Hi everyone! Wow has life been a whirlwind. I am starting a new job on Monday, which I am psyched. I joined Golds gym this week, which I am loving how I am feeling.... I have been having difficulty with some foods, however my little cuisine art processor is my best friend. Yesterday I was able to push through just over 2 miles, and burned 510 calories. It felt so good to do that. I am so excited with the changes I am seeing and feeling with my body..... When I lost weight before, I had saved my "skinnier" clothes and am now able to wear a good number of them. The other day I was the girl with the apple bottom jeans, boots with the fur! Lol.... Hope you all are enjoying this journey!

Anne-Cuse, I really need to use my processor more. I keep trying to chew things down and it just ain't happening! Can't hold down any chicken/fish/beef/shrimp. Blah. :/

Stalling here too' date=' RhondaWilliams, after only 38 lbs... Maybe the exercise I started is slowing down muscle loss? Hope so. <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />[/quote']

I was so disappointed this a.m. when the scales didn't move ...tried to get in Protein today and extra Water so "fingers crossed" that the scales will move this week! :)

I know what you mean the Protein is horrible. I've tried the protein shots' date=' the high Protein Drinks, protein pre made shakes all of it taste bad. I get very little protein in and im

trying. I don't know what to do.[/quote']

I went to the GNC store an git the whey Protein Powder (no flavor ) an put the powder in a fruit smoothie in the morning. It barely has any taste an is tollerable. I go to costco an get real frozen strawberries n pineapple chunks an use Water instead of milk so its not real creamy an that's been working well. Even my husband drinks em with me every morning. I can attach a picture of the protein in interested.

the stalls are awful!!! they play mind games on you like your doing something wrong!! I guess my weight loss is already slowing down to about 1-2 pounds a week. I hate that being only 7 weeks out. I know it is strictly because the only exercise I am getting mostly is house cleaning and taking care of my 3 year old grandbaby. I joined the Y but hate going by myself and I don't have a vehicle till husband gets off work and by then I have the baby. so I think the Y is not going to work out. I will just have to try and invest in a treadmill

      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... :(
