Going to do this to my kids this Friday - Going to get them all wound up about a deluxe barbecue meal

BULLY POOP
My doc said the same thing. My nutrioshist said No way you can get to a healthy weight by different diets. So i got on a work out Diet and started cross training. I shredded another 18 pounds in two months. Yes if you just stay on your current meal plan you will stall out, Change it and work out and you can lose again

Hey everyone its been a while! December 18th 2018 was the day my life changed forever. I was a whopping 304 pounds and now 1 year 3 months post operation I have lost 176 pounds I am currently at 128 pounds. I hope you all have had as much success as I have had if not even more! Feel free to post before and after photos as I will do below. Hugs and kisses to you all! 🤗🤗

I have looked like a Homeless guy for the last 6 months, I have now just started picking up a few things that fit. I did this as a way of reminding me how dang fat and out of shape i was. I had a huge wardrobe of huge clothes so i have donated Lawn and Leaf bags full of clothes. I am never going back to that size would rather be dead!
Sure has pissed off the kids walking around in big baggy clothes for the last few months

Try being patient and kind to yourself during a stall. They usually break when they want to. But if you feel the need to do *something*, perhaps try:
Tracking body measurements (tape measure) to see if there is any non scale progress
Tracking food intake with apps like MyFitnessPal, Baritastic, etc. to stay aware of calorie/macros and stay within your optimal range (Doc/Team recommendations)
Good Luck ❤

Also great are Celestial Seasonings mixes- peach passion, black cherry etc.. you don't even miss sweetness that much.

For the past few weeks the scale has been going back and forth between 198-200lbs. I refused to count it until I was under 197-today is that day😄😁
1st goal get under 200lbs met!

I’m so excited! Started this journey about a year ago, was 286 at my highest. Surgery 8/12. Hit Onederland this morning! I’m so thrilled with my results :)

@Ginanatucci

Glad you enjoyed your time in Italy. You are almost two years out. Do you need to work off just the 8 pounds? Or do you need to lose more than that?
Five year out, All I can offer is what works for me.
If you need to lose more than 8 pounds - Go back to bariatric basics. Eat the food on your dietitians plan, hydrate, log food in an app and exercise
If you are maintaining and need to work off an 8 pound gain - Log and stay with in your dieticians weight loss calories and macros My carbs are around 55 to 66 grams. Yes, I have a half a cup of of whole grain oats. I make sure my carbs hit my range for the day.
google bariatric friendly recipes. It may help if you are in a food rut.

You'll keep losing for 12-18 months. It's just a stall. Hang in there and stick with the program.

I'm 5'6" and I weighed 230 pounds (104kg) on the day of my gastric sleeve on 8 October last year. I'm currently 168 pounds. My weight loss has been consistent and only slowed when I started doing bodypump a few weeks ago. I'm still dropping centimetres so trying not to freak about the scales. I'm only 12kg off my goal weight which seems incredible to me, only a few months ago I was obese, miserable and unfit - I feel like I have a new lease on life.

I am kinda “new” to this site. I was a member back in 2016 when I was trying to get approved thru ins....I got denied after doing the 12 month appointments with dietitian. I was crushed:
But I am here today and one day post op! Im so excited for this journey!

Dont panic
Try two cups of mashed potatoes and lets see how you do then! Actually do not try that you will be miserable

Soup you can do almost 5 times solid food like said above the liquid flows right thru the sleeve -

Finally hit ONEderland! Yay!

I meant to share this earlier but I been so busy.

Can’t believe this morning I hit ONEderland!

