Ldawn, what app is that?

Has anyone actually tried picking up a couple dumbbells or weights that equal their weight loss? I grabbed two 45lbs plates at the gym today in either arm and couldn’t believe I was carrying 90 extra lbs around not even 6 months ago

It’s like the scale knows you are in a stall and is working on everything it can to beat you down and make you lose hope. I ffirst saw the “270’s” on JUNE 7 (279). Then the range between 275-270 has been fluctuating since JUNE 20. It is now July 23. I have been going to the gym 6 days a week for the last 3 weeks before work eating great and even today it wouldn’t budge past 270.1. Is this even a stall anymore or is it just where I’m going to stop after 90 lbs of weight loss

First 3 months I could do no wrong and lost weight like crazy. This last month has been a very modest (in my terms) 8lbs lost and I’ve been stalled at the exact same weight for 2 full weeks

Happy everyone is still out there and fighting the good fight. From 2-12 surgery date I’m down 71lbs as of this morning and i won’t lie a lot of bad habits are sticking around. Seems like they’re just at a much more scaled back version of my old self. Weight is still coming off albeit slower than before but I know the rude awakening is right around the corner

What is this in reference to? I see a helluva lot more people getting revision surgeries because their sleeve didn’t work than people failing with a bypass

Gaby: I had the same transfer problem when I was off for the 6weeks after surgery. Couldn’t eat so I was gambling heavily on sports. When I went back to work and was busier I slowly did it less and less. Not sure if there is something else to occupy your mind but I get your feeling of wanting to spend ! In response to the average weight loss question, my weight on Jan 1 was 363, operation weight on feb 12 was 347 and current weight 287. So I guess overall weight loss at 3months is 60lbs and since my heaviest 73lbs. I am a little younger than most (I think) 36yrs old and work in a very active field (construction). Although I am pretty loose with guidelines

The three month stall is real! I have been averaging 4-5lbs per week since surgery day and alas this past week only 1.2lbs

What’s the word on fresh fruit and veggies now? I was always told strawberries etc with seeds had to be like months post

Taylor: I feel the same! Like I tried to gorge in month two and now I’m eating even less than I was and I’m at three months tomorrow. I think everyone just hits that reality of what you can and can’t handle.

I gotta start getting on the ‘sharing’ plate routine but when in London you order

Haven’t posted for a while but I was on vacation in Europe for a week then had my brothers wedding this weekend. I am literally eating and drinking anything at this point and I just hit 71 lbs lost (surgery feb 12) Everythinganna I’ve been bad with the booze as well but lately I’m noticing how much water it takes me to replenish and it’s *kind of making me slow it down. I’m still keeping a protein shake for breakfast and a nice protein rich lunch but after work there is usually a Bloody Mary or glass of wine at home with some cheat foods. I just can’t seem to eat enough to not lose weight at this point

I can see it as well Sheri! I’ve also had not many people Make any comments (except mom) but I’m at about 61 lbs lost since Xmas. I’m about to get on a plane to England and Spain for a week holidays and I’ve already told myself I’m just going to enjoy myself. Of course after a 6lbs weight loss two weeks ago and then a 5lbs week last week my scale is on the stubborn number of 301!!!!

I had the bypass and they had me on a protein pump inhibitor until just this week. Haven’t felt any heartburn or reflux unless I eat too close to bed. I’m exactly 2 months from surgery and I’m able to eat pretty consistently 900-1000 calories a day

Sld : in my pre screening they discovered I had severe sleep apnea ( November) I was having about 40-45 apnea’s per hour. Having lost about 55lbs now I was retested on Friday and I’m down to .8 per hour... doctor said I don’t need the machine anymore and we can re test in a couple months! I wish you all the luck in the world

When you guys talk about getting in 600-800 calories are you talking about net calorie intake? Or are you taking into account physical activity? I’m routinely around 1000-1100 a day but subtracting for exercise and steps I’m around 730-850

Taylor that stuck feeling has happened to me twice with hamburger patties and/or dry chicken not with a sauce! Horrible feeling

Yeah it was MAYBE 2/3 of a cup total.. and only about 2/3 the slice of pizza . Not trying to justify the choices but at least the pouch kept the portions ultra manageable

These ones come in many different flavours and sold at wal mart or Costco 200 calories, 5g fat, 3G sugar , 20g protein

I know this is generally an area to detail successful days but I gotta let you know about a bad one yesterday. After seeing a ‘whoosh’ 7lbs weight drop last week from Sunday to Sunday and not feeling so good after a couple glasses of wine the night before I had the worst eating day of the entire year. Had my morning protein shake but for lunch I was able to eat a slice of pepperoni pizza. Followed by grazing on half a single serving can of pringles. 4 gummi worms and an oat bar from Starbucks. Dinner was take out butter chicken. I was too afraid to get my daily weigh in this morning. I know I have to be better but all of us know the struggle. This is a new week and with a trip to Spain next week I am more determined than ever to get back on track. Cheers everyone

I’ve got a good feeling you’ll make it Sheri!

Sheri you nailed it! Spontaneity gone! Socializing gone! That was really tough to deal with especially being still in some of my best hangover recovery years of my life lol (34). I envy some of your protein goals I am supposed to aim for 107g a day :/ I usually get to around 70-90 with a 30g shake in the morning, 20g bar in the afternoon, a babybel cheese for a snack and then medium amounts from actual meals like lunch and dinner. I guess I was really stalling a fluctuating the last couple weeks cause I’ve lost 2lbs a day since Sunday ?‍♀️. Saw 309 on the scale and that means getting into the 200’s isn’t far around the corner ! Great posts today everyone

Has anyone been givin any guidelines towards coffee or tea? I was told they’d rather us not go back like ever again but I’ve been having little sips here and there

Thanks for that Sheri I’m going to send a picture of it to my girlfriend and see if she can track It down !

I kind of echo the ‘coming to terms’ with it aspect. I’m not nearly as upset with myself as I was but still feel a bit of FOMO. Woke up this morning to a 2.1 lbs loss overnight and that never hurts ;) overall 50lbs since the orientation SW: 363 SurgW: 347 Current: 311.9
