Down to 140! So excited to be in the 130's soon

I'm rooting for you so hard! Hitting 100 is gonna feel amazing!

That's so frustrating, almost everything I was going to reccomend you mentioned you already do! The only thing I'd add is focusing on upping your protein intake maybe?

It's unfortunately a waiting game right now. The hair loss is very hard to avoid. As long as you keep up with your vitamins & protein, it will eventually stop!

Currently dealing with a stall & stuck at 141lbs. I'm changing up my workout & going back to drinking a protein shake for dinner. That has helped me break stalls before & I'm hoping that helps again!

I dealt with pretty aggressive hair loss but it's stopped! I now lose nearly nothing. I just take my multivitamin & take 2 Calcium Citrate vitamins each day. However stopping the hair loss came with time. Unfortunately for now you just have to wait it out. Just keep up with your vitamins, protein & the hair loss will eventually stop.

Mine: I'm 6lbs away from hitting my next goal weight of 135lbs! I may aim for 125lbs after that.

Share your latest update! How much have you lost so far? How far along are you? What food stage are you at? What new foods have you tried? Share anything you'd like!

Congratulations!! That's such an amazing feeling. I'm 2.7kgs (6lbs) from hitting my goal & I'm so excited! These last few lbs are SO stubborn

Embrace it girl!! Some of that may be water weight but this is not a bad thing. Just as long as you feel good you should be ok. Stay hydrated!

I now have the cardio to workout for an hour+ straight everyday!

Agreed w/ mcipanda. Air feels very similar to hunger. Just keep sipping water!

Your LOOSEST fitting pj's. Pants will fit tightly after surgery thanks to the gas pumped into the stomach. You'll appreciate the extra room in your pants in the ride back home

Agreed with everyone else. Nothing physically happens when you do a reset, it just snaps you back to being disciplined. Going back to protein shakes may be helpful in helping you lose that weight

Yeah don't drop your protein shakes! I'm 6mos out & I still use those to hit my protein goals. They make life much easier

You don't. I take 1 sip of water after eating & even then you can FEEL you weren't suppose to do that. It feels best to wait

Yess the Chipotle kid's meal is also great! Q protein, 2 toppings/fillers & tortilla or taco shells. It's more than enough!

Hope all goes well for you!

Yess had a carbonated flavored water today at 6months post op & had ZERO issues!

Yes it's very overwhelming! I got 2 booklets with 1 being as big as a college textbook. Treating it like school work, using post it notes, highlighters, notes etc made it easy. Studying a BIT each day & really absorbing new info each day instead of all at once made it easier

High protein, low carb calorie deficit with low impact excersices! I was just consistent with it

I have a history of NOT keeping weight loss off long term*** oops

Congrats!! I'm glad you ended up looking into it. The idea that this surgery isn't for men is such a weird stigma, EVERYONE deserves to be at a healthy weight & I'm glad you get that now! Not going to lie, the liquid diet is difficult. It was the toughest part of this journey but in the grand scheme of things it was a tiny drop in a pool of water. The results are so worth it & you will look back on the liquid stage as just a crazy time you went through. I reccomend Fairlife protein shakes for that stage. They are genuinely tasty & good flavor makes that time a bit easier.

You absolutely CAN. I lost 95lbs pre-op. However, I have a history of keeping weight loss off long term. I got the surgery & it's helping me keep weight off & continue to lose. I only regret not getting it sooner. From WebMD: "Only around 5% of people who fall in the morbidly obese range are successful at losing weight without surgical assistance."

One of my stalls lasted 4 weeks. Just stick to your plan & you will definitely break it!
