I've found that I can only do it when I'm on a laptop!

Yeah that's extremely frustrating. I needed both failed weight loss attempts w my Dr AND comorbidities to get approved. I'm sorry this is so difficult for you. Keep fighting it!

Full liquids right? Yes! You can have tomato soup. I practically lived off of that stuff. Good luck & sleep well!

I really hope it works out! All these attempts sounds stressful & frustrating

I did not feel my energy come back till my 3rd month & even then I still took it easy, but I'm at my 4th month & doing high impact workouts now. It should come back!

Yep! I've experienced a few stalls. I only lost like 5lbs~ in my 3rd month while I was doing everything correctly but I lost almost tripple that in my 4th month. Just keep at it! Stalls are normal & they will continue to happen. If you stick to your plan you will break out of it & your hard work will pay off.

CONGRATS. Celebrate Multi Complete Chewables & Celebrate Calcium Soft Chews have been essential for me!

"high protein, calorie deficit & I workout 4x a week" because it's still true!

WOW so much bitterness seeps from that comment. Who knows what she says when you're not around

No bc I still eat good food! I'm having beef stew for dinner tomorrow & today I had chicken kebabs, & yesterday I had tri-tip. The only difference is that the portions are smaller & the sides I usually had are now different (im 4mos out so I still have some limitations I have to follow) I still very much enjoy eating!

Ohhh I love this! I'll have to get the tikki masala! Thanks

I will soon be seeing my family for the first time in a long time. Some haven't seen me since I was 295lbs (136lbs ago) & this is what I'm worried about. I assume a lot of my family will be supportive but I think the ones I'm not as close to might talk behind my back. Ugh I'm worried. I'd also love to hear other's stories

I just dealt with this with a irl friend. They were so excited to talk to a surgeon about surgery, got the booklet w the pre-op & post op diet & immediately said 'never mind' - he thought it was just magically going to work on its own. He said had thought surgery would magically stop him from eating every 30mins & I told him you can do that w the surgery too. So I agree with this. The "tool" thing is important for people to realize it's not the magic spell they think it is.

BUMP because this is a good thread! Today I am celebrating the fact that I now weigh 159, which is LESS than I weighed during a certain year middle school! I'm VERY happy 😊

I ordered clothes, dresses, jackets etc in a size too small as inspiration to lose more & IT ALL FIT. I can't believe I'm now a medium!
