HELLO I AM DAY 6 I WOKE UP FEELING GOOD BUT AFTER MY SHOWER AND FIX MY Breakfast I FEEL SO SICK RIGHT NOW I CANT EVEN DRINK MY BREAKFAST, I HAD TO TAKE A NAUSEA PILL. LAST NIGHT WAS RUFF I MUST SAY. I THINK I STRESSED THE MAIN INSISION AND IT BOTHERED ME ALL NIGHT THE ACHE WENT ALL THE WAY TO MY BACK. YES I WAS SCARED BUT I KNEW I WOULD BE OK. I THINK I AM HAVING A REACTION TO TRADER JOES SPICY BLACK BEAN Soup, KEY WORD SPICY LOL.

I WAS ABLE TO GET MY 60 GRAMS OF PROTIEN IN AND I THINK THAT MADE ME SICK AS WELL I WAS FORCING IT BUT I COULDNT FINISH IT NO MATTER HOW HARD I TRIED LOL.

I HOPE EVERYONE WHO HAS HAD THE SURGERY IS DOING WELL. PLEASE SHARE YOUR PROGRESS SO WE CAN LEARN FROM EACH OTHER.

Today is one year since my surgery. Down 150 pounds and 60+ to go. Was hoping to be a bit further, but have had a 3 month stall, mostly because I stopped being so strict with sugar. Back in control and the weight has slowly started moving again. Feels good when I realize I've gone from a size 36 to a 20, from 364 pounds to 210. Can't wait to get under 200. Still very happy with my decision to have the surgery (even with all the sagging skin). Good luck to everyone as we move into our second year.

Way to go Namanda !!!!

Yes this is my place to vent-. I have been doing this for the last 4-6 months. If anyone has ANY suggestions please reply in box what ever. Thanks in advance and again CONGRATS TO EVERYONE AND KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK'n

You started out at a low weight to begin with..i think u have done great! Maybe your body is more happy at 165 range? I wish i was closer to 170 myself but im happy at a size 12. Every is different but congrats on your year..i hit mine on the 5th.

Maybe try upping your calories? I eat 1200 to 1400 and i dont lose but i dont gain. I go over that sometimes and i lose lol go figure. Its all in tricking your metabolism and under 1000 isnt healthy maybe your body is in starvation mode? Try 1100 cals and see how that works..eat every couple hours and its very easy to get that much in.

It will all fall into place. :-)

Happy Anniversary to all of my September sisters!!!

We are all so much better off today than we were this time last year. No mater what your success has been.... Your still a winner!!!!

Now we just have to keep working for the next year and keep posting and supporting each other.

Happy Anniversary sisters!

I was doing the 1100 calories and working out but I gained and not just muscle. Even at 165 I am still overweight because I am only 4'11. My abdomen area is where the weight went back to. I am trying any and everything. High calorie low calorie. I can only eat every 3 hrs and it's small amounts.

Happy Anniversary September Sleevers!! Keep your head held high because we did it!! Continue our journey and we will be fine as wine!!

okay ladies (and gents)...I would like to hear what you do instead of snacking when you feel the snack monster coming...I am trying to find things to do instead of eating...LOL...the eternal struggle for me.

Congrats & Happy Surgiversary to all of you who have celebrated their one year post op (myself included). I lost a total of 63 pounds and have maintained that weight loss. I am happy to post a before & after pic (hope this works).
