Hello All,

I have not been on here in a while and thought I should be more involved. So latterly, I have started eating sweets again. I am trying to get a handle on it but I have been eating sweets (hard candy) and chips again. I have still even with the sweets and chips been staying within my calories and getting my Protein in but I just think I need to refocus. I still workout 5 days a week (3 with a trainer and 2 at gym doing solely cardio). My weight loss has slowed down a lot but I am still losing with no gains. This month I think I only lost around 9lbs (not sure) but I need to get it together because I still have a long journey ahead of me. 9lbs away from first major goal and 29lbs away from overall goal - and I am approximately a little over 7 months out.

I haven't posted on this thread in ages. AGES PEOPLE!! My bad. Right now I'm 217 lbs. I need to lose 5 more lbs and I will be 100 lbs down from my program start weight and 123 from my all time highest weight ever. I'm in a size 18 pants and 16 top. My next mini goal is 199. Where I will treat myself to a fancy Kensie dress (which I posted in the aspirational shopping thread I started in the powder room - go post something)!

Stop drinking it!! Do you have another source of Protein that you can use? If not focus on the other things you can have. And sip Water that's the most important thing anyway. Sounds like you're fresh out of surgery. Don't sweat the protein at this point.

feeling so much better today! whew! i am giving away everything with artificial sweetners in it. i am realizing that post surgery NONE of it is agreeing with my new stomach. it ALL is bloating me up so badly. after my throat started to swell yesterday i started paying close attention to everything i drank with artificial sweetners, and i realized that IT ALL bloated me up within 30 minutes--a bloat almost as painful as the gas i had coming out of surgery. but when i thin liquids out and add just a TINY bit of REGULAR sugar, it all goes down without a hitch, no bloating, no pain, no dumping. this morning i had a 12 oz cup of tea with just a teaspoon of sugar in it, and i felt like i was in heaven. and so far---NO BLOAT OR GAS, and this was 1.5 hours ago. i still have quite a bit to go--but i just feel SO much better.

Hey Everyone, I have not been in the forum in awhile.. Getting back into routine of things. Here's my update: HW 298, CW 222, GW 165.. I went from size 22/24W to size 14 misses. Shirt size, i went from 3XL in Plus size to XL in misses.

Only problems i am having at this point is the Hair loss and for the last week whenever i eat something I get a feeling of nausea. It does not matter what I eat.

Two weeks ago while in church my husband put his arm round my waist and his arm was able to reach all the way around me. I got a little emotional.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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!!
