Hey, U look great congrats! We share a surgiversary date @clsumrall

U look amazing! 1 day at a time, thats what im doing!

11 months and down more than 135 lbs.

My one year is coming up on 8/28. My highest weight was 311, weight on day of surgery was 303 and current weight is 175.

Congrats, you look great!

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.

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.

Ok, so Im not the only one at least! Lol

Sounds really good!

I havent been doing as well on hydration, maybe i need to do that too! Thank you!

Down 123 from my high weight, 104 from my surgery weight. Almost 9 mos out.

When did everyones weight loss seem to stop or level out after gastric bypass? Im almost at my 9 month mark and have been bouncing between a 4 lb range for about 4-5 wks now. Just curious.

Thats what was initially recommended for me as well. My doctor said it isnt absorbed well enough in a pill form. Either sublingual or injection are the only effective methods according to her.

My pcp prescribed me injections to do at home biwkly. I don't know of that might be an option for you or not?

It does feel good! Thank you!

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.

Maybe I should have put this on another post, but, how do I know what to measure by weight and what to measure by volume?

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.

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

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.

I ended up needing zofran as well. The peppermint tea is the only thing that kept me from not being dehydrated. The sight or smell of anything made me gag!

I made cherry and strawberry sugar free finger jello hearts for my daughter. Idk how good they would be for a party? Lol

@blackhawkpro Wow, congrats on you amazing success. I am not nearly as active as you, thats for sure. I haven't completely cut anything aside from bread out of my diet. I do however, make sure i get a minimum of 65 oz of protein, 80 oz of water, and keep my carbs very low. I have recently increased the volume of protein I eat due to increased hunger, hoping it would help. At the same time, im worried about stretching my stomach as I do increase volume.

I am 6 mos post op and noticing a large increase in hunger and what feels like a loss of restriction. I am wondering how much any of you were eating, or how much i should be able to eat at 6 mos out? I know each person and stomach is different, just trying to get a gauge of where the average might be so I know if i should be concerned.
