All of you all look fantastic. Thanks for showing us your progress!

Down 98 pounds, 30 more to go picture is from day of surgery July 18, 2018 and other is Memorial day weekend this year and my engagement weekend...whoop!!

Hi everyone:
I’m 96lbs down from my HW of 354. I was sleeved last July and have my one year follow-up appt on the 10th. I’m still losing between 7-10 lbs a month and I’m not really exercising at all. I do plan to ramp that up this summer though. My goal weight is 175 so I still have a ways to go. Slow and steady... It truly has been a wonderful journey. My whole life changed with the first 30 lbs and it all been wonderful since then. Hope to be in Onederland by Christmas.

I swore that I posted already, but I can’t find my post. Hopefully this isn’t a duplicate post.
Surgery was 6/4/18 (VSG). I’m down 90lbs. I went from a size 16 to a size 4. I’m kind of at my goal and kind of want to lose another 10 lbs. Time flies you guys. http://www.instagram.com/Vsg4me2please

Prolly need to list both good and bad things I did, after all as one of you has reminded me this is great inspiration for all my surgery buddies here on BariatricPal... so here goes...
The Good: I ate mostly veggies, and used tofu, chicken, seafood and occasional beef stir fry bits for my protein. Kept protein at the top of my mind 365: protein went in first ahead of everything. Remembered to drink milk, at least every few days. I take the bari vitamins religiously. Bought a scale and got on it daily: every morning just to check. Started walking as soon as my surgery permitted (for me it was one week which surprised me), eventually ramped this up to walking, squats, light short runs then bicycling, biking is the easiest and most fun. Absolutely stopped buying the bad things I used to eat before and did not allow them even into the house, this includes Baked Lays BBQ Potato Chips, white Asian rice for steaming Chinese style, and cut back on sushi, my weakness. I also gave away my rice steamer. Smartest thing I ever did. When Pouch signals I'm full -- hiccups, tightening chest sensation, nausea -- I stop eating. Late at night when I crave a salty snack, I eat either a little kimchi or a couple pickle slices, instead of the potato chips that I used to. Does the trick.
The Bad (Naughty): I resumed red wine drinking after surgery and you are not supposed to. I retried beer and cocktails too. Eventually lost all taste for those. Cannot resist Reunite Lambrusco: it's fairly low in calories (but high in sugar). So far Pouch has taken to lambrusco fine but dislikes other alcohols. I enjoy it in extreme moderation, about two ounces an evening if that. No weight gained as a result. But other bad things, I do not exercise as much, as hard or as often as my surgeon wants. I also do not drink any protein shakes. Except for wine, I have always just kind of hated sugar and sweet things and all protein shakes taste gross to me, like a milkshake. So I have to get my protein in other ways and mine are tofu and cut up chicken thighs for the most part.
Stuff the Pouch did and I had nothing to do with I think: My appetite died after my RNY procedure. I maybe eat a cup of food a day and that's almost forcing it. I have no sweet tooth and prefer hot, salty and spicy, so I never eat ice cream, candy, cake or pie. I do eat an occasional small piece of cookie when drinking my weekly milk. I have way more energy now so I exercise more than I did pre-surgery, but I believe it's because of my weight loss.
I hope this is inspirational and helps!

Congratulations!!!![emoji322][emoji322][emoji322][emoji322][emoji322] Please never be too shy to announce a success!! It's inspiring for us newbies and I bet you are darn proud of yourself!! I am!???[emoji122][emoji122][emoji108]

Today I finally reached Onederland. 199.3 pounds. :)

I'm a little shy of two months (8/24) . I've lost 40lbs since the surgery and 80 about overall

a few days short of the 2 month mark and i already lost 53 pounds surgery day was 347.4 as of a few days ago i was down to 294.4...

I am alittle over 2months post op and 39 pounds down. I started at 237 day of surgery on may 31st. I am 197 today! Goal 140
I am losing 2lbs a week with just getting my steps in everyday. I make sure to get in over 10,000 steps with my fit bit. I tend to walk about 13,000 steps a day.

Where was everyone at with weight loss at their 2 month post-op mark ? I know everyone is differnet but i'm just curious. I was sleeved 05/20 and have lost 31lbs. Feeling really great about my progress.

@336Mike So glad you're back here posting with us. Now never go away again dude!!! You look AHHHHH-may-zing!!! Congrats on all your hard work. I'm so sorry to hear about your medical issues. It's easy to get down and isolate when you have to deal with feeling poorly and healing plus all the doc visits/hospitals etc. So glad your TT surgery is back on and SO close! Wooot! Can't wait to follow your journey hon! BTW, we're pretty fond of your geeky tattooed self.

Good to hear from you!
Looking fabulous!

Wow! Amazing and I love your pictures, tattoos and all! Glad you are better!

Hi-
I have been able to eat shrimp, fish, chicken, turkey and ham. I really haven't had any issues with any of them, so far at least!

Hi, I’m eating baked chicken, lean lunch meat with low sodium, tuna, salmon, sardines, and chicken sausage. And I’m doing very well with these, 2-3 oz portions. No vomiting ever.
Hope this helps.

I am six weeks out and am only eating tuna (including ahi tuna) and ham. I have heard too many people say that chicken is too dry and roast beef is too tough. I will wait a few weeks before attempting them.

I'm 9 days post-op bypass. Yesterday I had my 1 week appt and I'm down 23 lbs [emoji4] I haven't been this weight in about 10 years. I'm already very excited that I went through with it!
I'm mostly meeting liquid and protien goals, walking my 10k steps/ day, and dr cleared me to ride my beach cruiser on flat trails.
SW: 311
Surgery Weight (bypass 7/3/19): 281
CW: 258
GW: 150

You are gorgeous!! You're not the only one who feels this way. Don't give up dating. He could have some other reason for breaking things off. Most likely, it had nothing to do with you, especially if he didn't explain. Get back out there, girl!

2 weeks 2 days out from surgery lost 18 pounds

I'm 3 weeks in and:
1st week: 15.4lb or 14,6% of excess weight;
2nd and 3rd weeks each: 3.3lb or 3%.

I’m 1.5 weeks out. I lost 17 lbs 1 week post op but have only lost like 2 lbs this week. These are the type of things that frustrate me, but trying to stay positive!