HW: 270.6lbs
SW: 266.8lbs
CW:199.8lbs
GW1:170lbs
GW2:135lbs

Total lost:70.8lbs
5 months and 10 days post op

I am so excited! So... my height in this site and with my surgeon is listed at 5'4" as my surgeon rounds down (and here half inches are not possible to enter). But my REAL height is between 5'4.5" to 5'4.75" according to all my other doctor's offices and what I have always known it to be. So, periodically I put my real height into the National Institute of Health BMI calculator. Today I put in 5'4.5" in, and that has me at 24.9 for my bmi... which is the highest of the NORMAL WEIGHT BMI's! I am 12.6 pounds below my doctors goal weight of 160. And I am 12.4 pounds from my personal goal weight of 135. It will be interesting to see how long it takes to lose the last 12.4 pounds. I do hope I get there, but I am thrilled where I am now too... so any weight lost at this point and beyond is simply "bonus" for me.
I will be 5 months post op tomorrow. I have lost a total of 46 inches as of 2/1/2020 (all measurements together, neck, chest, waist, hips, thighs and biceps). I wear mostly women's size 8 in pants, but I do have a couple size 6 pants that fit and look fine. I wear mostly women's medium tops, but some are looking a bit big and I can wear SOME size smalls. My weight loss has truly slowed down. I go many days with a 2-3 pound fluctuation, and then a little drop, then many days again with 2-3 pounds fluctuation. While I hate that the loss is slower, I know it is normal at this point. And the inches are still coming off, which is great. I am also so much more active than I was this time last year.

All of my weight loss is coming from the upper part of my body. I am starting to resemble a girl in the early stages of developing boobs.🤣🤣

Thanks so much for this post!! This is how I have been looking at this phase- yes it is frustrating but it is giving me the opportunity to work on my exercise which has resulted in building muscle and toning up as I lose and very little loose skin. 🙂

WOW I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW FAR I'VE COME.
I started my diet journey 5 months ago today.
at my heaviest in the surgeons office I weighed in at 322lbs.
I was admitted to hospital for surgery 256lbs
now I'm 3 months post op and feeling great.
JUST hit 190lbs this morning and also realised I'm just 7lbs away from the top end of a healthy BMI.
I'm doing so well I might even get down to 180lbs yet and that feels amazing.
I've been doing a lot of fasting and that has really helped.
I've also got my new rowing machine and started using it tonight; it is hard work that's for sure 😀
officially lost 132lbs now 😄
I still say RNY BYPASS was the best choice I've ever made and to anyone else looking at bypass don't stress too much I've not had one issue or complication so far!!
THANKS.
MIKE.

I'm thinking from the sound of it, I might be allergic to anything ending in "mite."

Congratulations!!! I truly enjoy reading these types of posts💯

Piggybacking off of my previous post.... Losing all my extra padding on my butt sure makes it hurt so much more when I fall on my tailbone. Ouch!

So I just had to put this somewhere because I have to say the first 80-85 came off quick. These last 15 not so much.
I have been in a stall since Thanksgiving going down and up a few at a time while allowing myself to live a little and have some holiday treats.
Got most everything out of the house, got my butt to the gym, started tracking carefully again and today finally weighed in at 100 down. Will be 8 months post 2/4 and I would say most of the work is on me at this point. I can absolutely overeat right now if I eat the wrong things. Just making that statement for anyone who is out there wondering what restriction may look like at this point. It’s there but I certainly have to choose right. No more “free ride” LOL

This is what I do:
1) At least 10,000 steps a day, tracked on my little wrist step tracker.
2) Wall pushups, followed by large arm circles and small arm circles, both directions, I do 3 sets. The number of reps depends on you and you gradually add reps to each set. I also do pelvic tilts in this session.
3) Leg routine: squats, front lunges, pliatte squats, side lunges, pistol squats, side leg raises and cross overs, and a couple of others I don't know the name of. (These are NOT deep squats - only do what is comfortable and gradually increase.) I found the leg exercises on line.
4) Upper body weight routine with only 3 and 5 pound weights (WalMart). 3 sets. I use the exercises given by my surgeon and also on line.
5) Stair climbing. (I am up to 25 flights/day, with goal of 75 as I train toward a Grand Canyon hike.) I started with just 1 flight.
6) Stretching.
7) Cardio (this can be hill hiking, biking, swimming, or elliptical machine which I have.)
I do these exercises every day - 6 days a week. Hill hiking is increasing until I can do 20 miles, again, prepping for the GC rim-to-rim.
So none of this is in a gym. No fancy equipment, except for the Elliptical which is just a back up when I can't get outside due to weather or darkness, I start in the morning before work with arms and legs. Stairs after work. Cardio, weights, after dinner. Stretching before bed. I'll walk around the living room if I have to to get my 10,000 steps in, but usually that is not an issue. My resting morning pulse is in the mid 40's and I feel like I am in the best shape of my life! I can eat anything I want, although I only choose healthy options - I don't want junk in my new body!
I used to be very active, but the fatter I got, the more immobile I got. Then my joints started to go. After surgery, I have gotten my life back, and physical activity is a big part of that. Start slow and build up. Be consistent and you will see some great results in so many ways,
