevated and increases each time I have my blood work done My ALT and AST are also trending upwards all three tests are elevated above normal ranges I don't drink alcohol and haven't for years and years So the only explanation is I have Fatty Liver Disease! Loosing weight and exercising helps!! but obviously in my case it hasn't My Glucose level is 111 although I have not been diagnosed with Diabetes there is a chance I do have issues there plus my triglycerides are still elevated at 172 post surgery Anybody else have these problems?

I am defiantly the Hare! 63 lbs since surgery 6 months out but 81lbs this year As long as it goes down I don't care how slow

It is lovely-cooked in microwave for 6 mins then use a fork to shred it into spaghetti I will eat it with home made chili or spaghetti sauce-non fat cheese

I eat out a lot with work, I have learned to order carefully and I tend to just pick-My stomach tells me immediately if it is not happy with what I have chosen. I will order steak and just eat until I am full so about 4 oz-I do eat with small amount of potato or veg

I made it into onderland but now I am stuck at just 1lb under and it freaks me out incase I pop back up!!

Congratulations! 100 lbs in less than a year-you must feel like a whole new person! You look like a whole new person!!!

I have decaf, non fat peppermint Mocha The only treat I have or had in 6 months

I am 10 lbs less than my hubby first time ever! Having a stall at the moment but I know it won't last!

For some of us the weight loss is very slow-I stopped weighing myself daily as I would feel depressed and I now weigh myself weekly or when I notice that I am feeling slimmer. I think when I remain the same that it was better than before when I would put on a pound and think well thats not bad! Now remaining the same or losing a pound is wonderful. If you stick to the plan you will loose weight

I am so so happy I hit onederland this morning plus totaled up to 80lbs weight loss this year! This time last year I was just considering bariatric surgery! I made an appt to see the surgeon and I was crazy mad that I couldn't get an appointment until January 22nd! I don't think I ever thought that I would ever see under 200lbs ever again! Yesterday I saw people I hadn't seen all year and the compliments were flying all over the place. I will try and get some before and now photos, I can't say after because that will not be yet For those of you in doubt! Go for it! This surgery has changed my life!!

I did it I got to Onederland today! I am so thrilled

So i have 1 lb to go to get to 199! It is taking forever!!! and ever but I hope to be there by next week

When eating out I tend to go for the grilled meat where possible. I travel for work so it does make it difficult Last night I went to and Irish pub with friends and ordered the Irish Stew-I picked out the meat and ate a few veg plus a small amount of the mashed potatoes and that was it. The other night a group of us went to this Italian restaurant and it was family style-very very hard for me to pick what I could eat. So I stuck with salad and the salmon! I was dying to eat all the rest of the food but I resisted-I have worked too hard to go back to normal eating now!! My weight is so slow in coming off I can't take chances!

After the big initial loss I was losing about 7 lbs per month Now at 5 months and it has slowed down to 4 lbs but I don't gain so I see that it is a positive I imagine I have over a year to go to lose the 58 lbs I still need to lose! Since surgery on 2nd June I am down 58 lbs so I am half way-I had to lose 17 lbs pre surgery

Somedays I see a fat person and somedays I see the new slimmer person! I can't buy clothes by judging the size anymore because I still go for the larger clothes. I don't even know what size I am because I live in leggings and tops I just noticed that large size leggings are loose so maybe time to drop to a medium LOL

Isn't it horrible when a food doesn't agree with you-for me chicken is a problem it feels like it sticks half way down-even chewed very very well. 5 months out and my stomach really appreciates soft food Starbucks non fat mochas make me have violent pains in my stomach and i am ill for hours! Especially the pumpkin flavor I love Quest bars and have 1 per day normally on my drive home from work I am from UK and live in US just recently bought lots of my favorite foods from UK-they have been in my cupboard for weeks and I just don't fancy eating them.

You look wonderful! I am chasing wonderland too-4 lbs to go

You do not want to get Renal deficiency which you could get due to UTI's and dehydration-Go see a DR as soon as you can
