I never got any notice that there was a reply lol Things are still going good! I broke the 200lb mark! It took a lot to hit it, but now I'm below that and I'm never looking back! Every once in a while, I get disappointed because it's slowed down.. but then I realize no matter what, I would have NEVER have been able to lose this much weight in 6 months... probably not even in a year. Just now my work schedule has changed so I'm going to join a gym and hope it picks up from here!

Hey everyone! It's been a long time since I've checked in! I'm down to where I can wear just large leggings, size 14 jeans, and large or medium shirts. My smart scale now gets confused over if it's my big football playing kiddo on the scale who's gained a few or me who's lost weight! lol The kids and I went on vacation to Florida and it was nonstop on the go.. and I was able to keep up. I was able to ride every ride at universal/disney. I also was confident enough to walk around the beach in a 1 piece with no cover up! I'm loving life and SO close to being under 200 lbs, which has probably been like 15-17 years for me!

I don't think anyone has lost any weight... but my sister tried to follow the same diet as me... without the surgery. It didn't go well. I had an appointment with body comp last week... I'm down 6.75 inches off my waist! Also, I'm doing low fat, low carb... but recently was told to increase carbs to increase weight loss.

I'm down 45.9 lbs since Nov 9 when I started preop diet. Less than 100 lbs from goal! I had no preexisting conditions and no health conditions before surgery.Yes, overweight, but nothing else. I'm a pre nursing student so I know just enough to make me dangerous! lol

Hi everyone! I've been so busy with kids, work, school, and just life! Weight loss has slowed down some, but still 10 lbs in the last month, so way better than I would have ever done on my own! Friday I had a dr appointment with my PCP for a referral about a cyst I have on my forehead... as I lose weight, it's becoming more noticable. I also mentioned I think I had a UTI. So did the customary pee in a cup. She said that the urine showed signs of liver issues... like too much urobilinogen and bilirubin in my urine, as well as ketones. So she ordered blood tests. The blood tests aren't exactly normal either, but of course I haven't heard from her because the test came back after office hours, and she's off on monday and tuesdays. A friend said it may have been because I had fatty liver... but wouldn't someone have said something throughout the whole prep for surgery process if that was the case?

I'm feeling fine... it was just like a 48 hour cold

In the last few days, it's slowed down for me. bouncing back and forth a few tenths of a lb. I was hoping to be down 50 by the end of the year... Nevermind on that lol

I don't have enough symptoms to be tested yet. But we've been under quarantine since 12/2

I'm so frustrated... my daughter had covid, we're still quarantined. Now I have a bit of a runny nose and am sneezing. I have no clue if I have COVID or a cold...

Good morning! I'm so excited. I've lost way more than I ever thought I would lose. Did anyone else have fears that this wouldn't work? I really thought I was going to go through all of this for no reason and still be fat, and keep gaining weight. It's working! It's hard, but it's working!!

Yeah, I can't do pureed. LOL I pick soft foods already, and there's a lot of things on my allowed list that didn't need to be pureed... like baked fish, tuna or egg salad, soup, cream of wheat.

Congrats on the loss! I do still have some pain, and it's kind of random. But if you think about it, our digestive systems had it's "crap" rocked lol and our abs are swiss cheese. So sometimes I forget I had surgery 2 weeks ago... and other times I'm like, oh, there it is. lol

I also took pictures the morning of surgery. I haven't taken any since, I don't want to be disappointed in not seeing a difference! I'm not sure when I will retake them. Maybe at 1 month since surgery?

It's going great! I already notice a few differences... my feet aren't as swollen- my flip flops are loose. I'm doing pretty good on eating, nothing has went over bad yet, which is awesome. I'm pretty excited about the weight loss so far. I am struggling to get all my water in though. The pain is mostly gone, every once in a while I will move wrong and it hurts.

Ladies! It's been 2 weeks since surgery! How's it going for everyone?
