I keep thinking I haven't really lost anymore weight since that picture back in August. I lost about 20lbs after that but put about 6 back on. But I can tell I'm a lot smaller now than I was in that picture. I've packed on a bunch of muscle since then. I hate that it messes up the number on the scale but I'm loving how defined my arms and legs are. Don't get me wrong, they're still covered in saggy skin but I have a bunch of muscle too.

I'm at a bit over 100lbs lost and I'm currently right at 200lbs. I'm a 12 in bottoms and a m/L on top.

Taco seasoning as no sugar and 3 carbs per serving. You wouldn't even eat a whole service with this recipe, or you could leave the taco seasoning out. Salsa has 2 sugars and 2 carbs. As I said my husband eats his with a tortilla or chips. What do you eat? Plained boiled chicken 24/7?

It's almost impossible to avoid all sugars and wouldn't be healthy or even doable to avoid all carbs. You do what you want to do, but this isn't a chocolate chip cookie recipe, it's a healthy, easy, almost pure Protein.

Nope - don't eat plain boiled chicken 24/7 - make my own sauces at home instead of pouring them out of a bottle! Takes maybe 30 mins more of your time in the kitchen! ;)

Tacos/Nachos are a complete and strict no no! :)

It's not impossible to go sugar free - you need to want to do it! And that is how I've lost 101 pounds in 5 months! Cheers! :)

The doctors recommend that you use salsa for spices. Nothing wrong with that. That recipe sounds delicious!

This past year has been amazing. I have plenty of loose skin yes but I am getting toned up witch has helped some with the skin. My hair has stated to finally get better and my weight has began to go up a lil only by like 3lbs and my trainer says it is muscle not fat so for me not to worry Just messes with my head alil but I have to remember muscle weighs more than fat. I am really loving my new body and cant wait for the summer o show it off. Hope everyone is doing just as great.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
