I've got to stop the evening grazing and be more intentional about when and what I'm going to have. This means not starting out the evening in a deficit mode and having to catch up on Protein and calories, because then it's too easy to go too far. Also if I have a cocktail I am more likely to lower my guard and revert to old habits, like looking for food.

Ensure that I increase my Protein my goal is to get 100 ounces of protein so that I can build muscle and continue to reach my goal by my 1 year anniversary .

I am getting close to my goal for my 1 year anniversary and I am eating enough Protein but my biggest issues are my Water intake and consistently exercising.

I am making excuses everyday and haven't been in the gym or working out in over 3 weeks. No weight gained, but no weight lost either.

I'm below goal and have easily maintained within a 4 pound bounce range for almost 5 months, so my eating habits seem pretty spot on. But I have never implemented any sort of exercise program since having surgery. I find "working out" boring and my job and normal lifestyle keeps me pretty active. But I just got a Fitbit One and will try and start simple just by increasing my steps each day. The dogs have been big fans of the new hiking/snowshoeing/skiing regimen the last couple weekends.

I'm also doing well for the most part with the food aspect. I'm never going to be a fan of exercise so I do my best to get to the pool two or three times a week and I consider that a goal met. But Water....oh my. I so need to drink more Water. I often drink less than two bottles and I know I should be drinking twice that. I drink coffee instead and I know that's not a good thing. I just recently got the flavor drops and I've found that helps so I hope by adding flavor, I'll drink more water this year. I know my intestines and colon will thank me... :P

Increase exercise somehow. So far I've added steps at work. Walking up and down flights at work every few hours. I'm up to 12 flights a day.

      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!!

      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
