I have lost 135 lb since 7-2 surgery. I love what I have achieved with this amazing tool and have elevated my existence. The only problem is that at 6 months I am starting to get bored of the having the same foods all the time ( mainly chicken). I need to be careful as to not eat other foods out of boredom. I am trying now to make some dishes and finding dishes when eating out that maximize flavor while still being very healthy.

Well today is 6 months since my surgery. I have lost 54.6 lbs. Sometimes I get discouraged by the slow loss but then I remind myself I am right on track. I have now lost 60% of my excess weight of 90 lbs which is what is to be expected. What is the expected weight loss after this time period? I don't remember, I'll have to go back and research. It is great to see so much success on this thread

Hi MaryPoppins-

Here are my stats:

Heaviest : 365 lb (approx. 6-1-2012)

Surgery: 335 b (7-2-2012)

Today: 200 lb (1-3-2013)

It has not been easy and has honestly been a lot of effort and persistence. I thank everyone on this forum for their explicit and implicit support. I could not have done it without all of you. You all are the best!!

My biggest problem is that I get bored. Bored with food, bored with work, bored with just being me.

This has been increasingly a problem within the last week or two. I used to turn to food when bored pre surgery and have just started having more cravings for food Have not reached for bad food lately, but there are days when I feel down for no particular reason at all. Darn my psyche. Exercise and being active definitely helps chase these feelings away, but I would like to feel good all the time. I would have to say feel good "like" taking an oxycodone, or running, or hiking, or good sex. All these get the enorphines flowing. I hate feeling down and bored.

I fear I am going to develop som cross addiction if I do not get a handle on these bored and down feelings that are no longer being satisfied with food. I am not anxious or depressed any longer and I thank god (and the positive effects from this surgery) to be free from that. Depression and anxiety really immobilized me previously as a person. Any ideas?

My "success" weight is 180. This is just a goal based on the bmi chart for my height. I do not feel too strongly about that specific number. I feel and look great now. I will get a chance to discuss with my surgery doctor in a couple weeks (6 month appointment). Do you or anyone else have suggestions about a good goal weight?

I was sleeved on July 9th and I am down 104 lbs. Things are going well although I'm at a plateau right now. Certainly doesn't help being the holidays either!!

My dr and I used the BMI chart too. I thought once I get to the top of normal BMI I could reevaluate.

I post all the time around here, but thought I would chime in.

Weight DOS 7/18 - 209 (36 BMI)

Original GW - 145 (24 BMI)

CW - 141

New Goal - ???

When I started my journey I wanted to lose 100 pounds I have currently lost 105 pounds looking to get to about 160-165 now I past my goal of 100 pounds of weight loss at just 4 months I am now almost 6 months I went from 280 pounds to 175 pounds I have not tried to lose Any more weight after reaching the 175 pound mark now looking to lose another 10-15 pounds I have been eating whatever I wanted not paying attention to what just the amount I have not lost anymore weight but I have not gained anything either for the past 4-6 weeks today I decided to go for the remaining 10-15 pounds so I will achieve that goal soon

I am aiming for 160-165 pounds I am 5 foot 9 inches tall now at a 30 inch waist but pants are lose on me I started at 46+ pants I refused to buy any larger waist than the 46 inch I would only wear sweat pants or baggy fitting clothes

I feel so much better now my blood pressure is normal without meds my feet knees and ankles thank me with no more pain

When I feel like reaching for bad food I eat a jar of pickled mussels. You feel as though you are eating heaps as you are allowed a whole 100g jar. They contain 19 grams of Protein and only 102 calories. Cockles are pretty much the same. Hope this helps.

That is good every good im 23 plds away from goal weight
