Keep it up as long as you feel better that’s what matters. Everyone loses weight different I’ve just started slowing down losing weight now which it’s been 6 months since Feb 8 so I figured it would by now. I’m down 100lbs exact since surgery still got more to go but I’m feeling great and that’s what matters keep it up!!!

I do have a target weight of 190lbs I’m 5’5 I had started at 358lbs and am now at 258lbs I don’t know if my goal is reasonable but it’s just something to work towards and keep trying to get to it. Our bodies have been through a major change and we are not going to reach our goals overnight. We all have a lot that needs to change including tightening of loose skin which is also extra weight which takes longer to get rid of. Just don’t give up on your self and keep your eyes on your goal. It might take over a year to get that but it may not take that long. Just stay focused you got this we all do 😁

Thanks and yes there really should be a name

Congratulations on getting out of the 300’s. It’s a shame there is not a clever little name for that like onederland because it’s just as big of a deal. Yay for you!!

You're def right! I try not to check my weight every day anymore. Usually every 3 days. I should go less because some days it makes me so frustrated. I also bought a smaller pair of pants that are soooo tight so when I can fit in them or they're loose, I'll know regardless of the number that my weight has gone down.

I had my surgery on Valentine's Day [emoji3590]
I'm officially at 270 as of this morning. I was at 309 when I went in for surgery. I want this damn weight to come off faster but I guess slow and steady wins the race. Its still funny to me being the fat person that doesn't eat anything. Obviously people who know I had surgery don't judge me about that but going to events and stuff with people I'm not familiar with and eating a couple bites of food while weighing 270 lbs is a funny image [emoji1787]

I'm down 47. 2 months out as well. Only lost .3 this week, unfortunately.

Well everyone just had my two month follow up and I’m officially down 50lbs! How’s everyone else doing?

Hey everyone I had surgery 2/8 so I’m at 6 weeks post op I’m still only able to eat two small meals and I drink a Protein Shake to make up for the last meal and still no Snacks. I am drinking atleast 5-7 Water bottles a day so I’m also hitting my water take. It takes time soon enough you all will start to feel more and more normal atleast for your new stomach.

Hope everyone has been doing well since their surgeries and are having successful weight loss 😁

I did this so in the future me and my husband can have a child because of infertility issues from being over weight. My doctors said not to get pregnant for atleast 18-24 months because my body wouldn’t be able to support a child and myself with proper nutrition and would cause a high risk of complications during pregnancy.

Sadly I’m on day 23 and the pain is still strong it feels like something is pulling in my stomach and if I bend at all it’s a stabbing pain

Hey all had my surgery 2/8/22 just trying to see where everyone is at I started at 358 today I’m down 25lbs at 333

My husband did this to me and made me feel like crap because of it. I still felt it was best for me and went through with it and I basically said this is what I want and I hope you can become supportive of my decisions. He has come around and is now very helpful and supportive. Express how much it means to you and that you hope they will become supportive good luck with your surgery!

Yes put some chicken broth and chicken in a blender and it’s not to bad

For vitamins I use the Walmart childrens chewable and they work ok for me for Calcium I use Caltrate plus Vitamin D and I’ve had good luck with that the Protein Shakes I couldn’t do I ended up finding Premier Protein juice and I handle that pretty well or get unflavored Protein powder and add it to something u can drink or add it to applesauce that’s what was recommended to me

I am and I’m eating chicken well the thing they always tell me is eat Protein first. I also can have mozzarella cheese just make sure to chew everything like a million times lol

Yikes! My surgery is Monday. Im getting so nervous 😩 But this forum has been able to validate every crazy & logical feelings I have lol Now it’s put up or shut up, go time 💪🏽

I’m gonna try measuring and see if that helps me

I am 7 months out and I still cant tell, I could in the early days say the 3 month mark but now nope I am just guessing when I have had enough and sometimes I think I eat to much but I just don't feel any restriction the way others describe it

Stick to 1/4 cup and 1/2 cup portion sizes and stop when you've eaten that much even if you don't feel full.

You’ll work out your cues for real hunger & feeling satisfied. It just takes a little time. Try not to eat until you’re full though, but stop when you’ve had enough - big difference. The message you’re full actually takes a bit of time to get through & when you do think you’re full you’re likely really or overly full. It’s one of the reasons we’re advised to eat slowly. I still ask myself do I need this next bite or just want it? Never be afraid to put your cutlery down & sit back from the table.
