Thank you!
I do feel amazing! (As long as I get all my Protein in, man can I feel it if I dont)
I've been killing it at the gym lately. It is starting to feel good going, vs painful. Slowly but surely.

Inspirational pics! You look amazing and I bet you feel it too! Your daughter is so cute and now you're going to have the energy to really engage with her. Amazing work!

Thank you these were her 2 year old photos.

So since my gym membership, I've only missed 2 days out of 6 days. Lol the weekend was killer.
I fell off the wagon this week with my friend visiting. Gained 3.8 pounds! And I feel like crap! Tired. My face is breaking out. I mean wow.
But my friend left and I'm back on it.
I meet with a personal trainer today (came with my gym membership) to see where I need to be as far as goals and working out goes.

You can do it! Get in the gym! It becomes routine after a few days!

@60&goin4fit.... thank you for the support.. Really thank all of you for the support.

My appetite seems to have returned this week too! I love how every time I check this thread you fabulous people affirm what I'm going through. It's not just me!
Confession: both my kids are sick so no gym yet but I will!! I really will!
And odd question: is anyone else's bones cracking and doing weird things? Lol I wake up in the morning and it's like snap crackle and pop and it's not my Cereal, it's me!

@@SleeveandRNYchica You can tell by the pics its coming off!!!! Yea!!!! I've been snacking lately too! ;-(. Hunger has come back some!!
@@L.Harmony It must be really hard having to have therapy on your foot & school to get any exercise anyway! For some reason & maybe its just this cold weather were having I can't seem to get myself back on my walking schedule & the scale is showing me with the stall I need to! Like @@SleeveandRNYchica said the struggle is real!!!

It's not as fast as I thought it would be, but being a revision patient I was told it would be slower. Plus I really can't complain about 40lbs in 12 weeks!

I'm at a stall.... I started school about two weeks ago and it has interfered with my gym time. That and I've been going to physical therapy for my foot. I miss going I miss having the time to go. I need to get back in there. I just need more hours in a day.

I joined the gym last week and this week stuck in the house because of blizzard. I had my 3 month appt last week. Labs look great, I had to cut back on my B Vitamins and my cholesterol is 120! I am losing hair too. I have lost 28% of excesos weight. They don't like to set goals, but told me at 6 months they like to see 40-50% EWL. I think once I get in the gym. I have been snacking a bit much being stuck at home. Trying to drink plenty of Water. The struggle is Real!

Ok! You've inspired me! I will go to the gym and not just talk about it!!!

@@steph_anie wow, you are doing amazing!!! I sometimes wonder why I was so scared of the surgery to begin with!! I had the Roux N Y. Lots of sleever's on here & everyone seems to be doing well with both surgery's!!

I actually joined a gym today too! Lol. And because I have to pay for it, I will go!!
I went today and it was amazing. I forgot how much I missed going. (Haven't been in almost a year) I'm hoping this gets me off my stall.

I hear you. I joined a gym this week but so far I haven't included exercise into my program at all. I need to make time for exercising! I think as a mom of young kids (3&5) I forget about self-care. And exercise will likely help push us through these stalls.
Ok I'm committing to actually entering the gym I joined! Haha

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 !

Has any one else noticing some Hair loss? Mine isn't horrible but I just started noticing at 3 months more hair on my clothing. No clumps just more strands than usual. Taking Biotin everyday, & getting my Protein in. I'm at a stall right now, for 2 weeks. I haven't been walking as much, so I know what I need to do! Hope everyone else is doing well!!!.

I'm right at 3 months and is starting for me. I'm adding a hair skin and nails. And Vitamin e oil helps too ive read.

My hair is long so the thinning is noticeable to me- not sure if others notice though. It's not like people are going to mention it! Lol
Still having problems achieving a 'balanced' diet and getting in my Protein. My NUT keeps telling me to eat more veggies and carbs but I'm like protein first means I'm usually full from protein. The struggle is real!
I've been in a stall but I am plugging along, following program and trying to get in my Water. I know it'll move eventually but man- it's easier to feel motivated when the scale is moving!
Keep this thread alive October people! (And amazing November people who want to join us!

@@395Ron Wondering how you are doing?
