It has been so quiet here lately! I am missing my support friends!

Weighed 232 today which is down 71 from surgery on 4-22, and 108 total. Was stuck for awhile between the same 3 pounds and finally broke that! Was also very constipated and finally broke that too, so maybe thats why im down!

Having my 6 month bloodwork done on Monday and am anxious to see where im at. Hope everyone is doing good! I miss you all.

Having a bad week. I haven't been wanting to make an effort to meet Protein goals etc. Its "that time of the month" and its been hell. This morning I was 214.8...I should be stoked but I feel blah. I'm pretty sure it would be a few lbs less if I could. "Be regular" I have not had a good BM since last Thurs....had one small one Tues. I have been getting all liquid, taking Probiotics, Fiber and eating prunes. I took ex lax last night. Still nothing. (I do pass gas etc) My body sucks sometimes. I almost bought a regular, sugary Starbucks drink just to see if I could "dump" and clear sime things out.

So....I am closer to 200 now...but still at some peoples start weight. I still have 60 lbs to go to be in a "normal" weight range.

130 lbs GONE FOREVER!!!! Man, what a journey this has been. I don't feel as stressed about it now. I am eating a larger variety of things. Was stuck at only 125 down for about 2 weeks! Ugh! I did get sick last week just by having two bites of something I shouldn't (darn rebellious streak). But my hair is finally slowing down and not falling out hardly as much. I could have sworn I was going bald! Omg. Hope all of you ladies are doing well!

[Obeasta 92]

Hi dori i am here! Missing you guys too! Wow you are doing so well lady!

Mrs Lulu - DANG! How did you do that??

Share me your golden rules pleeeaase? Still hanging around at 80 pounds lost. I feel like i am last again in a school race!

Are you all religious about your daily calories? Are you also at 800 calories per day? Sometimes i go up to 1000 calories per day. And my Protein is anything between 40 and 60 if i can manage. Dont have a lot of the stuff that i read about on here that is in america. It is really really tough for me to get in a proper amount of protein ;-(

And i am struggling so to get to the gym oh dear goodness.

Please share some secrets ladies! I have a little goal to reach by christmas! About 30 pounds to lose until then, how am i gonna manage that?? Want to reach it so so badly. Oi vey.

It is going sound crazy, but I eat a lot of beef Jerky. LOL! I don't hit my calorie count or protein level probably half of the time unless I eat it. I have eaten ALOT of turkey and homemade tortilla pizzas. I lose the most when I eat just a few bites of everything. I am still strict with Fat grams, but not too much with carbs. To me, it feels slow but I know it isn't. I bet it is hard to get all of your protein when there is limited availability. I wish you the best of luck! :-)

I am so frustrated..went in the hospital at 207 last week and came out at 213...chalked it up to fluids. I've barely eaten anything in ten days, and I'm stuck at 211. Of course I haven't been doing much exercise..just got back to walking two days ago, but I've been stuck around this 90 lb weight loss since mid August. I really wanted to hit 100 lbs before my check up at the end of Oct. But now my check up has been moved to the first...my surgeon wants to check my ulcer and roll my check up into one appt. I get my Protein in everyday...just wish I was down more...

I have those days too where it seems my body doesnt wanna lose and it makes me mad too. Hang in there and keep working the plan. It will happen and just takes longer for some of us!

Dont push the dumping!! You are better off not knowing!! That way you have that fear over you!

I dont count calories at all. I was using mfp but I kept forgetting to log! I only worry about protein and Water and really dont eat anything I shouldnt. And I usually stick to 3 meals with no snacking. I was told to really only focus on the protein. I dont vary my meals much at all but I am never really hungry for anything so it is easy for me. I think if I start to try different things I will count my calories to make sure I dont get too many. I always do two shakes a day and drink my Cappuccino protein on top of that so I always get at least 80 to 100gr of protein a day.

You can easily hit your goal by Christmas! Hang in there. You can do it!!
