Like you, I was so excited I was finally losing and weighed myself everyday(multiple times). Im 6 weeks out and still experience short stalls. The one benefit I found from weighing myself daily was evaluating what I ate or how many calories when I broke my stalls. I still weigh myself almost every morning when I first wake. I'm trying to get myself to checking my weight weekly but I'm kinda obsessed. Sleeved 8/10/17 HT: 5'2 HW: 214 SW: 212 CW: 192 Goal: 155

My weight has been all over the place for the past 10 years, so i have a variety of clothes I can still wear as I slide down the scale... Sleeved 8/10/17 HT: 5'2 HW: 214 SW: 212 CW: 192 Goal: 155

I was sleeved on 8/10 and have lost 20 since surgery also. Had a couple of stalls here and there but stuck to the meal plan. I found it easier to focus on the percentage of weight I lost towards my goal(vs. total lbs) and it helped me alot. In our shoes any weight loss is good. Just try your hardest to hit your protein and water goals! Sleeved 8/10/17 HT: 5'2 HW: 214 SW: 212 CW: 192 Goal: 155

Great job!!!! Sleeved 8/10/17 HT: 5'2 HW: 214 SW: 212 CW: 193 Goal: 155

Thank you. Im going to walmart ASAP?

That sounds yummy. I have to try that one. I've never seen or heard of it. Do you buy in the store or online?

I dont think you will know for sure until you start losing more weight. Not sure how much race factors in. Its probably more about how much you lose and how much smaller you get. What is your goal(total # of pounds)? Sleeved 8/10/17 HT: 5'2 HW: 214 SW: 212 CW: 193 Goal: 155

Its simply awesome!!! 30 g protein, 1g sugar, 5 g carbs

I buy premier strawberry and cream. It's low in sugar and taste pretty good! Sleeved 8/10/17 HT: 5'2 HW: 214 SW: 212 CW: 193 Goal: 155

You may have become anemic. Are you taking your iron supplements? Sleeved 8/10/17 HT: 5'2 HW: 214 SW: 212 CW: 194 Goal: 155

I think you look great. At the end of the day you have to get to the weight that makes you HAPPY and HEALTHY because nobody knows exactly how your body feels but you when you are having issues caused by being overweight. Keep doing what you are doing. Hopefully your husband will realize how important it is for you to reach your goal. Good Luck!!! Sleeved 8/10/17 HT: 5'2 HW: 214 SW: 212 CW: 194 Goal: 155

I am 5 weeks post op and starting to feel really good about myself again. I 24. As a young woman, I always had curves but they were all in the right places but about 10 yrs ago, it became harder and harder to loose weight and the old tricks(including diet pills) became less effective. About 4 yrs ago I was diagnosed with a begin pituitary tumor which caused my body to produce excess amounts of prolactin(hyperolactinemia). Essentially your body thinks your pregnant. Even though the condition became controlled with medicine. Losing weight remained an issue and I slowly creeped up from 185 to 214over 4 years and just couldnt get out of the 200s. Fast forward to today, I'm down 18 pounds post op and starting to notice results. I attended an anniversary party yesterday and was able to wear a medium. I bought the same dress earlier this summer but needed an extra large. And at the dinner and in general I'm able to skip past the rice,pasta and potatoes and make those healthy choices of baked chicken or fish and veggies and salads etc. And its not hard; it has become a way of life for me that I have been able to embrace. So excited about what my new weight lose journey will bring! I know it will take time but I really feel like I can do it[emoji5] Sleeved 8/10/17 HT: 5'2 HW: 214 SW: 212 CW: 194 Goal: 155

I used one week of sick and 2 weeks of vacation. This kept me from sharing if I didn't want to. Sleeved 8/10/17 HT: 5'2 HW: 214 SW: 212 CW: 196 Goal: 155

LiciKitty when I saw my NUT for my 4 week follow up last week she said my min daily calories should be 800 and gave me the range of 800-1000. She also told me I will hit stalls if my calorie intake is too low and that i will need to make slight adjustments to my calories and protein when exercising on a regular basis.

I agree with the one comment. Increase your calories by 100. You have to account for the increased physical activity. Sleeved 8/10/17 HT: 5'2 HW: 214 SW: 212 CW: 196 Goal: 155

You look amazing!!!! Congratulations Sleeved 8/10/17 HT: 5'2 HW: 214 SW: 212 CW: 196 Goal: 155

Congratulations on your 10 years of sobriety. Your new wls is definitely going to be challenging at times but the end results will be more than worth it!!! Not sure which diet phase you are in but there are lots of great bariatric recepies out there. May be you can find a sensible alternative this is safe for your new tummy. Stay strong you can do it?

My Nutritionist told me I need to make sure I'm getting a minimum of 800 to 1,000 calories daily or I won't lose. Also, when exercising I need to make slight increases to my calorie and protein intake to account for it. Hope this helps... Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app
