Cataracks: It is devastating when our weight's not moving. But it will. Are you drinking a lot of Water. You might start if not already, taking Omega 3 fish oil capsules. Eat more fish that are loaded with Omeaga 3's. I like wild caught. I don't see any benefits in eating farm raised. you can do this! look how much you've lost so far. Me I've pretty much have come to a stand still and are only losing ozs. I'm about close to my goal. So I will take whatever I can get. Hehehehehe. Hang in there. ;)

I eat a lot of salmon, but since I have Omega 3s at home, I will take them. I've upped my Protein and will try to get more Water in.

Isn't it funny how the skinny out there tell you simplistically that if you expend more calories than you take in then you will lose weight. It's true, but only partially. There are so many other factors at work.

Ounces are good. You'll get there as I will. I just want it to hurry up too much and it's counterproductive.

Still on track, by I am kind of zig zagging out of the 150s this week. I won't do a final weekly weigh in until Friday when I see my PCP.

I just want to thank everyone so much for the motivation to keep up with my nutrition this week. I really think I can hit this goal if I stay focused.

I think my stall broke. I don't know if it was the higher Protein, more Water of the bit of dark chocolate I ate. Don't laugh. There are studies out there that show that it works. These 72% bars I get are are 50 grams, but look at the nutrition

Calories

280

Fat

19g

Carbs

24g

Protein

4g

I only eat 1/8 of the bar or less. It's plenty for a treat and apparently not too bad for you considering the protein and antioxidants. Those on 2,000+ diets can eat the whole bar probably. This is not an excuse to start downing the stuff by the handfuls, but a little goes a long way and it makes me happy.

Sorry dark chocolate haters. Milk chocolate is still crappy for you and has little or none of the advantages of dark chocolate.

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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... :(
