I am so disappointed with myself. I feel like I haven't given this my all. I've eaten carbs and sugars. Not every day of course but I still have them. I hate that I have had them. I really need to reset my mind and my pouch. I'm only gonna be 4 months out which makes me feel even worse. I've been the same weight for 2 weeks now. So I am officially resetting my mind effective Monday when I return to work. I will go back to Protein Shakes and liquids all week. I've got to get this scale moving before my 4 month check up on Jan 4.

Happy New Year!! 2016 to be the best year ever! I'm finally 189 lbs after 3 long weeks. My New Year end celebration was very good, went out with my husband and I actually felt pretty and comfortable in my own skin. I only had half of a margarita not bad at all.

Here is my progress at 157 surgery 3/23/2015

Hope everyone has a great new year and keep up the good work

I'm not sure. The doctor never gave us a set amount to lose in the first few months. He only gave us our final weights for our year. He wants her at 130 to 140 by October of 2016. For me at 5ft7in he wants me at 140 to 150. Hope that helps ya

To all reading this post, quick update, throat is 100% healed. Was the pain worth it...absolutely! My progress is nothing short of phenomenal and I am daily grateful to God for blessing me with this surgery Sending everyone love and happiness!

I had my 4 1/2 month follow up appointment today and all my blood work was good. Only thing I need to add is the Vitamin B12 super excited!! I have lost a total of 61lbs since I started my pre-op diet. I weighed today 192 lbs at my doctors office. This last weeks have been hard since they are food everywhere, but good thing I was able to lose couple of lbs instead of gaining. I need to stay focus cause I feel like this is where I could slip and start old habits. I need to go back on tracking every single thing I put in my mouth. I been doing good to stay away from carbs. However exercise not to good. I need to commit to do at least some walking. Wishing everyone Happy Holidays!

Merry Christmas

I had a great gym week 4x there. But scale is 203

2 hours for me this week weight 202

I was sleeved 6/25/15. These are my first before and afters! I have lost 105 lbs, down from a size 20-22W to a 10 in 6 months. Working out 5 days/week and I have adjusted my goal to try and lose 13 more lbs for a goal of 160 lbs!

I've been going through the same thing as you -- I have been snacking on things that are basically the only things I can eat in normal portions (ice cream; pound cake). The thing is, I only had one stall and I've consistently lost 1.5-2lbs every single weak since my surgery in July (I've gone from a size 22/24 to a size 12). I've also had extreme fatigue when I get in less than 800 calories -- to the extent that I cannot get out of bed.
I don't want to complacent because I know this will catch up to me, but I don't want to lie to myself and say that I'm going to do something completely untenable like go on a liquid fast...
My plan is to let myself run out of the Snacks and to let go and not buy them again. I also want to plan meals around Protein from fish and vegetarian (soy) options.

Why wait till Monday?!

It is good that you're committing to staying on target for your diet, but the other thing to remember is that you're not expected to be 100% perfect 100% of the time.
We all got to the point of needing bariatric surgery because we had serious issues with food. The surgery isn't going to magically solve all of the problems - the reasons we crave crummy food, the compulsion to binge, the head hunger - the only thing it helps control is portion sizes. Losing weight and keeping it off is still going to be hard work.
Eating a few bad things every once in a while isn't going to ruin what you're working towards, but getting super negative and down on yourself isn't the answer. You're human, you'll make mistakes, and that doesn't mean you're a bad person.
So don't feel too harsh towards yourself, rather, use this feeling as a "I'm better than this, and I'm super psyched to get back on track!"
And stalls are gonna happen, so don't think it is always something you did - your body will lose at the pace it decides. And sometimes that will be S-L-O-W as a turtle. You just keep going, keep motivated and positive, and you'll get there!

I had a great gym week 4x there. But scale is 203

I had to buy new belts because my old ones got too big!

The last 2 weeks have been terrible for me for exercise. Especially this week with the holiday. I only did 2 days worth of any type of exercise. My weight was 207 this morning.
A good note is I passed my goal of 208 already!

That's so awesome! I'm finally back to a gym routine. I've made it every night this week. I feel good. Hoping to have a good bm in the next day or so. I've been doing the BOT and let's just say nothing is moving. Hell I'm probably 199 and don't know it cause I can't go lol.

I had my period when I had my surgery done. You simply wear mesh panties supplied by the hospital and a pad. No big deal. Your doctor isn't going anywhere near your vaginal so don't stress it. Don't put off your surgery.

All of my pre-cert requirements are complete! I did my last weigh-in yesterday! Now, I wait for insurance submission which will be around January 7th!
I am so excited...not too much longer now!

I was sleeved 9/14/15 & I'm constantly stalling,
hw 298
Sw 269
Cw 249
I guess I'm considered a slow loser being as though I only lost 20 pounds since surgery but I feel so fricking good , best I ever felt and I'm no longer my heaviest 298 , and a lost is a lost , so whoot whoot lol. Congrats on all of your progress Everyone ????

145 lbs!! My 1 year surgiversary is 12/29!! This was one of the best decisions I ever made!! So proud of all of us who decided to take control of our lives, our weight and our health!!

Oh my I forgot to mention that we went to belk and saw a black Michael Kors dress and my husband and daughter insisted on me to try it on. I tried the large one and it fit!!! Oh my I was so excited. I didn't get it cause I refuse to pay $120 for a dress. Well my daughter found the same dress at Macy and she got it for $49 on sale so she bought it for me for Christmas!! I will be posting some pictures for New Years, that's when I plan to wear it????????????
