Annav, you are doing FINE! Everyone's journey is different. As long as you're getting your Water and Protein and Vitamins you're good! I'm almost 5 months out, down 75#...that's an average of 4# a week.

Like the pp said your doing great babes! I'll be 6 weeks out tomorrow and I know how frustrating it can be to not lose as much as you expected...but I've learned to take it one day at a time and appreciate every pound lost...it's a process that requires patience...so don't beat yourself up!

You are doing great! I have been at a stand still for a week now and it's horrible. I had my RNY on January 21, 2013 and to date have lost only 30 pounds. I like your menu tho. My doctor doesn't allow crackers, tortillas and such. (Oh how I miss tortillas. LOL) He also recommends for all meals to stay measured at 2 ounces. Keep up the great work! It will all be worth it. :)

See that's why I am afraid to get off all Protein shakes and get on the scale. I hate that scale. It is not our friend!!!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
