    I had my gastric sleeve done January 11th. I weighed 333.1lbs.

    I'm 10 months post op now and weigh 144.2lbs.

    I've set new goal weights as I've gone along...first was just to get under 200lbs, then I thought I wanted my goal weight to be 180lbs. When I got there, I made the crazy goal of 150lbs never thinking I'd make it....but I did. So then I figured my goal would be 145lbs which puts me at a normal bmi...which I haven't been since I was around 10.

    Now that I weight 144lbs, I've decided my final goal will 133lbs, which will mean I will have lost a total of 200lbs....and I'll do it, I know I can.

    I never thought when I had surgery that weighing in the 130's would even be possible.

    I've gone from wearing sizes 5-6x, and 28-30, now I wear smalls and mediums and am a size 8....I would be around a 6 if it wasn't for the large amount of skin I have around my stomach and thighs....but it's a price I'm more than happy to pay.

    I've been extremely disciplined this whole 10 months. I can honestly say I've never put a bad food in my mouth...not once. I follow a very low carb diet still, drink about 85oz of Water every day and get in around 80oz of Protein. I take all my required Vitamins daily.

    The gym has become a big part of my life. I workout around 5-6 days per week doing a variety of exercising....spin class, step attachicon.gif ImageUploadedByBariatricPal1479186898.843537.jpgattachicon.gif ImageUploadedByBariatricPal1479186913.138458.jpgclass, yoga, cardio machines....I like doing different things so I don't get bored.

    Anyway, because I'm so close to goal, I just wanted to share this. And for the people who have a lot of weight to lose like I did....remember, you can do this! I'm living proof!!

    I am in the same boat. I started my liquid diet last week and only lost 2 lbs out of the 10 I have to lose by Monday. I have no clue how I am going to lose the weight required by Monday. Please update. I am crossing my fingers for you!!

    I weigh tomorrow and I am nervous and scared. I'm praying for 5 lbs down. I'm diabetic and have an insulin pump, I've had some really low numbers so I know my carbs have decreased but holy moly am I worried. Good luck to you and I will let ya know how it goes tomorrow ????

    I was talking with a friend of mine tonight about all of the changes I have been making and when I told her no caffeine she asked why. Ya know I didn't have an answer for that. Then it occurred to me I don't remember being told why in any of my classes or appointments. Besides the fact that it isn't good for you, does anyone know any other reasons why we cut out caffeine ?

    Starting weight is 304 and today it was 305.4 after 6 days of no food and only shakes, Water and crystal lite. 170 calories 16g Protein and 21 g carbs. I have 5 of these a day

    This math is not adding up. If that's all you've had then you have lost weight and the scale isn't reflecting it for some reason. Maybe period coming, maybe you're retaining Water? Did you weigh early in the morning? Even if you're having that many carbs/day you have still lost weight. Was it on the same scale? I would say all you can do is stick to it and I'd expect to see a drop at some point. Weight is weird like that, it fluctuates.
    I'm going to stick it out. I want this surgery too much to be at this point and give up. It's discouraging when I don't see results though.

    To be honest this is the only diet I haven't cheated on

    I mean if you don't lose will they give you more time or is it just over?

    If it's really do or die time I guess all you can do is decrease your shake intake but that seems crazy to me. At 304 there's just no way you gained on this plan. I would assume this is a glitch in the scale but if this is your one shot then I guess do whatever you can.

    I think they will give me more time.
