I'm 2 years 1 month out. I reached my goal of 150 in August. I am at 146.6 ATM. I've read it can happen 2 to 3 years out. I read weight gain can average at or around 20 lbs. I'm not sure if this is true or not.

I was 291.8 7 days after surgery. HW was 320.0. Goal weight was 170.0 to be at normal weight/ BMI. CW Is 145.6. I used the weight calculators too.

Good luck on your journey.

You look amazing! Great work!

60 pound loss in 6 months. I weighed 298 a week after surgery date.

Thank you!

I'd try some hot Water. If that doesn't help, call your Doctor or seek medical attention.. chicken was hard for me to eat as well. It stil is really.

I went to Maidenform outlet store. 4 bras for 80.00. I am a B cup as well. They had beautiful bras. I also bought the t skirt bra from third love. It was around 60.00. I wish I'd found the Maidenform bras first. If you don't need 4 bras, they let you split the deal with others. My two sisters and I shared the deal.

Thank you everyone for the kind words! ❤️

I have Kaiser. I did not have this done. Never heard of this procedure.

Happy Surgerversary! You look amazing!

That was Great! Thank you!

I will get the deets for you. ( have to feed hubby first) 🤣

I mostly did walking. I'm pretty flabby, so now I need to weight train.

That is awesome!!! What kind of exercise did you do during the weight loss phase? If you don’t mind me asking, what led to the 150lb gain even though it still kept you at a great loss overall?

Well, babies and never losing the weight after each one. Then I gained a lot more during the fat free stage. I thought if I didn't eat fat, I wouldn't gain weight. Duh!

Hello,

I wasn't over 350.0, but I was 320.0. Met my goal weight 22 months out. Goal was 150.0 CW is 148.6.

Oh I see you wanted the deets. Brb

I did split pea, butternut squash and Tomato bisque. I did have to blend it however.

i also made a vegetable Soup. Bone Broth base, then steamed some carrots and tomatoes and put it in my blendtec blender on soup mode.

I know, that is a long time. Hopefully, it will be different for you.

Well done! Keep up the good work!

Yes. I only ate because I had to. food started tasting better at around 6 months out.

Yes! Onederland is the best! Congratulations!

IMHO, Icecream will make you sick! Try to avoid it if at all possible. Speaking from experience.

Congratulations on your journey!

I agree with Nancy. Just do you. This is a personal choice. People will judge, however, that's on them, not you.

You can try hot Water. My sisters trick. So glad she taught me that

Are you really hungry? Or is it the tummy noise? I'm 20 months out and my tummy is still noisy! However, I have not got the hungry hormone back yet. I hope it never comes back!

BTW, I HAD THE GBP, RNY.

Yes. This weight fluctuation is very normal. I was weighing daily, however it created much anxiety for me. My husband suggested trying once a week so I tried that. Much better for me but everyone is different.
