I really like it when someone has a great transformation like this and they wear the same clothing item in both before and after pics, it really accentuates the impact of the transformation. I can tell you worked really hard, you look incredible, nice job sir!!

I made my goal weight today! I endured a lot during my journey including a 11 month stall but I finally made it!

Cant say I have...I prefer making my own vinaigrette (am not a big fan of creamy dressings with the exception of blue cheese)
1 tbsp serving = 7 calories (sometimes I add more olive oil after the fact to increase fats)
Makes 51 servings:

I recently started taking my measurements as well. I was getting frustrated with the scale.

Wow, I so feel for you. The best suggestion I have for you is volunteer somewhere till you have a new job. Hopefully that would take your mind off of your problem and take you away from temptation.
I have a lot of food issues and when I get into a panic about them I eat more. I find that getting some control that is not too strict helps me. the minute I feel I am in deprivation mode I start too binge.

I had surgery in May and I feel this. It’s like I feel the food go down and settle, but after an hour or so the feeling dissipates. I have just been dealing with it and figure over time it will resolve itself.

I had to laugh at your response because this same thing has happened to me eating chicken and it has only happened at work. I blame it on work and not the surgery. 🙂 But seriously, it just seems as if some days our bodies are just more sensitive than others.

That is excellent! I keep reading posts where we have been conditioned by what we should be losing based on what we see on television as well as comparing ourselves to others. It has been almost 3 months for me and I am down 40lbs. I had to accept that my body and metabolism is specific to me. Not to mention, when was the least time I lost 40lbs in 3 months....that would be never. Try to stay focused on the fact that you are definitely losing and getting healthier every day. I wish you the best. 👍🏽

Awesome! I've never been there, but I hear it's nice this time of year 😂😊

From 248 to 139.6! Still going but life is good.

Congrats!

I am few months out and still have an issue with chicken. I bought a rotisserie chicken this past week and my plan was to cut it up and eat it throughout the week. I felt sick on the second day so I ended up using all of it for Soup. Once it was softer and moister from the broth, I was able to tolerate it a little better. But I am not going to eat anymore for awhile. Maybe try making it softer or wait another few weeks and try it again.

I was posing all goofy for a friend and when she showed me the picture I was shocked! I knew everyone was TELLING me I was so skinny but this picture blows my mind! Its like my face was photoshopped on someone else's body! Look at those skinny legs!! 😱

Congrats!

My first goal for 2019 was to lose 50lbs by 50 years old. I turn 50 on Saturday and this morning i finally met my goal!!! 50lbs lost since 01/4/19 and 25lbs since surgery 7/23/19... woop woop!!!
We just got back from New Orleans and I realized that i didn't need to eat or drink alcohol to truly enjoy myself, its who you surround yourself with! My sister came over from London, my daughter and her partner, my nephew plus 3 of my best friends and we had a blast!! The celebrations will continue for the next 2 weeks while other friends and family arrive from abroad to Celebrate this milestone withme.

Ok, yes! Be hard on yourself. WTF? Seriously. Call your surgeon and get a referral to your RD and to the bariatric counselor. Start therapy now. This may sound harsh? But you are 4 WEEKS post op! This is the "easiest" and the "hardest" you will ever have it and the time you will feel LEAST like eating in your entire journey. Cuz barring complications like it sounds like you're asking for, your restriction will get increasingly less and less as the months go by and you continue to heal and evolve. You either take care of your food/behavior problems now? Or you could be doomed to either never see goal, or regain.
Tough? Fu*k yes. I am being tough and shocking. I hope it shocks you into getting a grip and getting real with your bad choices.
It begs to be asked...Why did you have this life-changing surgery if you weren't ready to get serious about living a new life? Ask yourself, WHAT IS YOUR WHY? WHY did you want the surgery? WHY did you want a new lease on life? How important are YOU? How important is your marriage? Your LIFE?

(Seriously one of the saddest posts I've ever read and I've read a bunch including a post-op eating pizza at 4 days.)

Wooohoooo everyone! I just found this thread! Is it still in effect for Summer 2019? I rarely do the NSVs, cuz everyday feels like an NSV to me these days and I don't wanna hog the NSV threads! But I had to share this cuz I just had a realization! For the last 2 mornings, I "ran" for 60 minutes and 65 minutes continuous at a 3mph (about 5kph) rate. That means, I ran 3.1m yesterday and 3.2m today and guess what? That's a freaking 5K!!! Wooot! I will take that any day of the week!! Yay me. NSV!
