Here is some years of work. 10 years and still going. Best thing I did for myself!!

Wow!! You look truly amazing!! Great inspiration to me!!

Try not to make excuses, I am not being harsh, but taking responsibility and ownership is the only thing that will help you, yes you work full time jobs that must be hard, but before you have a pee before bed, weigh your food, put them in packages, then eat the same thing for a few days that simplifies it enough. It really is not a long winded afair. I am just being honest, not judging you, as I dont weigh my food unless things are not on track.

Down 230 pounds ya'll feeling amazing!! wouldn't change my decision for the world!

Girrllll you look GOOOOODDD[emoji173]️❣️

Thank you so much!!!! I will keep that in mind watching my calories have been kind of hard for me to do because I been working 2 full time jobs but been focusing on not GAINING!!! But I will definitely start trying to count my calories.

You don't have to be in maintenance if you don't want to be.
It's easy to get "calorie creep" that slows losses. Be sure to track for several days to see where you're at. You want to stay below 1200 to keep the scale moving.
Stalls can still happen for a week or two.. so if your calories are in line, then that may be what is going on.
You're lookin' great!

There are two phases to weight loss surgery, the weight loss phase and the maintenance phase. For RNY gastric bypass patients, the strategy for these two phases is different. You may be nearing the maintenance phase. I transitioned to maintenance at around 7 months. The following article provides my perception of the maintenance phase. http://www.breadandbutterscience.com/Surgery2.pdf

This just encouraged me SO MUCH[emoji30][emoji24][emoji24][emoji24] I am in my 4th week and I'm just ready for the weight to fall off but I know it takes time you look absolutely STUNNING [emoji254][emoji146]

So I'm six months post op I'm down 112lbs!! And I'm having some sex troubles that hopefully someone can help me out with! My fiancé and I have been together 7 years in march and we've always had a great sex life. Ever since surgery and losing all this weight I'm understandably horny all the time, but here's the issue, I can't seem to stay wet or even get wet sometimes. I've never had this issue before. Anyone know why or what I can do about it? Please help!!

So I had gastric bypass Jan 24, 2017 and so far I'm down 76 pounds I am beyond happy and so glad I made the choice to have this surgery, I have 50 pound more to lose to get to my goal weight.
Surgery weight 301
Current weight 225
Lost 76 pounds
Goal weight 175

Just because you don't see a change on the scale, doesn't mean you aren't losing. You may also be gaining lbs. of body mass from your Protein intake. And at the same time you will he losing %of body fat. So don't get discouraged.

If you are working out then you are building muscle. It is not uncommon for those two to catch up with you. It's recommended that you use measurements as well as weight to track progress. The scale may stall for a bit, but inches can still come off. You have done a great job, so I would not worry about the scale.

I look at your direct page EVERYDAY!!! I have an stomach ulcer so I have been slacking with the gym but I walk and run the stairs at my job everyday! I'm writing this just to say THANK YOU YOUR SO INSPIRING TO PUSH THROUGH!

Wow! What are you doing ? My highest was 286 too and I'm 2 months out but I'm just at 247[emoji44] but I've been struggling eating(had an stomach ulcer)

50lbs in a little over 4 months isn't bad. We all lose at different rates. (I had my surgery a month after you and am down 42lbs since the surgery.. so I think we're losing at about the same rate). I get how it seems slow, but it really isn't! Some of us are just taking our sweet time.. but there are probably benefits to slower losses.
Our skin might handle it better (fingers crossed)
Our gallbladders might be happier
Our emotional state might be more calm (I am calmer than before surgery!)
If you get concerned, make sure you are tracking what you are eating, and monitoring your exercise, and tweak when necessary. (Personally my exercise has been quite low, so I have lots of room to increase it).
Watch for those non scale victories too! I have lost 11 inches off my hip measurement!

Seems like a legit amount of weight loss to me. I had surgery 2 weeks prior to you and have lost 92 pounds, but was 25 over pounds heavier on my surgery date than you. Just keep up the good work!!

I was mainly concerned about my liver (and asked my surgeon to show video/photos of it), which I have a high res photo paper of:

I would have liked to see video of the whole thing being done, but it's cool seeing this.. likely the only clear picture I'll ever see inside my abdominal cavity.
