This makes me feel better I'm almost at a year and only 65 down. My surgery weight was 253.

That's pretty much how I'm feeling right about now.

So I had surgery almost a year ago and I'm only down 60 pounds. I do eat appropriate but for the past two months my exercise has decreased tremendously dude to a knee injury. Day of surgery weight: 259 Today 198 I'm only 63 inches and yes I know we can't compare our journey to anyone else's but it's discouraging to read that someone had surgery this past March and is 80 pounds down and I'm almost a year out and barely at 60. I'm sure there is more I could be doing and would love some advice. My one year date is coming up and I would love to be at a total of 75 pounds down but am aware that's probably impossible. When I asked my surgery how much I'm expected to lose she said between 75-80 pounds which would still leave me in the overweight category but not morbidly obese. Any corrective criticism and advice would be helpful.

This gave me hope. I'm seven months out and only down 57 pounds and losing faith.

So I haven't had a single day of heartburn or acid reflux until three days ago and it's so bad that when I drink water it burns to go down. For some reason it started after I took a antibiotic, it had a hard time going down and took a lot of drinking to finally get it down. Seems like more things are starting to get stuck going down. Any idea what's going on?

I'm in the medical field and sometimes things get hectic so I need quick go to easy foods and snack was just wondering if you all could give me some ideas. Currently I eat lots of almonds, boiled eggs and yogurt.

How far out are you?

Just looking for some new ideas not just for breakfast but overall. Would love to hear some of your meal plans from those that have been successful in their journey.

Accident

Yes. I use gas x pills which helps a lot with gas but since surgery my bowel and gas smells have been horrifying to even myself

Yes 3-4 times a week but only the past month.

Great idea! I get all my proteins in but will try harder with everything else

I haven't tracked my fatigue but yes to keeping a journal of the foods I eat. No longer on blood pressure medicine but these are great ideas that I plan to follow. Now that it's been mentioned it might be dehydration as I'm having issues getting all my fluids in. Anyone know why coffee isn't allowed?

I'm so happy to finally have hit another milestone in my journey, being able to cross my legs was probably my most happiest next to this one. I however sometimes get depressed that I'm almost six months out and have only lost 50 pounds. I do not compare myself to other sleevers, I'm just more so disappointed in myself because there are days when the wrong items go into my pouch and this mostly happens right before my period when pmsing. Besides that I am still always really tired and fatigued but have upped my vitamin intake in hopes of gaining more energy and I do eat right majority of the time but after work most days I'm just beat. I don't have a lot of loose skin due to slower weight loss but I'm starting to wonder if I'll continue to drop. My next goal is to get under 200. Here are my current stats: Surgery Day: 259 September 1, 2016 Current Weight: 209

You think 36 pounds in two months is a slow lost? I'm almost five months out and have only lost 50
