I'm 8 months out and struggle with getting 1000. I have 0 problem meeting protein and water goals daily. Usually I don't go over 500 to 800. Which sucks. I get full really fast. Hopefully this improves for me.

We have the same stats! You are my goals!!!!!!

You look amazing

Nov 3rd I made 8months. I am 110 pounds down 13 more to go. I am very grateful for this journey. From a size 24 to a size 6. SW 268,CW 158

My first two months I spent in and out of the hospital. They were tough! Week 10 onto now is much easier.

Just an update I am 167 now… The weight is just creeping off ?. I am now 7 months 5 days post op. Thank you for all your responses!!!?

So, I didn’t take a picture of my food( didn’t think about it), but I had boiled shrimp with egg whites…. OMG I managed to eat 8 shrimp large in a sitting and two eggs which is amazing for me. Next time I will definitely take a pic! It was so good!

Hey Guess when did your weightloss plateau? I am 6 months out and struggling getting off my last 30 pounds. I eat super healthy, no alcohol, take my vitamins, drink my liquids and workout 5 days a week.

Thank you I definitely need to stay off the scale for a few days!

Try care.com. I hired a lady on there to bring and pick me up I just told her the situation because my husband now(boyfriend at the time) was over the road. Greatly, for me he ended up letting his job know he had to leave so he brought me instead.

That was my pre surgery goal, but my new goal is 145. Thank you for your encouragement.

Thank you so much! The stalls really had me discouraged. Congratulations on your achievements!

I wanted to hit my second target weight. I’ll be thrilled when I’m no longer overweight. I hit so many stalls. I definitely didn’t think I would be 145 in 6 months, but I would’ve hoped I would be 170. I know it’s just 3 pounds, but it’s like my body is holding on to these three pounds for dear life!

Hey guys I had surgery March 3rd 2021. I am literally 2 days shy of 6 months and I am livid. I eat healthy, drink water all day, exercise everyday one hour and I didn’t hit my second weight loss goal and I doubt I will by my 6 month mark. I am 5’4 my pre surgery weight was 268 and I’m now 173. My overall goal is 145. I have hit several stalls month 4 and 5 not sure why. What are your stats and have you hit any stalls? When did your weightloss slow down what did you do to get the pounds back to dropping. My dr is happy with my weightloss but I am devastated by the slow process.

Thank you all for your responses. I am happy to see I am not alone. I haven’t even replaced my 2X clothes because I’m mentally comfortable In them. How can I be disappointed with them. I’ve always worn 2X tights and 2X shirt. I have no idea what my true size is now. Everything I have is big on me but it’s my safe place for now.

I had surgery March 3, 2021. I was 268 at the beginning of my journey and 262 at the time of surgery. I am 173 as of today. I know I have lost weight but when I look into the mirror I see the same size pre surgery.

My A1C without insulin was 13 with insulin it was 5.4. Now I’m maintaining a 5

Very true, due to swelling I couldn’t drink until week 8. I was admitted to the hospital for a week and given a pic-line. It was painful, but I think my biggest problem was the thrash throwing off my taste. After week 8 I was able to drink water but not artificial sweeteners. After week 16 I was able to tolerate artificial sweeteners.

Yes, I had RNY and my belly got really swollen after especially after I had something with artificial sweeteners. They ran all the test CT scan nothing came up. I’m just really sensitive and had to wait for the swelling to go down and the sutures to heal. July 3rd I make 4 months out. Feeling fine now. It improved for me week 8.

Yeah it lasted 3 weeks I’ve lost 21 pounds since then.

I’m 3 months out

Yes! I love chicken i smoother(beef broth) bake( beef broth) and crockpot it(beef broth) so tender.

Chicken was all I could tolerate at first but I make my chicken extra moist and falling off the bone tender. I only eat drumsticks because that’s all I’ve ever eaten from a chicken.
