Everyone is doing fantastic!!! I went to my GP yesterday and weighed 198, down 40 lbs, 32 since surgery!! I think we are still loosing about the same @@kvoneye !

Good for everyone! I want to be below 200 by Christmas and I was 199. This morning I'm 197. My hw was 256, sw was 227 and today 197. I've been going to the gym these past few days and will continue to go,even though I hate it. I however like the results.

Absolutely amazing results right there.
You've gotta be feeling good.
October 13th 2015 surgery date for me. I was 478 in June 2015 when starting the pre-op diet and 422 on the date of surgery. I am 363 now.
Sure was hoping to make it to 350 before New Years Day.....but I know I'll be there soon.
Heading out to the gym for the first time today.
Feeling really good with my sleeve and grateful for everything.

@@anewme2015 I m in the same boat. I haven't had any problems eating foods which puts me into stinking thinking. I am down 30 pounds since Oct 15 and recently started hitting the gym. I'm hoping to be at 180 by Feb 8, right now I'm 197. If not 180 then as close as possible. How's everyone else?

@@s0rda that is fantastic~~WOW! congratulations May this next year of weight loss be as wonderful.. Keep up the great work!

So I don't post much but felt like I really needed to because I am so happy right now. I went in early to see my surgeon because I was experiencing GERD. He has loosened the reigns and I am allowed to eat whatever my little heart desires, best part is my little heart still wants healthy foods! The good news didn't stop there. I made a goal to be 299 by New Year's Eve I wanted to start 2016 by losing 100lbs. I am so happy that my goal was met today when I weighed in today and the scale read 298. I made it to twonderland and couldn't be happier. My surgeon is so proud of my progress I walked into his office in June weighing 400lbs today 6 months later I walked out of his office at 298. I still can't wrap my head around the fact that I've lost 102lbs!!!
Starting Weight 6/30/2015 - 400
Surgery Weight 10/07/15- 352
Current Weight 12/29/15 - 298

Congrats on breaking the 200 barrier @@60&goin4it I am soooo close. Am hoping to see it soon, though.
I have a problem with Water, too - I set it all out in the morning and start out well enough, then something happens in the afternoon and before I know it 7:00 p.m. has come and gone and I still have 30 ounces to drink lol!
I had my first run in with eating too much and having it come back up. It happened on Christmas Eve of all days. Ate dinner early because I was playing the organ for church and wanted to get my Protein in. Then about 10 minutes later I felt my sugar was low, checked it and it was 58. Since I had only had protein for dinner and was worried about trying to play the organ with low blood sugar, I popped a half a banana down. Argh! I was throwing up off and on all evening.
Thankfully, though, it timed out well enough for me to still play the service Lesson learned - if I had thought to check my blood sugar before I filled up with protein I could have included a bit of carbs in my meal.
I still have a couple of weeks before my next check-up with the surgeon. Definitely want to be under 200 by then!

@@395Ron Your weight loss sounds awesome! I'm so happy that things are turning around for you health wise, walking without a cane is a big step, no pun intended! you deserve the best, such an inspiration!!!

@@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!!!

Just want to say Merry Christmas to everybody. I love reading your updates and helpful tips about what you have been able to eat or what you think you should avoid or even about yourself because I've had a few myself and it feels good to know you're not alone. I hope you have a happy and safe New Year as well! I myself have run into only one time something came up and I think it was because I caught the 24 hour stomach flu that was going around in my area. I ended up trying the same thing later on well after I was done being sick and I had no problems. I can't wait till I'm able to go back to the gym in January I've been cleared for exercise but I had my membership put on hold for the surgery and it doesn't start up until January. I think I feel a lot better once I'm able to incorporate exercise into my life style again. I know that when I was going to the gym to lose weight before the surgery after I made it a routine it really became a good part of my life. And so I want to make sure I get back into that.

Thank you @@60&goin4it!! You are the glue that keeps this group together. We are blessed to have you. Merry Christmas to you and your family. I'm doing well too since surgery October 15th. It still amazes me the changes since then. Losing weight, needing new clothes, being energetic, confident, humble, and sociable. Incredible. We have so much to be thankful for this Christmas! Thankful for others, even those who were negative about our choice for surgery and for those who may not be so happy that we are losing weight. Those are the ones who (subconsciously) push us the hardest. Merry Christmas!!

@@irishaggie I too find myself eating in a rut but I combed through the worldaccordingtoeggface.com website and printed all the recipes that sounded good. I now have a pile of them tp plow through when I get bored.
This week is the first time I weighed the same as the week before. One thing I have noticed is that when someone says they weighed the same as last week and the week before they usually also end up saying "But my body is changing." This is the same for me. I recently got some 2X shirts and they were tight. This morning I noticed a loose-ness to one of those shirts that I don't remember being there so my body is changing.
On a side note I can't believe that I wear my clothes tighter these days. When my weight was going up I would wear loose fitting clothes thinking I was hiding my ever expanding myself from the world. Now I wear stuff that is slightly tight because I know I will be shrinking into it.
Yesterday I wore myself out. I went to Sam's Club and walked around looking at stuff. Then I went to costco and did the same. Then Walmart and Safeway. My hips were hurting last night but feel better today. I did stop at Panera and had some of their delicious turkey chili. I thought ahead and brought my 1/4 cup measuring cup with me. So I sat down at a table (before I would have eaten in the car) spooned the chili into a measuring cup and sat there eating.
The other day we went out to a Mexican restaurant and I ordered a chicken burrito without the tortilla. It was delicious.
I am wishing everyone very MERRY CHRISTMAS and a wonder filled New Year!

Hi everyone! I'm feeling good and loving all the changes with my new body! I'm down 62 lbs from my highest weight which I recorded two weeks before my surgery, October 8. I'm almost to Onederland! I have not been too tempted by the Christmas treats, etc., but find I am in an eating rut. I need to cook more. Hoping to experiment some over the holidays and find some go to meals to make part of my routine in the new year. I hope all of you are well. Keep us posted on your progress!

Haven't posted in a while but tonight decided to get over my hatred of body pictures and start taking them every sunday so I can see the changes. I don't feel them but I know they're there. I know if I don't do this I'll regret it later. So tonight I took 9 and I plan to take 9 more next Sunday and stick to it. It's time for me to love me for me every inch of it!

@@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!

Has anyone had any trouble eating Salmon? I had 1/3 cup of it baked & It came back up. First thing that has done that to me. I thought I ate it slow enough but my body just didn't want it. Strange.

@@queenie's Gosh your weight loss is phenomenal! So glad to hear that!!! It won't be long & you will be at 100!! Thanks for updating us!!

@@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!!
