Add your tickers...they are good for inspiring people, even yourself sometimes!

Also take your measurements, they are as important as pounds on this journey.

You start big, generally. The same thing is happening to me on the pre-op diet.

Or you can get the flu. :P

yes I am sure the flu would help with loss... I know when I was on hcg.. I lost a lb a day and that was drastic.. but it came back with a vengeance... make sure you are getting enough Vitamins and water...

Sharpie bc I was easily consuming 5-6000 calories in a day then literally overnight went into my preop diet which was about 8-900 calories a day plus the fact that I starting walking 45 mins everyday on top of working a 60 hour week and having a special needs son. I also already participated in my first 5k.Being that active and weighing as much as I do I'm buring calories like crazy I used the exact same scale wearing the exact same thing. The only time the # varies is at my drs office by about a lb or so and that is bc I'm not naked whem I weigh there. So anyway it is completely possible I was down 22 lbs b4 my surgery. And in the 2 weeks since have lost the other 18.4...anyway good night I have an early date with my headphones at the gym tomorrow

Well like I said I started at such a high weight 382.2 so that helped in losing more but I just followed their rules I dropped 22 lbs b4 surgery with the preop diet and afterwards drinking plenty of Water small bites chewing well waiting between bites and making good choices the band os by no means a quick fix you have to make good choices (foodwise) and exercise I did a 5k a week after surgery and walk on treadmill 45mins a day 5 -6 days a week

      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!!

      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
