Been craving something dangerously sweet and fattening alllllll night. Ice cream, or cake or chocolate. Opted out for this... One banana, one spoonful of Peanut Butter, one scoop of whey vanilla, ice, and one cup of milk. #YUM almost reminds me of Reese's ???? I bet chocolate Protein would really do the trick post-257464-14418528285598_thumb.jpg

Went yesterday for my follow up. I've lost 46 pounds so far, but my blood work levels are dangerously low (doc's exact words). My thiamine (B1) is >7 and my Vitamin A is low as well. Hmmm...maybe it's because I'm not taking my Vitamins daily. Ugh. I hate them but now I'm staying on top of it. That was a dose of reality for me. I've never had problems with my blood work before. Thought maybe they'd stay that way and I was "invincible". Boy was I wrong! I might be losing the weight, but you can't lose more weight once you're dead!

At this point, I'm allowed to have it but I'm terrified to try it again, it hurts like a bee still for me ! So it depends when you can tolerate it. A lot of people complain about chewable vitamins but I still take them because I end up drinking a glass of Water in between chewing each one. I use Building blocks & they're not bad. Get in your Vitamins girls ! Lol

Just wanted to see how everything is going for everyone. I am 11 weeks out and have lost 45 pounds since my surgery date. I was at 313 when I started my appointments. I was 284 the day of my surgery. This morning I was at 239. I am happy with my process. I have a hard time with eating meat so I am finding alternate Protein. I am learning my new body.

You look great!! I can definitely see it!! I myself am down 47 pounds as of today! I have reached the weight I was pre pregnancies!! I've noticed that when I get my period I plateau, so I'm thinking this is going to be the new norm. My next goal is to 199 pounds. Small goals help me. I do not like red meat anymore and cheese makes me get the dumping syndrome. So I guess it's good that I can't tolerate those because they aren't that great for me anyway. I went to the dr for my follow up and he said I was doing well, but my bloodwork was not good at all. (This is because I wasn't taking vitamins). Since then, I have been taking them and I notice a difference in my complexion. I was very pale and now I'm starting to get my color back. So hopefully that means my levels are stabilizing. It was a rude awakening for me because my bloodwork has never been off, always perfect. So when I saw how low my levels were, reality set in that I'm not invincible. Keep up the great work!!

Oh no!! Feel better!! That's really strange, especially since we are all pretty much healed and it was soup! I dump from tortilla chips, but not to the point of vomiting. I have yet to throw up! I hope you find relief soon.

I've learned that I can't eat tortilla chips either. They make me puke as well.

      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
