Okay so since my pouch isn’t very fond of meat and I don’t feel like fighting her about it I’ve decided to challenge myself to Meatless May. My problem in the past when I tried to switch to vegetarianism was that I planned poorly. This time I chose to prep simple vegetarian and pescatarian meals. I bought groceries to help with my meal prep and for now I’ll use meat substitutes a couple of times a week while gradually trying Whole food recipes to add into my diet.

I have a variety of nuts, seeds, nut butter, cheese, Greek yogurt,cottage cheese,etc to help me get my Protein in. Also I’ll still be drinking Premier Protein once a day until I get a better blender for protein smoothies (without powder, yuck).

I’m 7 months post op from Gastric Bypass and I’ve lost 100lbs. Before surgery I lost 21lbs

7 months post RnY and I’m finally getting the hang of eating enough to fuel my body to run and survive moving all day at work! Am I the only one who has considered vegetarianism at this point after surgery? Honestly eating meat feels like a chore now and I could do without it. I’ve been meal prepping for a couple of weeks and I think I want to make next week a vegetarian or pescatarian week.

You go Girl!!!!! Crush It!!!

Wow, you are DRIVEN. Great to see you being so fierce. I'd like a cup of that elixir, please!

I am sure proud of how she's doing, aren't you? This is one together lady!

Day 4: training for a quarter marathon and trying to get comfortable with running instead of just walking.

Resisted the 20 boxes of Donatos at the gym but I was pissed off about it. Two nights before surgery I ate a whole medium Donatos pizza to myself. After that I ate a huge taco salad with Doritos and everything that’s terrible for you. Idk how I didn’t throw up that night. Anyway I resisted temptation which is a big thing for me. Pizza is my notorious binge food.

I’ll be hitting 5 months post op later this month. I haven’t been active at all until this week but my weight loss has been steady (minus November, -6lbs that whole month smh). Labs were normal at my 4 month check up and my surgeon is happy with my progress. My next appointment is at 9 months post op and I can’t imagine the changes that will happen between now and June. Also I’m down 72lbs since surgery so far.

I don’t eat much, actually I’m transitioning to vegetarianism because eating meat is no longer enjoyable to me. I guess this means I have to cook more.

I’m currently training for a quarter marathon and I believe that this will help me reach onederland in 12 weeks. I have a half marathon in September and October, my first full marathon is in December.

Goals: “overweight” BMI at 6 months post
Run more than I walk
Complete “insanity” workout
Consume balanced high Protein vegetarian meals

I’m ready to crush it this year

Alright let’s do this!

RNY: 9/17/18 and steadily losing

And YOU WILL make it because I believe in YOU! Just realized the other day I have lost more than a 100 pounds from my high weight so another 80 pounds or so and I MIGHT make my goal by our SURGIVERSITY next September, I am going to keep on, if it doesn't happen until Spring 2020, I'll still cheer for ME because I KNOW where I came from!😝🌺😝🌸

3 months Post op. 48lbs gone. Things are going slowly right now but I'm getting there. First picture is day of surgery. Second picture 3 months out.

I’m doing great, I’ve lost 11.5 pounds so far this month. I was stalled for a little bit last month smh. No complaints, I haven’t noticed any Hair loss so far. Currently I’m increasing my Protein to a minimum of 70g because I just started training for a half marathon. 52lbs down since surgery and 53lbs away from onederland.

I weigh less than I did as a 16/17 year old. I love my pouch. Best decision of my life.

I worry that I’ll be a gastric bypass failure. I noticed that I plateau within a couple of weeks of the start of my cycle. I have pcos too so maybe it correlates? Finally seeing the scale move a lil lower after being on my cycle since Wednesday.

My surgeon told me that if I plateau that I should continue to follow my surgeons guidelines and the weight will come off again. I also need to remember that every week will not be a major weight loss week.

For this month my goal is to shed about 15lbs. I’ll be working on hitting my protein/water/sleep/exercise goals. I think my plan will give me the results I’m looking for🤞🏾🤞🏾. The only reason why I have a goal for this month is because i turn 25 next month and I want to feel confident in my outfit. Also I want to tell the truth about my weight when I renew my license. I’ve been the same weight on there since I was 17 or so. “Still weigh 254?” “Yea sure 👀”
