Hi guys,

I posted a topic about a month ago where I hit a stall. I just couldnt lose weight for nothing. I think I was actually gaining weight. Well I took some advice from some people on here and it worked. I was eating:

Breakfast: one egg (usually white), 2 slices of bacon and maybe a slice of toast

snack; orange juice or popcorn

lunch: 1/2 tuna sandwich

snack: 1/2 soda or 10 grapes

dinner: maybe a snow crab cluster, or tuna, or 4 scallops or maybe a chicken leg

snack: pork rinds

exercise 1 hour a day (EVERYDAY)

and I was not losing anything. well i changed things up. I started paying more attention to my calorie intake. I modified some things and the weight started falling off again

Now I eat:

Breakfast: 1 package of instant oatmeal

snack; 1/2 serving of orange juice (i need the oj to help keep my blood sugar high enough to keep me going)

Lunch: 1 cup of salad with low fat dressing (no meat on my salad. just plain romaine lettuce, carrots, cucumber...basic salad)

snack: 10 grapes

Dinner: something seafoodish with lots of Protein

snack 1/2 cup popcorn

and during the day i enjoy TONS of propel zero (no calories, fat or carb) or crystal light (theres some calories in it, but i dont drink much maybe 2 packages a week) and when I want to splurge I get a sprite zero or a diet sparkling green tea with strawberry and kiwi (no calories) AND exercise everyday for 1 hr

Well because I have reduced my intake, I just weighed in at.......289!!! the first time since graduating High school i have been under 333!!! So now I got 90 pounds to onederland!!!! I can do it and I know I can now....GO ME!!!

WooHoo! Way to go girl! 300 was a mile stone for me just as it is for you too. I was also excited about losing 100 pounds which was at about 275 for me.

Keep up the good work - you can do it!

I absolutely love it when people break their stalls... I know how frustrating it is and what a complete uplift it is to see the scale move again. Good for you ... keep up the good work and positive attitude!! =]

      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

      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... :(
