289 didn't meet my goal but got out of the 300's so that's definitely something to be happy about

290.6 again, I hate stalling because it's so discouraging, doesn't look like I'll meet my goal at this rate, but I'm gonna keep striving toward it

290.6 :/

287.2[emoji16]

Also can I change my goal to 284

5/5 294.8

299... think I'm in a stall:/

Thank you! congrats to you too!

CW 299

Won't be able to log in tomorrow so here's the weigh in: CW: 304.4

I also had this, the difference is the length of your common channel, it's usually longer 250+ whereas traditional DS is between 100-150. I still say DS but we just absorb more than traditional. The modified is also known as SIPS, so you'll see people refer to that as well. However, my center wants me on low fat too this is due to the malabsorption, you absorb more than traditional DS so full fat doesn't really matter for them. Hope this helps!

Okay great! Thanks!

I didn't have Sleeve surgery, but am very interested in doing this challenge if that's okay!?

Wow that's rough because you're having complications on top of that. I'm sorry, it's a roller coaster ride for sure. I have my good days and bad days, but I have to keep reminding myself why I did this in the first place. I hope you get better! Have you talk to your surgeon? Do they know what may be going on?

Also it has seeds, and I know my plan has seeds off until 2 months

Lol at the pictures of loose skin, and I agree with@OutsideMatchInside loose skin is almost inevitable and you have to come to terms with it (I still worry, but I know I'll have it). Hydration is essential anyways because it's good to stay hydrated and does help skin. As far as lotion and stuff, culturally lotion is VERY important because without it you can see how dry our skin is rather than on lighter complexions not so much, but I will say, exfoliating and lotion adds something to the appearance of your skin to help it look better, it won't snap the loose stuff into place, but can help it look better!

My NUT said try straws at week 2 if it's uncomfortable treat it like foods that make you uncomfortable and try at a later time. She says there's no such thing as "stretching the pouch " it's just straws allow air and air hurts in the tiny tummy. I'm almost 2 months post op and use straws daily, but that wasn't the case until roughly a month because they were uncomfortable up til then. I love it because I'm able to drink more water too.

Yeah this week is the first week on solids and I'm doing way better because I've switched to one protein bar a day and am able to get the rest from real food, and if I miss some I have gene pro to make it up. I started almost around where you are so that gives me even more hope!

When you add it up that's definitely a lot, gives me major hope! What was your surgery weight? Also sooo interesting I've been seeing people have colds their 2nd month which is something that's happening to me right now and I'm almost 2 months. I wonder if it has anything to do with surgery.

It's just interesting to see people's weightloss. I have a bad habit of watching the scale, and others see the weightloss but I just can't. Definitely a roller coaster.

I'm interested in seeing how people did 2 months out in terms of weightloss. Before anyone says so, I'm not comparing myself I'm just a curious person, and this is all new to me and I like seeing all the varying differences.

Same here, although I'm still able to use genpro which is whey. Maybe try protein waters, or soy/plant based.

I've also heard of protein "shots" I think it's Like 2 or 3 oz of a protein water with 20 or 30 gm of protein

Same here, well actually all beef has been rough for me to eat, ground is hit or miss, so I don't even bother most the time.
