So glad to see all of you on here. Let's keep this thread going! It's nice to see how everyone is doing!

I have just been suffering for the last 2 days with that dreaded stomach flu. Bright side of it is I've lost 3 lbs in one day! lol. All Fluid I know!

Anyhow I started out At 294 and today I am 203 so I've has a fairly quick drop as I've been so freaking strict with my plan. hair loss has finally stopped and growing back now. Lots of loose skin, but hoping with lots of exercise and Water that should help.

Over all, my experience has been wonderful and I would do it again in a heart beat. I am off all my blood pressure and diabetes meds so I've accomplished my main goal!

Congrats everyone and keep up the good work!!!

I have gotten past my stall. Sw237 cw 187.... not enough Fluid was the main culprit and the meds for the swelling and erosion slow down my digestive tract but back on track ,which makes me feel soo much better.

Sleeved June 10th. Sw 254 cw 177.2. Still learning how to "drive" this new life, but am thankful for it every day. I will be happy when the holidays are all behind and life and eating (and temptations and cravings) are behind for a little while. I told my hubby I want size 10 jeans for Valentine's Day.

Just wanted to see/hear how everyone is doing, it's been a couple of months since there's been any activity on here.

I finally passed the 100# mark -- a big milestone for me psychologically. The next is getting below 200#. Only 0.5 to go! Haven't been at this weight for over 20 years. Working out has been my new favorite thing to do to take care of myself. (I never thought those words would come out of my mouth!)

I still struggle with fluids, seems like every day, make me feel too full, too fast. hair loss has slowed wayyy down. Stalls not effecting me as much -- I know the weight loss will continue as long as I keep doing what I know is best for me.

Would love to hear where everyone else is on their journey.

I it 165lb loss, but I now only weigh in once a month. I was obsessing weighing more. Fluids are still a struggle for me, which leaves me with leg cramps at night. I was a size 30, now a 10.

Love my new life and how I feel. I can play on the ground with my baby boy!

My weight loss has slowed down considerably and haven't really lost much in the last 2 months. Starting weight was 295 cw 204. hair is growing back. I was struggling with Water and protien as well but getting lots in now. Feeling really tired lately so I might call my nutritionist about that. Over all, other than the extra skin I have, I'm still very happy with my decision and my results. Still have 24 lbs to go to get to goal.

I was a low BMI (33) when I started this journey, but I had a lot of comorbidities. I've gone from 200 pounds to 140, where I've seemed to be hovering now for a month. The great news is that my high blood pressure, high cholesterol and sleep apnea are gone! I can definitely eat more now than I could the first six months and I am starting to struggle with food choices. Those damn carbs are still as addictive as before and they certainly don't fill me up like Protein does. The honeymoon is definitely over. But exercise is easy when your knees and lungs don't hurt, so I need to concentrate on burning calories in order to maintain. Drinking Water is also a lot easier these days too!

I'm down 70# and only have 5# to go until I reach goal. I'm working out like crazy but old habits are creeping up that I have to really be mindful of. Water is still a chore, but I'm getting there

Hope this doesn't seem stalkerish but I just read through this thread and am amazed at everyone's progress. I'm getting sleeved June 9th of this year so this thread really boosted my enthusiasm! Congrats you all!

      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'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? 🤷‍♀️
