Ok I just posted but a weird thing happened I dropped three pounds over couple days so weird but I can finally see a tiny difference. You guys might not lol but so glad something is finally happening. Since I was a low BMI I was at a crawl past second month. Yes my stomach has loose skin and scars but it looks ok with cloths lol.

Still crawling at snail pace. 8 more pounds to goal.

Trying to level off somewhere around 210. I've been maintaining for a couple weeks and then go down a half pound or a pound. It's the flab on my gut!! I'm 90% certain I'll have TT in the winter...I feel like I won't be "complete" until that flab/skin is gone.

That's great, congrats! Yes, it is much harder and slower when you're closer to goal to begin with. But we're here cheering you on!

Thank you I have been going through some really stressful stuff in my life lately. I am starting to wonder in that stress hormone cortisol is slowing everything down too. All the anxiety has my fit bit measuring four hours cardio just from raised heart rate from stress and anxiety alone . I logged 3300 calories burned yesterday. Lol as horrible as it’s been I should at least get the benefit of some extra weight loss lol.

Well I forgot to update for my three month mark I am at 154 so I guess that’s 26 lbs down. So darn slow it feels like nothing is happening . Yet I have lost 34 since presurgery diet and that means I have lost 66 percent of my excess weight. I know the last will take a very long time to come off.

I feel like I’m constantly stalling too, your surgery day weight was wayyyy less then mine, you’re doing really well, i think! Congrats!

I was told to eat a bit more daily and it’s been helping, plus working out 7 days a week

But you went from 227 to 159 that’s a tremendous accomplishment!

What percentage of your daily intake is carbs?

So far so good! I feel like my weight loss is going slower then i expected, but it’s going !
I’m having trouble getting all the fluids in lately and i don’t know what to do to help that

I need to stress that percentage is such a better indicator. I had low BMI and am 44 and so less to loss and I think as we age we lose slower. But I too get scared that I am done and will not lose anymore weight I have lost maybe 6 to 7 pounds my second month and most of that toward the beginning-of month . So yeah 19 in two months is nothing. But in percentage it makes more sense. That said I really want to start losing

My thought on fat: Fat is Fluffy --Muscle is solid-- that's why muscle weighs more.Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

My surgeon(well actually he's my orthopaedic) says operations are GOOD for people, you are living proof of that! You look fine and dandy! Of course the 1st time I heard Dr Ken say it I thought he was trying to drum up business! He is really a skillful surgeon but when he relaxes he's funny as heck. [emoji6][emoji170][emoji6]

I got level 4. I was unsure also and that one seem to best fit my needs. I have PCOS and already have thinning hair. So figured I'd go with that.

you look fabulous!!!

Atta girl! Good work, keep it up.

Lookin good! Nice work:)

I wish I had a pic of before original surgery lapband where highest was 227 in 2009. I will find one . But for this part of my journey revision after band complications I was 188 and was starting to feel pain in my whole body. I know my pics are nowhere as dramatic as most. But I can tell my body hurts less. 25 to 30 pounds before I am no longer over weight according to charts .

First two are before

Rest after about month I am starting to feel my dorky self.
