Congrats!! It is an awesome achievement. I am myself on 103lbs, but been here for awhile. I have another 15lbs to go to my goal weight, I am hoping I can do that in the next 3months. My optimal goal weight is about 30lbs away. Would you have ever thought that you would have been here a year ago?

Congratulations on your loss!!! Never ever ever ever would I have thought that I'd be like this today. What a great new life we have!

Thought I'd check in again :) Haven't been dropping any weight lately, but just started working out and lifting weights. Gonna give it some time. I have an appointment this week to get my Vitamin and mineral levels checked. Concerned something might be going on as I am now bruising severely bad all over my body. Just want to make sure everything is on track. Hope everyone is doing well! :)

Sorry to here that but you typically bruise easier when there is an Iron deficiency.

But don't hold me to it, go get the tests.

Good Morning to all!!!! I am here for support this morning!!! I am at a point where I am beginning to go back to some bad habits.... I have lost 183 pounds and my weight is in a 5 lbs loss and gain.... I am eating chips, honey Buns, m&m's and other Snacks ESP ice cream.... But it is always the week before my "friendly monthly visitor" this is like EVERY month... I don't care how many Protein Bars or shakes I have to try to curb my cravings it does not help!!! I thank GOD for the restriction but I am trying to reach my goal and am trying to lose these last 15 lbs by my 1 year surgiversery .... March 4th... But don't think I will make it going this route.... Anyone else experiencing this?

Indeed I think that we all may get to this point. I have. Been on a plateau for about 2months now. But I think I am finally losing again. I need to lose 17.6lbs by March 12. So why don't we try get there together.

We can do it.

Good morning Everyone!

It's been too long, but this new site is not my favorite! Lol. I'm glad to see you guys are doing well and hang in in there. I too hit a scary stall that lasted a few months and the first thing I thought was "I messed something up" why did the weight loss stop. I was scared and really down I tried that 5 day pouch test and it worked I was surprised I lost 7 pounds. It took me back to the beginning and made me remember how I use to eat. I took my time eating stop drinking with my meals and I felt really great about that. I'm so close to my goal I have 27 more pounds to loose and I pray I can get there.

I'm starting to get nervous about our one year anniversary, I'm so afraid of gaining the weight back. I was so strict on myself in the beginning and I have since eaten bread, but I cut it out again and I ate some chips, well a lot of chips around the holiday and I had to break free of that. So far so good.... Remember were in this thing together it's a constant battle for us all. :D

I had my bypass on March 8,2014. My heighest weight was 292. The day of my surgery I was 282lbs. My current weight is 148.2 lbs... It was hard in the beginning and I regretted it for the first few weeks because I never realized what a hold that food had on me...I was jealous that everyone could eat what they wanted and I was left with shakes and baby food...I went through some depression and anger but it only lasted a short time... This was the best decision I have ever made and I love my new life with my family .

So I guess all is not well. Got extremely sick last night with lots of pain below rib cage. Went in for an egd today and the verdict is a marginal ulcer. Going to treat for 30 days then follow up with another egd.

      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.

      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!!
