I am about 4 months post op and for some reason I have gotten off track.. I don't know if it is because I am free to eat anything so I am pushing my limits with sweets, my gym time is getting less and less, I am forgetting my Vitamins. Things are getting out of control quickly... please tell me I am not the only one that this is happening too.. I honestly had no idea that this would be like a full time job keeping track of everything.. Tonight I get back control of this but man this is way harder then I thought it would be...

I have lost almost 100lbs since I start the process 3 years ago ( when I first started playing with the idea of having surgery) .. since my surgery I am down 43lbs.. I wish there was a way to add those dates to the tracker. According to my status on the Baritastic App I am averaging about 2lbs a week. I think I am just so worried about failing, or disappointing my surgeon/medical team.
Thank you for the boost of confidence.. your stats are amazing.. my boobs are starting to get flat too ( next shoping experience is bra's)

Hey guys... I just wanted to check in.. I am going next week for my 3 month post op appointment and for some reason I am feeling really down.. I don't feel like I have done enough, lost enough , or working out enough. I am going to buckle down a little more this week.. I have some meal planning to do and hope that I might lose a little bit more before this appointment..
On a good note.. I am now on bag number 3 of donation clothes, most of my closet is pretty cleaned out. looking at super cut summer clothes. I went shopping last night bought a new pair of jeans. I have gone from a size 26-24 2xl-3xl to an 18 pants, xl shirt. so excited for cloths shopping..
I hope everyone else is doing good...

Well my dealer is back.. those cute little girls that ask in such a sweet voice if I want to buy Girl Scout cookies... of course I buy them.. how do you tell them no.. I took them home last night $20.00 worth . Thank goodness I have 3 boys and a husband around to eat them. I did put my favorite box up in the cabinet after only eating one cookie... Gosh I hope the dealer goes away soon...

I have an appointment with the family Dr on the 22nd and will show her what is going on to have it documented.. I honestly did not know if I would do skin removal cause I did not think it would be an issue but I am only 10 weeks Post op and still have 95lbs to lose so I am sure I am going to need it..
I will try the baby powder/ cornstarch blend..

My sugery was 11/29.. as of this morning I am 32lbs down.. I started back into the gym on Monday, 8 weeks post op. I have not really had a weight stall yet, I am noticing that my Hair loss has picked up so I am getting it cut on Tuesday. I am off all my food restrictions so I am excited about trying out all kinds of food. Going clothes shopping this weekend to pick up a few things as my clothes are falling off me.. This has been a fun, stressful and frustrating journey but I am here for it...

I am down about the same as you and I have slowly bought new pants and shirts.. I am currently living in leggings and oversize shirts ( never thought I would say that) I am waiting until Spring/ Summer to buy clothes and getting by with the bare now. I am also watching for sales getting things that way.

I am getting 65-80 Protein a day and 60oz of Water a day..

I am down 35 pounds since surgery and people already tell me they see a difference in my face, I am starting to notice it now.

I got one for Christmas and totally love it... So nice to be able to have a sweet treat at night and not have to think about it. I have pinned so many recipes on Pinterest that I cant wait to try. It is defiantly loud but only for a few minutes, you have to remember to keep bases in the freezer since they have to be there for 24 hours before you spin them but those are just little things..
I currently have Fairlife chocolate with sugar free Cheesecake pudding blended in, in the freezer.. I am going to be working on a Dole Whip one for this weekend...

I got my surgery date today... November 29th... Gastric Bypass... Now to start planning, getting together everything I need and trying to not stress myself out until then....

I am currently on the pureed stage and it has been a struggle... I am living on yogurt, cottage cheese, scrambled eggs, Soups, Protein lemonade, protein pudding and Protein Shakes. it has been hard but I am understanding the process. I did try to cheat the process and have something I thought I could handle and well.. that did not end well...
There is light at the end of the tunnel, a more food will become available to you.. I am finding the first 2 months are the hardest but you will soon find your groove and foods..
Also 13lbs is amazing.. your body has gone through to much in such a short amount of time.. give yourself grace and get excited about every little thing your body does.. Also I am sure that you are losing inches along with pounds.

I am 2 weeks post op now from gastric bypass.. I am doing ok on the pureed diet but really ready for some food. I am thinking I am going to love the soft food stage when I can add more things.. went back to work yesterday but I am so tired from the long days. This has been a little harder then I thought it would but I am making due..

my husband is starting to notice changes in me and I am noticing clothes are starting to fit weird. it is not often I get to say that me clothes are getting big.. off to see how this week goes..

Well I had my gastric bypass on the 29th and I got home yesterday. The first day and a half was rough, painful and I was full of doubts. Now that I am home I am good. I am keeping Water, Jello and Protein Gatorade down. I am going to try some broth and yogurt today. Now trying to figure out this Christmas stuff for 3 boys.

Tomorrow is my day, I am so nervous and wondering if I am making the right choice ( I know I am). Tonight I need to pack for the hospital and make sure my boys are good.. I am little frustrated that I have not lost anything on the Preop diet ( I stepped on the scale this morning)...
Good Luck to the few people who today is there big day!!

You look amazing!!!

Just came back from my Pre-Op appointment... starting my diet next Wednesday for sx on 29th... making my final list of things that I need....

Best of Luck!!
