Almost 3 months out

[ngory07 22]

On April 24th I will be exactly 3 months out. I have lost 67 lbs since then and I feel great!!! I started out at 304 and today I am 237. I still have a long way to go but it no longer feels impossible. The one thing that I need to do that Im not is taking Vitamins. I know I know. I should be but I cant keep them down. I dont do well with Bariatric Advantage or Celebrate. Im just going to start doing the gummies I think. Some is better than none.

I also dont eat a low fat or sugar free "diet". I do track everything I eat on myfitnesspal.com I try to stick to whole natural foods. Occasionally I have a cookie and its the real stuff. I try to drink either Water or unsweetened tea but there are days I will hav OJ or sweet tea. I do full fat cheeses and everything but in moderation. I figure that no that quality is so important why put cardboard tasting stuff in my mouth?? It has worked. I also try to workout 3-4 times a week and I do Zumba. I have been trying to swich to a mostly organic lifestyle.

I have went from a size 24 to a 20. I thought it would be more? Can anyone tell me if this is normal? I have heard peopl say that the smaller you get the more drastic the change in sizes gets??

Any feedback on this??

Hey, we are surgery twins, I am also three months on the 24th. (ETA: Doh, math non-genius here -- I am TWO months out, not three lol) But you have done much better than me, I've only lost about 29 pounds. I'll take it, though, as I wasn't losing weight before the surgery, that's for sure. Like you, I also tend to not eat too many "diet" foods, though I do eat sugar-free as much as possible.

In my opinion and experience, there are more pounds between sizes when you're in double digits or women's sizes -- I could wear the same size through like 25 pounds, but back in my thin days, 5-10 pounds could put me from an 8 to a 10.

Congrats on the great loss so far!

Hello Ladies, Congrats on loosing all that weight. I am so happy for your success. I am not doing so well in loosing the weight. I started at 277 lbs and went down to 243 at the moment. (size 24 to an 18 sometimes a 16. I have only lost a total of 34lbs. That is very discouraging. My surgery was on Dec 31st. I feel like I need more food to be full and also get bored of the same foods. i have been lifting t light weights to tone my arms about a month now, and I do crunches at least 5 times a week. I use to walk on the treadmill but I have stopped doing that. I dont know what to do. I dont want to go tell the Doctor, there is nothing he could do about it.

Try Theragran M Advanced vitamins....they are coated so they slide down really easily. Believe me, I cannot take horse pills, I gag them back up, these are on the large side, but the coating is the best thing! NEVER get stuck, and never come back up!
