    Hi Everyone! It has been a while. I'm now about 88 lbs down, but have been stuck losing and gaining the same 5 pounds since January. A bit frustrated, but that's where I am with it.

    This year has been incredible. My confidence has grown, as has my energy level. I still have about 50 lbs to go before I reach my ideal weight. I don't know if that's plausible at this point, but I'm hopeful.

    In an effort to boost my loss, I've gone back to very low carb, high Protein and have increased my activity a HUGE amount. Hopefully it pays off.

    Also 9 months out. 90 lbs down but now the scale is barely moving. I must confess that I haven't been making good food choices lately. I'm trying to get my head back in the game but I'm getting nervous that I've reached the end of the so-called honeymoon period. I'm not giving up though! I'm satisfied with the weight I'm at now but to get to the normal BMI range I need to lose another 10-20 lbs so I'm still marching toward that goal.

    I struggle with getting my Water and Protein in at times. I also have allowed a few carbs back in my diet. Good ones for the most part, but I do have my moments...lol I will never get to a "normal" bmi but i will be in just the overweight rather than obese if i can hit 174. Im currently at 182.

    From experience I would say. Make sure you're getting all the Protein you're supposed to. AND drinking lots of Water. I lost a total of 115 after surgery. 250 to 135 a stall is normal

    Sent from my SM-G965U using BariatricPal mobile app

    I do at times slack on Protein and or Water. I have lost a total of 129 lbs from my heavy weight and i think 110 since surgery. I am gonna keep trying.

    I made it to Onederland!!! One wk short of 6 months. 199.6 today. I still have a way to go, but its such a relief to be back in the 100s at 42 for the first time since the age of 19! Yes, I need to update my stats but I can't from my phone or tablet and am never on a PC.

    Part of being able to do it is a shake in the morning - a scoop of Protein Powder, a cup of Fairlife Milk and a handful of frozen fruit in the Ninja - that's 30g Protein for the protein powder and 15 for Fairlife so 45 grams right there. It's being smart about how to eat. One snack is either Oikos Triple Zero or Skyr Icelandic - 13-15 grams of protein right there. Four ounces of chicken at lunch - another 25 grams. Know your numbers and use them.

    I might have to add some shakes back in. My doctor and dietician want all protein to come from food sources (no shakes, bars, powders) after 4 mos.

    2.5 years out. Work out 1-2 hours per day - hard. (I am a competitive athlete at age 57). Eat about 110 gram Protein and 100 grams carb daily to about 1500 calories. (It keeps my muscle mass up - getting the carbs in as been tough.) I eat three meals and two Snacks. At six months, I was eating about 800-1000 calories with 100 grams of Protein with 3 meals and 2 Snacks.

    I have trouble fitting in my 65 grams of protein, coukdnt imagine almost doubling it! Awesome job and congrats on your success!

    Im 7 months post surgery and am eating around 6-8 ounces a meal 4x a day. Down 124 lbs so far and I usually stick to around 1500 calories a day and 120 grams of Protein to keep up from going too Calorie deficient with working out. I had a big problem immediately after surgery with not losing any weight post surgery at 700 calories a day, I do get hungry a lot still but just drink some Water or if that doesnt work then Powerade zero. Unfortunately the answer to if most people get hungry a lot is it varies from person to person, just find what works for you and forget what the other people say, there's plenty of people on this forum who think 1500 calories is way to high but unless you arent moving at all in a day its what you need to keep your body from going in to preservation mode

    Thank you for your reply. I need to try and up my Protein and see of that helps. I have only been doing 3 meals a day also. Maybe i should consider breaking my calories up into 4 meals instead.
