Take pictures regularly and then look at one pre surgery and a current one- that's how I first noticed it!

I am amazed that my feet don't hurt so much anymore! I couldn't wear any cute shoes because my feet always hurt. Now I have 4 new pair of cute chunky heels that I love! I don't have to wear ugly shoes anymore!

Oh yes.. I actually am 15 weeks out and still get shoulder pain when I eat! It is so annoying! I hope it goes away!


Mich W

Yes! That's perfect. My doctor says 25 lbs the first month and 10 lbs a month after that.

Welcome! Yes you can post here! Great job! 75 lbs is awesome! I hear you! I've been eating a lot more carbs than should. And still struggling with Protein and Water. Exercise is getting better . I love my long walks and am bummed when I can't get in my 10k steps.
To post pics I see a plus sign where I type my post and it lets me choose a picture from the app. I'm on an iPhone but it should be the same.

Right after surgery I was told to just concentrate on getting the fluids in. I was told nothing over 6 g of sugar but to just concentrate on water- i.e. Jello, tea, Protein Shakes, sf popsicles etc count as fluids - now if your blood sugar is low that's another story. Call your doctor if that's a problem. You don't want to go into a coma because your sugar is too low! You may need extra help from your nutritionist, dr or nurse to keep your blood sugar regulated. Give the. A call that's why they are there.

I'm 4 months out and still have trouble staying hydrated! It's a constant battle for me.
I agree peppermint tea was a big help the first week. I still love all kinds of herbal tea hot or iced.

Chili is my go to fast food. Tolerated very well!

That is an awesome calculator. I am right on track

My dr said 25 lbs first month and about 6-10 lbs each month after that is normal. Surgery isn't instant. It is still going to take hard work. I'm 4 months out and have lost 44 lbs. you are doing great.

I am in the same boat I had a bad day Wednesday. It was the first day I didn't log every bite- then Thursday and Friday the same. It spiraled me out of control. I started eating more carbs and snacking. Today is a new day and a reboot$

My preop diet was only 4 days and allowed one meal a day.you're fine.

Hello everyone! Hows everyone doing?! I was 14 weeks post op yesterday ... hard to believe it's that long ... I sometimes can't believe I went through with it! Currently at a stall hoping to get past it soon! Driving me nuts :-) Here is my progress so far ... January vs Last week!

You look awesome!

Things in my life have been so chaotic lately that I lost count of how long it has been since surgery. I felt like I'd been stuck at this weight for a month and decided to look again. So I'm 16.5 weeks out and have lost 44 lbs. the last 2 weeks I've only lost a half pound a week but that's not bad considering the stress and cheating I've been doing. Nibbles here and carbs there.
Taking stock again has made me get back on the ball and focus back on my plan. Anyone else slipping up more than usual? Any victories to report?
I've made it to a solid 10 in pants and a medium or most often a large in tops . Still have another 44 to go to goal.
Please give us an update on your journey.

I didn't wait a year before drinking alcohol as advised. I think I only hung in there around 3 months. I don't drink a lot though, just a glass of wine occasionally.

Sent from my SM-G900P using BariatricPal mobile app

My doc let me drink occasionally at 3 months. So you're not breaking my rules [emoji851]

I cruise Pinterest for craft ideas. I love painting with alcohol ink on washers and make necklaces- just type in alcohol ink washer necklace and you'll see. It's so much fun and cheap. You can mix the colors like paint so you don't have to go crazy buying too many supplies. I'll post some pics when I pull them out for the craft fair next week. You have to seal them with acrylic seller though.

I don't watch my fat content at all. I watch carbs Protein and calories.

Is that Marie Kondo?
I didn't buy the book but read enough online. I did some of the things in it. I can't embrace it 100%, but I do ask if any new purchases 'spark joy' and do I have space for this purchase. There is no way I am purging all my books or my fabric!!!!

So totally true! Photos and craft supplies would be too hard but I will try. Also it's a little "new agey" but I've kind of modified it for myself- instead of thanking the items for serving heir purpose I thank God for using them in my life and to use them to bless someone else. I also couldn't feel comfortable in a bare home- I like my things around me but so want to make sure the things I have around me are the things I love and not just clutter or junk.
