185 sooooooo close to my goal... I'm really excited ????

I am still in my pre-op stage. My 3 and final appointment with the dietician and the surgeon is on the 8th.... At that appointment they will be submitting my all of my stuff to Aetna. I went be having the surgery until the end of February cause I will need my tax return to pay for my copay of 1600... I'm so glad that my battle with obesity is almost over ???????????????????? from the various post from here and Facebook support groups I have learned to strictly follow the diet plan and to go hard with exercise the first 6 months cause that's when the most of the weight comes off. I Never really had a problem with losing the weight.... the problem was keeping it off. I believe the sleeve will aid me in that because it provides restriction. I am very optimistic and I believe I will succeed..... I have eliminated pop. From here on out I will be working on portion control and sweets..... that way I can have a handle on it now....... Age: 34 HW: 305 (2012) CW: 280 GW: 150 HEIGHT: 5'8" All advice is welcome!!!!!!

Awesome.... I'm lower now. Weighed myself Tuesday and was 189. Going to weigh myself today but don't want to lol..... Only doing it because today marks 5 months post op

196.....these photos were taken on June 6th....I believe I have lost a couple more pounds ????

I figured it out lol... The pics are me at 273 & 196.... I'm not at goal weight but still proud of what came off with the sleeve......

OK gotcha.... Everyone is different... I was eating that amount of calories for a while. My number just recently increased up to 800. I believe my low calorie intake was due to not being able to tolerate anything really.... Meat in particular. So I was eating light Greek yogurt with unflavored Unjury giving me 30 grams of protein per yogurt cup... I had 2 of those a day given me my daily minimum of 60grams. Inbetween that I would have some type of fruit or veggie..... From what Ive read a stall is no weight loss for 3-4 weeks..... And I didn't hit any... The longest period I had euthanize weight loss was about a week. On June 27th I will 5 months post op and down 80 since surgery and including my 3 month preop diet I'm down 100. I started at 293. Surgery weight was 273 and my current weight is 193. My goal was 155. I would post pics but I don't know how to on posts lol. If you go to my profile they should pop up... I think I might look too small at that weight because I am 5'8". The only advice I can give is to listen to your body, aim for 60-80 grams of protein and get in 48-64 ounces of water. My doc suggested that per serving my fat intake be 3 grams or less and my sugar be 5 grams or less.....I believe the week I didn't lose anything was because that week those numbers increased... So for the long post lol... Was trying to get everything out lmao ???? good luck on your journey ????

I put in a little more than half a scoop to light Greek yogurt. Witgbthose 2 combined that gives me a total of 30 grams of protein for tgat one yogurt cup...... I would have one more for lunch that gives me my daily minimum of 60 grams for protein.

I was doing around 400-500

You have to just let It pass

I mix unflavored Unjury in my yogurt....

One week

Update: I made it to onederland ???? current weight is 194

Yeah you are good

Lol How far out?
