60&goin4it

@@anewme2015 I don't eat near 1200, probably closer to 900-1000. My loss is around a 1/2 lb a week, depending on how much walking I do if any. I don't eat much at a time like I use too. I try to quit as soon as I feel slightly full. I notice I snack more than I use to. I try to only snack healthy, but when the company is here I get into their snacks. Not good. I bought some healthy choice fudge bars 80cal, & eat one a day, which seems to satisfy my sweet tooth. Normal, not sure yet.

@@chavonjb Good to hear from you! You look great in your picture!!! I just have 12 lbs to goal too! This is the hardest of them all! We will get there!!!

@@anewme2015 I know what you mean, snacking seems to feel better on my stomach than meats & meals which I don't seem to be able to eat much of, always go back to soft foods for me, which may or may not be the best. Greek yogurt is a staple as cottage cheese along with my daily protein shake with coffee. I also eat a lot of chili & soups. Frozen 80 cal fudge bars I love! The trouble I have is we have a lot of company since we live on the lake & I'm always buying chips etc. for them! Need to stop, because what ever is left over when they leave if they don't take it, I munch on!!!! I don't like to waste sadly, the clean your plate & all the starving kids syndrome i still struggle with. Our appetites are coming back & the more you eat of carbs, sugar etc. we will want! Still a struggle!!!!! @@kaitlynm Your weight loss has been really good!!! I think your right about the protein, its so hard to get enough! I forget to use the protein powders in stuff & I have the unflavored! I guess I need to set it out where I can see it to remind myself!!!

Well I went to my 6 month check up today. 177 yea. They go buy % of what you have lost.. They said they liked their patients to be at 50% at 6 months of their weight loss since surgery. I'm at 65% so they were very pleased with my progress. I don't go back until its a year. They said I should have no problem getting to my goal of 150 by then, especially if I would get back to my walking, I told them I had been slacking off! Anyway hope you all have good reports at your 6 month!

@@395Ron Hey Ron, I was wondering about that too, I have heard of some doing that but not sure what it is! Hope all your health problems are getting better! Good to hear from you!!

@@anewme2015 Well said, & I too have no problem with sweets or carbs, although I don't eat as much of them as prior to surgery. I'm considering the arm lift for plastics, but won't do anything till I'm a year out from surgery.

Well, here we are, for most of us almost to the 6 month mark! I never thought I would be under 180 again & here I'am. The last 2 months it has been a crawl for me getting here but its still coming off! I'am more active now, moving more, & feeling great!!!!! I haven't been walking like I should still!!!!! So probably why its slowed down so much. Food does not control my life anymore, which sometimes I wish I enjoyed eating more than I do when we go out to eat but I just don't!!! I do get hungry when I haven't eaten in a while but is quickly remedied with a few bites of something. I still try to get my protein in but is still a struggle. I usually don't eat much more than a cup of food at a time. My solid meats still fill me up quickly. And eating slow is still a struggle & I get that stuck feeling when I do eat too fast. I haven't had any problems with any kind of food, except things that give you gas. Gas seems to be my biggest problem so far with this surgery for me. I had refried beans the other night & so glad I was at home. My stomach bloated out terribly. My body looks so much better in cloths now. I'm between a size 12 & 14 in pants & M & L in shirts. Out of cloths, well lets just say I won't be wearing a bathing suit. My arms are the worse, I think I could fly with these wings, inner thighs, thank-god for spanx, & breasts, I think most women have the same problem after giving birth & age but thankful for good bras which are wonderful for this!!! So I haven't heard of a good surgery for underarms but when I do I may have something done to them, other than that it is what it is. My hair loss has slowed down as with the weight loss. Feeling so much better now has made every sag, wrinkle & even the gas worth having the surgery. My self esteem is so much better & I feel like the old self is back!!! I hope you all are as happy with this surgery as I'am! I'm so thankful for each & every one of you! You have made it so much easier going through this! I wish you nothing but success & can't wait to hear from everyone, especially as we meet our goals!!!! Have a wonderful 6 month anniversary everyone!!

@@steph_anie Gosh You have done fabulous! Congratulations!!! I have slowed down my weight loss mostly because I'm not exercising like I should, my bad, need to get with it!!! Won't be long & you will have met your goal!!! Thanks for sharing!

@@jjod Yes, I get hungry now when I haven't ate in a while, but not like I use too!

@@395Ron Wondering how you are doing?

