Congrats on your 100+ lbs..

Tips/Suggestions

#1 how's your restriction??

Go back to the beginning

Do the 5 day pouch test (google it)

Keep a food Diary - Keep calories between 800-1200 and vary them daily (weigh & measure food to make sure of your portions)

Exercise 4-5 days a week - Cardio & Weights - you need to work w/some weights if you aren't already as the more muscles you have the more calories you burn just breathing :0) your resting metabolisam is higher if your body has more muscles..

Eat healthy foods that you like - if you are hungry eat some extra veggies.. Remember this isn't a diet but a lifestyle change

I know some pple who's bf is their most important meal - they have a big one - where as I eat lite for bf & lunch - as dinner is my main meal ..

You can do this - you got the 100+ off - so you can get the other 25 off - it might not come off as fast - but you can get them off..

Hugs Janet

Congrats Indigo! I am taking it looks like 3 years to complete my journey if I keep staying on track to lose a total of 200 lbs but I know with my little band friend I will get there. Can't wait until my 3rd bandiversary, the 2nd one slipped by in a flurry of crazy times at my job and I didn't really take time to Celebrate. Now I had another .4 cc fill this week and restriction is back and I now realize I needed something months ago. So, I keep on plugging away. It is a lifetime commitment!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
