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.

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!

I'm a month out and I've lost 23 pounds, I was 270 when I went in for surgery and now I'm 247
Is that a decent amount of weight?

The challenge may be over but wanted to post my # since getting sleeved Monday.

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.

Hurrah!!!!

Hi everyone!
Not sure if I've posted here yet but I was sleeved on June 16th. It's crazy to think it's almost been 4 months! I've lost about 60 pounds and I fit in XL clothes (almost L) and size 14 pants after being a size 22 almost 24 and wearing 2XLs. It's been surreal! The before picture is actually after my surgery in Mexico and I was already about 8 pounds down... sadly I don't really have a true before picture.
I honestly haven't been the best about keeping track of my Protein and calories but I'm pretty sure at first I wasn't doing so well maybe 500 a day now I think I'm at about 1000. I was originally very low carb but am now whole food plant based and have found that I've actually lost weight on it and really enjoy what I'm eating rather than always doing 'protein first' and basically only ever being able to eat meat.
Anyway I'm still working on it! I have to say it was a shock when I tried on pants and was a size 14. I mentally really thought I was the same size and was putting off shopping until the very last second.
But it's really cool to see where everyone else is at! Although it's been hard, I don't regret this decision for a second.

Gave away 4 bags of clothes last weekend. Never want to see them again.

My wife told me my clothes are too big and it looks ridiculous. I asked how ridiculous, she said I look like a little kid trying to wear my dads clothes.

Mi had steak at 4 weeks with the Doctor's permission. It was amazing!

@Joann454 I am just a 'mouthy' pre-op on the liquid diet....lol....3 days until surgery.
I just remember from my successful dieting times that after a certain time I would slip back into trigger/bad foods and it was usually based on three things - boredom food rut, sudden fear from unwanted attention to my changing body, or anxiety from something I was trying not to face.... (like bad habits will actually help ANY of those issues).
Hang in there.

I have started eating small quantities of sweets- like a scoop of sherbet or 2 chip ahoy Cookies. I track everything I put in my mouth and my dr actually said it's ok as long as I follow Protein first and really limit carbs to 25% or less of my caloric intake.

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$

How come you can't have the dinner you made? Unless you breaded the chops it sounds on plan. Am I wrong? Maybe this is part of my struggle.
So you asked what happens before I eat the bad food. The thing is, nothing. It's easy to eat lousy and requires more work (planning and preparation) to eat well. Also, once I eat carbs I crave more carbs and then I feel awful when I eat them AND because they're usually not dense I can eat much more. It's literally everything I've read on here since I joined. The good news is I did really well today. Got 100 grams of Protein in and all my Water and a walk. Emotionally I feel better just by taking back some control. Thanks for helping.

I can only speak for myself but as the newness wears off I know I will probably fall back into my same routine as well. That is why I try to mix up the routine as much as possible like any addiction complacency is a killer.
