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.