@@whoahbabyy It is nice to have support! I bought some new cloths on sale & my husband said I deserve it! :-)! I did better than I expected over the holidays, took a bite of everything that didn't have sugar & had no problems eating anything!! I'm enjoying drinking coffee! 1 cup a day divided into 2 cups with my protein drink! I'm finally feeling thinner too!! I feel so much better! yea us!!!

@@Laughingmyassoff2015 You are doing fantastic!!! Don't you feel better all ready! Amazing, so grateful too!

@@miiasan Thank-You, I eat all fish but I guess I will wait awhile like you suggested & see later. Someone said it may because it can be kinda rich so we will see!

@@whoahbabyy can you drink the premiere protein vanilla shakes? It taste so good 1/2 & 1/2 with coffee. It gives me 2 cups to enjoy in the morning without going over my 1 cup limit, & maybe coffee isn't so bad diluted with protein shake!! . They only told me caffeine is dehydrating, but since I drink all my water I figure its ok. I think you should still enjoy your tradition on Christmas morning its not that far off from Jan 14, just make sure you drink plenty of water!

@@Mogwaicat Glad you finally found something to drink, the protein seems to be the most important other than water!! I bet the weight will start falling off of you even more!!

@@whoahbabyy Congratulations!! Good work! I don't want sweets either! thats a good things. I know I'm not suppose to drink coffee but I just started drinking a 1/2 cup every morning with the rest filled up with my vanilla protein shake for breakfast! Big coffee drinker so I have vowed to never go over 1 cup total forever. I know I know I can't be perfect & its cold out side!!! I can't wait to get under the 200 mark either. I weigh tomorrow so I will see where I'm at!!

@@kvoneye & @@Onelife I think we are all loosing around the same, hopefully we will just keep on! @@sleevemylife I'm glad you got it figured out & on your way to having more energy!! Your weight loss is great!! Congrats on the awesome #s! Get rid of the too big cloths!!!

@@Gigs525 Let me know what your nut says! I was at 1/2 cup at 4 weeks too & still at 2/3 cup at almost 9 weeks.

@@Bigguy9347 Good to hear you are doing well!! My husband & I live in Eagle Rock Mo. on Table Rock Lake. The weight loss thing can be discouraging. I lost 5 lbs by week 2 after surgery. I was so bloated after the hospital. I'm 2 months out & have lost 22lbs. I only weigh 1x a week (the day of my surgery) to not get discouraged. I was able to start walking at 3 weeks for 30min a day & I'am now up to 45min. 6x a week. Just keep doing what they want you to do, it will start coming off. I believe the slower the better anyway. I usually post in the Oct. list of surgery's in pre op with other's who had surgery around mine. lots of good info there!!!

@@SleeveandRNYchica & @@Cali_Angel I know how you feel, I was there at the very beginning, only 5 lbs the 1st 2 weeks after surgery & it seemed everyone else had these big #s. I hope you guys are staying away from the scale every day. But if you are & its the weekly not loosing, Its frustrating & I know it seems like it won't ever move but it will! I have faith in us! Don't let those old feelings of not being able to loose get you down!!! We are here for you both!!!! In this together & I hope when I get down you will help pick me up!! Hugs to you both!!!! @@Mogwaicat How are your mood swings coming? Feeling better? Hugs to you too!!!

@@WillieBradley Your weight loss is fantastic! Keep up the good work!!!! I was thinking about the before & after picture's too! I think I will wait until I reach my goal!!

I was eating 1/2 cup of food per-meal from 2 weeks to 6 weeks post RNY Surgery. I'm now eating at 7 1/2 weeks post surgery, 2/3 cup at a time. My nut. wants me to be eating 1 cup of food per meal by my 3 month appt. Does this sound right? I thought I wouldn't be at that point not until about 6 months. Curious as to what other's eating amounts is during a meal.

@@toasty Thank you for the feed back, nothing has come back up for me yet, but I think I will stay at 2/3 cup for a while before i move on to more. I have a protein shake for breakfast too which I have always done. I seem to do better with 1 snack a day in the afternoon of a low fat mozzarella string cheese.

@@miiasan I miss my salads!! I can have it at 3 months. Gosh that must be hard having more than 3 meals a day having to wait 30min before & after, but it must be the only way to eat more right now. Everyone is different. I had the RNY.

@@kjacobs I use the Unjury unflavored & it doesn't seem to have much to me!!! I add it to a lot of things!
