Thank you! The 50 lbs includes the pre op diet as well. My biggest change has been no soda or even juice . Not even diet . I can't do it, the juice is too sweet. My palette has changed. I don't crave the same things. I stay full longer now. I also measure my food and count my calories. U use MYFitnessPal and it works for me . Andddd I exercise 6 days a week girl! That's what keeps me losing inches and feeling so energized. My recovery was great. No gas pains At All. Not in my shoulder or back like everybody else. I stayed off for 1 full week and rested. That made a huge difference . Took my pain pils when needed and followed the surgeons diet .

Sample:

Breakfast: 100 calorie pack low sugar oatmeal and 1 oz eggbeaters

Lunch: tuna salad on wheat bread

Dinner: small plate , steamed potatoes and 2 chicken wings (grilled)

Tea it Water

I'm still working in this 1/2 cup of food thing. Trying to get to my green zone. I've had 3 fills so far!

My issue is still getting more Protein in and less processed carbs. I started getting heartburn really bad so I cut back. Must have been eating the wrong things . You will be fine. It's so support on here . I'm still trying to figure it out but it's coming along quite well. Feel free to ask any questions.

      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
