How did everyone do, during Thanksgiving? We went to my in laws. I am so thankful I didn't have to cook everything this year. I managed to eat a small slice of Turkey and a small slice of Ham. I had some mash potatoes and two spoon full of macaroni and cheese. I had a sliver of a piece of pumpkin pie. I figured its only one day a year. Right back to Protein protein protein!!!! I hit my 3 month stall during Nov it lasted a few weeks. Last time I was here I was 210 in the first week of Nov and had a 3week stall (UGH!!) and now finally losing again. Down to 205lbs. I am hoping now that my stall is gone I'll start dropping weight steadily again. Anywho, I hope everyone is doing well!!!

Hi, how is everyone doing? My weight loss has been really slow, I'm averaging 1 lb. a week. It's not the best but its something. I know I'm losing inches as well. I'm in between pants size 14 and 16. I feel great aside from all the Hair loss. Hoping it stops soon.

Wishing all of you a happy and safe Thanksgiving!!

This has been an amazing journey so far. I am down 77lbs from my heaviest weight and 45lbs of those lbs since surgery 7/31. I've slipped up a few times and got back on track immediately. The first post OP holidays are going to be really hard, having to cook my family's favorite holiday foods and just being exposed to all those carbs and sugars. I typically keep leftovers after the holidays but planning on getting rid of everything except the Proteins.

Glad to hear everyone is doing great!! [emoji4][emoji4]

Thank you. I'm scheduled for gallbladder removal next month so hopefully that'll get me back on the right track. I'm officially down almost 103 lbs total and about 88 since July so i'm really pleased with the progress even with the setbacks. Right now I use a lot of phenergan and zofran lol.

Sounds like you're rocking it ...congrats. Oh and I don't track my food either. It's hard when I usually vomit most of it back up lol.

How is everyone's journey going? I've been doing good. I haven't been tracking my food... bad I know, but I'm still steadily losing weight. I'm down 51lbs in 3 1/2months weighing in at 210 right now. Only 11lbs til onederland! I think I'm gonna hit that little goal before January like I had hoped.

I've seen some people that I hadn't seen since last February and they were like WHOA! You've lost a lot of weight I said about 50lbs and they said wow it looks like you've lost so much more you looks so different! I was like thankssss! So I wonder how my family is gonna react when they see me in person. I havent seen them in probably a year and a half.

I had my 3month blood draws done by my PCM since my Bariatric clinic is 2hrs away. I will have an over the phone appt with them after i send them my results. But my PCM was really happy with my results she said my cholesterol dropped and she was happy about that and that everything was perfect. Overall everything is going good and I am so happy i chose to get the surgery!!

Agree... I didn't feel restriction until i had purees which was a week after surgery. At first it was 2oz of puree and it would hurt when I got full. Then I moved to 3oz maybe a month later and now at 3 1/2months i can probably get in like 5oz+. The hurt when full went away at about 1 1/2months and now I can just tell when I'm full. I've lost 51lbs in 3 1/2months.

great job ladies!!!
Hubz & I are 121 & 98 lost respectively since 7/9. He’s passed up his first goal and decided to keep going I’m about 40 from my goal. Just keeping on keeping on

Great work! @MeowAMR!
I’m in a similar spot. Down 49 lbs since 7/30, and just 11 from the one hundreds, so very much hoping to get there by the new year. I can see a big difference in my shape and clothes. I had my Bariatric appointments the week before last and everything came back normal. I feel like I’ve been more tortoise than hare in my losing, but my PA and nutritionist were thrilled. And honestly, I am not sure I’d want to be losing any more quickly. I already feel like I’ve got some bagginess in the skin of my thighs, arms and under my chin/jaw. Hoping my collagen can keep up.

I was the same I'm glad my doc only did stage 2 liquids for the first week after surgery and the second week he advanced to purees because I was sick of liquids and i was hungry and wanted food. I'm 3months out and have lost 49lbs

I have PCOS too and I was also so worried I wouldn't lose the weight after surgery. PCOS was the reason I had the surgery since the PCOS gave me the metabolic disorder and no matter what I gained weight and couldn't lose no matter how little I ate and how much I worked out. My brother lived with us at the time and said he just thought maybe I wasn't working out hard enough and eating while I was out. Even though he'd ask me if I wanted something from whatever fadt food he was getting and I would always tell him no. When I finally told him why and it's because of PCOS he felt bad lol.

I'm 2 1/2months out from surgery and I am down 45lbs. So I've been losing steadily. I am so happy I got the surgery. I do get scared at times its too good to be true and the PCOS is gonna ramp up and stop me from losing anymore weight then I'll start gaining lol.

3wk stalls are normal. I know how hard it is to be positive about stalls, but they are just that stalls. You'll definitely lose again. I would put the scale away and not check my weight for awhile. Hope yall break your stalls soon. I know normally there is a 3month stall and we are all coming up on our 3 month so we should all start stalling soon if you're not already. I'm not looking forward to it...

I felt skinny this morning for once so I snapped a pic. I then added it to my collage and what a difference! I still can't believe the first picture is me. But then I still feel like I look like the first picture and that even though I've lost 45lbs I still look that big. Now seeing the difference I gotta push myself to believe I am changing and to stop seeing myself as before. I'm 5lbs away from the half way mark of my goal weight and I'm 17lbs away from Onederland! I can't wait!

Im basically 3 months out and lost 46lbs with PCOS. I have read if you eat too little that can also affect your weight loss because you're basically starving your body so its going to hold on to what it's getting. My docs want me to strive for 800-1000 calories a day and no more then 25-30g of carbs per meal and thats 5-6 meals a day so like 150g of carbs a day allowed. I know I usually hit the 800-1000 calories a day, but don't hit the carbs mark I probably get like 50 carbs a day. I would try upping your calorie/carbs intake and see if it helps drop some lbs.
