I got down to 160 within 30 days , and then a pound every week, I got down to 142-146 in 6 months from 179 surgery date, and am struggling to lose the last 5-10 lb to 135 but it's just a number, and I know I look pretty decent, no lose skin issues , I want to start back in weights again next month and focus on strength training
Hair loss - yes it started at about 4 months out to about 9 months, I layered the hell out of my hair and have cut a lot off as it comes back , I did the Biotin , and 80 grams Protein for most of this time.
By the way I just turned 40, and have an athletic build and previously worked out a lot so when my nut said 135 , she also said depending on my muscle tone I could end up at 140.

Congrats for recognizing you're off track. I'm off track too. I had my sleeve 6/2015. Lost more than my goal and my lowest weight was 147 (too skinny for my 5'10 frame to be honest). I've slid back into terrible junk food habits over the last year in particular and am up to 166. Although I rationalize that this still isn't a "bad" weight, and below my original ultimate goal of 175, it's a slippery slope. 166 this year, 175 next year, et cetera... Started logging my food again today! We can do this!!

I have had a fever twice today. When I stand up to go to the restroom it feels like my intestines want to fall out. Very tender and achy on my lower left side.

It is a daily and weekly pattern of behavior that I strive for. Never perfect, but I'll take this life over my old one everyday.

I'm not sure if you are asking me or not, but I'm doing great! I'd like to get down to 125 lbs and currently I'm at 130.6. Once I cut the soda and got rid of the carbs, it's amazing how well my stomach works!

Seeing all of these before, during and after photos is so inspiring, so amazing! When I was still working up the courage to have the surgery, it was your successes that gave me the faith to go through with it, and I truly have no regrets. I am only five months out from surgery, and I don't know how much weight I've lost. I'm sure that it is at least 80 to 100 pounds, I'm a find out at my surgeons in a couple weeks. But I couldn't help but wish to join in the fun! So here are some progress pics…

4.5 months and so happy!! 91 lbs gone since September 2015. Surgery was in December
I have so much more to lose but I feel so much better.

I am happy for the most part! Some times I do wonder if I should of tried harder, when I have acid bad, I sometimes feel like I traded in problems for other problems , and then there are days I love it, and thank goodness I made this decision, over all I do like my body a lot more and I did get rid of some health issues , I would if again - the benefits outweigh the cons ,

Rocking and rolling here. I am loving this ketogenic diet! With the added fat, I feel more satisfied and have less cravings. I've also found Oh Yeah One bars and they fill me up and are a "safe" treat. Those might help, @@RockinRobin59. One thing I learned through weight watchers years ago was to set a timer for a craving. Give yourself 10-15 minutes and if you still want it, plan it. Just some thoughts...
I've rolled so many days together now that I'm feeling in control again. I'm staying active, walking in the evenings and then a major something on Saturdays. Lately, it's been hiking these East Tennessee mountains. What a hard, beautiful workout!!
Enough about me...glad to hear from you, @@RockinRobin59 and @@2babutterfly !!
Let's make it happen!!

Saw my new dietitian. Loved her. She was very down to earth, very straight forward and direct. Loved that.
I told her about the questions that my trainer has, as far as supplements and such post workout.
She made some small changes in her recommendations for Protein, and changed my Protein powder to a different one that contains extra amino acids for post workout. She also increased my daily protein a bit and increased my carbs a bit.
Tomorrow I have my first session with my new lifting trainer, SO excited!!!
I'm back. HERE I AM!!

I am 4 years post op. Never got to goal (went from 297to 206). Then gained back 40 over the past couple of years. Just hate myself for it. Felt so broken and like such a failure.
Started a modified 5dpt last Sunday. Walking on treadmill every day for 20 minutes (its a start) and keeping calories under 900 but being sure to get in more than the minimum Protein.< /p>
I feel so clear headed, calm and in control again.
Down 12lb, but just feel better.

well, i did great on day 1, then on day 2 i fizzled out at dinner. tried extra hard on day 3 yesterday, did pretty good.
i am no longer concerned about feeling restriction. i know it's there.
i am actually going to be seeing a dietitian next week to formulate a plan for me so i'm feeling much better and in control

Heavy lifting. Weight lifting. Awesome.
I feel seriously revived in my pursuit of weight loss and feel great. I am going to be seeing the head trainer at my gym and meeting with the dietitian there to discuss specific macro nutrient requirements and get a basic training program going.
I know I'll probably never be to the point of looking like a true lifter, but I know I can go QUITE a way from where I am now and that has me on fire!!
I am done with grad school in the spring and i'm happy because after that it's just work (nurse-3 nights a week) and with both kids in school etc I can really devote a couple hours every day to the gym.
SO EXCITED!!!
