http://healingafterbariatricsurgery.com/ Hey guys it's Jaysen here.. I'm just checkiing in to say hi and to wish you May Peeps a Happy Labor Day... That link is to my new weight loss surgery blog.. Please go check it out and share.. And if anyone is interested in guest blogging or telling their story please inbox me.. I'd love to hear from ya...And 4 months in and down 111 lbs now.. Whoop Whoop!!!!!

Today is first time I've weighed myself and didn't have a loss.
I'm 4 months post op and have lost every week since surgery. But not this week. Uh-oh is what I'm thinking, and panic is setting in.
Why didn't I lose ? What did I do different? Is this it , now back to the old struggles? Of course I am not able to eat large amounts of food but my appetite is slowly returning and that really scares the you know what out of me.
This thread has been really quiet , hope everyone is well.

I'm 3.5 months post op. Down 60 lbs from highest weight. I'm averaging about a 2 lb weight loss each week.
As long as scale continues to go down I'm ok with 2 lb a week.
Continue to struggle with getting Protein and Water in each day. Even with some says being a struggle, no regrets here.

I wanna say , wow , 26/28 down to 14/16 , amazing. U must feel great. I fortunately had many different sizes in closet due to my constant yo-yo dieting. I did donate 5 large bags full of clothes to goodwill. So I'm limited as to what clothes I have left.
I say go ahead and shop a little. Just shop on the cheap , consignment shops , stores like old navy and places that carry things for $10

Congratulations on being in Onederland!!!!!

All I can say is Wooo Hooo! Totally did a happy dance this morning!

So I had my 3 month check up with surgeon last week. Had blood work done a week before seeing doctor
Results of blood work were perfect with the exception being my prealbumin levels ( this is Protein levels, for those who may not know )
Doctor says this is a little low. No surprise, I expected my protein to be low Still a struggle to get in all in
But , a little low is better then TOO low.
Total weight lose 54.8lbs.
PS. Salonboi..... Amazing pics.

My nurse told me I could have a whole box of sugar-free Popsicles if I wanted ????. It's the same as having Crystal Light or something like that. Hope the cheese snacks are good... Definitely let us know!

Surprise!!
I just read everybody's posts and have been so happy to hear the things you all have to say!
I know I haven't been very active lately but I've been trying to juggle work and my summer classes and that's a struggle in itself!
My 3 months will be on August 11th and I can't believe how far I've come since!
I've come down from a size 22 to a size 16 in jeans and shorts:)
I bought a large dress the other day that actually FIT me!
I wear an XL in most t-shirts still but I am a-okay since I used to wear 3X
I am hanging out around 260 which puts me at a total weight loss of 70 pounds! This is already half of my excess in just under 3 months and that makes me so happy!
I have started having issues with snacking! But I'm also not too worried!
I attended my sisters 6 month post-op RNY appointment with her yesterday and learned a lot of valuable stuff at it :') my sister has already had to begin maintenance since she's lost more than 70% of her excess body weight! This made me super excited for her but also made me a little relieved. I was worried I wasn't losing fast enough but after hearing about how they thought she lost too much too fast made me feel better about the progress I am making!
I am so glad I have all of you in this with me :') we got this!

Kay's Naturals is a line of Protein Snacks , pretzels etc. taste pretty good. From Amazon

Salonboi. I hear that. I have tried a few pretzels but I will say , I am not routinely snacking. I haven't had bread , Pasta, rice, etc since surgery. We do have to be careful. Past experience has shown bad habits creep back in easily.

Hey wow , wondered where you've been. So funny, to not have an appetite. I too have to force myself to eat. Some days I actually forget that I haven't eaten.
105lbs that's incredible. I remember you went through a lot after surgery with your leak and everything. Nice to know things are going well for you now.

I am still figuring out what I want. I still love shrimp, steak (but it hurts me to eat it) chicken, eggs are ok. I am sort of boring with my meals. I really only get hungry once a day and that is at dinner time. One biggie that I used to love but now don't is Water. I used to guzzle water right out of the faucet. Now, the minute amount I have to swallow to take my meds repulses me. I am ok with add-ins. Just no plain water. Sigh. I love the Protein drinks. I think I would be fine just drinking them forever (or at least a very long time.) I don't really want to eat most days. I know I should be eating more solids but I just don't want to. I would probably lose faster, huh?
My sugar addiction is gone. I don't want most fried foods. (Chips still scream my name but I can walk away.) I am down 70 lbs from my highest weight. My surgery was May 6th. I have tons of energy and don't need as much sleep. I will work until midnight then be ready to get up by 5 or 6 am. Sooo unlike me!!!
