Life is going well. I never thought I would be able to maintain as well as I have. Even to be running 5+ 3 times a week. I do Keto

Hang in there froufrou. You are doing great. I had to wear a heart monitor and do a stress test. Things came back all good. When I did my 2 year appointment, the surgeon was surprised to see I lost and did not gain with covid and everything going on. She said a majority of her patients have gained some. So don’t feel bad. You just have to jump back on the wagon.

Yes, wide array of foods I can eat now. Still in smaller portions. Weight is coming off slow yet, at this point, I am happy to maintain where I am. Keep up the good work. I like running by myself, but my son usually goes and pushes me to run harder. We did 7 miles on Thanksgiving day. 5 today in about 52 minutes.

It has been a long journey. Starting weight 349 and current weight is 230. How is everyone doing

I have been pretty active since this lockdown. I went back to no carbs for a week. I have lost 4 pounds over the last month. I have increased my activity. I run 3.5-4.0 miles ever other day. It’s tough, but I do it. I still work daily as I work in banking. So not much has changed.

Sorry, it has been a while since I posted. I am running between 2-3 mile 3 times a week now. Still not to my goal, but that is all right. Just about 95 pounds down. I have been maintaining and only losing 2-3 pounds a month now. If the weight loss does not pick back up, the have some medicine they can give me to get me the rest of the way. I feel better and am more confident.

Anyone have any ideas

Pills

I have had the bypass. Can I take Nyquil

Before and after

Very nice. Keep up the great work

Before and after so far

I am losing about 2-4 pounds a week. There have been a couple weeks where I have gained once. Then the next week I lose it. I am down almost 70 pds. I don’t feel like I eat to much. Everyday no. Somedays here and there yes. If I lost any faster I would be broke from having to buy new clothes. Do I wish I would lose faster. Yes, but I am happy with the weight I have lost so far. If I do decide to snack it is calories that contain protein like yogurt and beef jerky. Sometimes, I will eat skinny pop popcorn. I still stay away from as much dairy and bread as possible. Try to keep carbs to 120-140 grams a day, and I do not drink milk.

I took a little time away to get my head straight. Some people did not have as much to lose and I was like dang he is down below 200 all ready or she is at this point all ready. I had to take a step back and realize we are at different points in our journey. At times, I wish the weight would come off a little quicker, or I would not stall for a week. I have felt that I have done really well since I had my first experience with dumping syndrome. No freezer dried fruit. Lots of concentrated sugar in it.

I had my first case of dumping and it sucked. Started out with a gassy stomach and pretty much hanging out on the toilet half the day. My gas and runs are getting better. Not sure exactly what it was.

Our group of February 2019 Weight loss buds has a pretty long. Congrats on bonding and forging new friendships.

Way to go

Wish I would have chosen surgery closer to 200 pounds. Being under 200 would be nice. I guess we all have different weights we are trying to lose. Congrats on all your success

I am having some pain on the left side under the rib cage. I breathe in and it hurts more. Anyone have any ideas what this could be?

I agree with you. 53 does not seem like much, but it is. Keep up your good job

Non existent has been my routine. I try to walk when I can. I am having issues with my sciatic nerve causing pain in my right thigh. I want to feel better so I can exercise and lose weight faster

I have lost 53.5 pounds since February 4th

Me

I eat one or two pieces a day. Nutritionist said it is fine.

Do agree dub. I just am amazed of no dumping with the pizza.
