I 100 % bummed it today. BUT the reason im posting this is because im officially in a large shirt. (i think) I have NEVER worn a size that doesnt have an x- on it. Proud moment. This was a goal shirt. You all look amazing, and even better is you all seem to be amazing humans. I hope you all have a great day. ❤️

Pretty much at this point the only thing that would probably stop me from losing still is steroids. Which i obviously dont want to do. Unfortunately it pretty much comes down to calories in for us. Right now i just cant get enough in to really build. BUT i know this is part of my journey. Another hump to get over. But i also dont want to fast forward to when i can eat MORE again. Im just taking this time to learn and prepare for when that time does come! Your situation is tough because you just had the revision and dont have anymore left to lose. I would definitely talk to your nutritionist on how to get those extra cals in.

Almost every single person who has had WLS goes through a stall at about this time. Stick to your diet. All is well!

Alright, so like you, i started working out working out right after surgery. I chose to do crossfit and running as my main forms of exercise. I do 4-5 days at cross fit and i run 3 days a week. Usually 2 moderate days of 3-5 miles and one day of long distance 6-13 depending. So we are similar in our workouts. But for me i was at 800 cals for months 2-6 and ive recently been trying to get 1200-1300 these last couple months. Some days i can and some days i cant. I try my best. My goal was to lose the weight and try to maintain my strength until i could start eating more and enough to actually gain muscle. Well i definitely have gotten weaker from when i was 386 but im also much more defined now. 215 is my goal weight. But for me that didnt mean i was gonna get to it and then just go straight into maintenance mode. I know im not done losing weight. And im not going to force my pouch or sleeve and my body to be in pain because i want muscle NOW. I always figured id drop below 200 and then level out. And then i can gain muscle back to 215. Right now i want to take full advantage of my sleeve. and yes while im frustrated i cant do all the heavy weights at crossfit just yet, im able to do some many other things that i never could. Pull ups push ups. box jumps. run a half marathon. The list goes on. As much as i want to get back to benching 365, i know thats a pipe dream for a while. I wish you all the luck and keep us updated on everything. Im pretty impressed you can get those many cals in. I feel like i have to eat all day to get 1300. I posted a pic just to show you where im at. 212 currently.
