I actually don't care for the extra attention. Maybe I'm 100% comfortable yet. But my family is always like "wow look at you" "you lost so much weight" and then that's later followed by me having to explain the surgery and what I eat, do I work out, am I afraid of even complications. ..etc..blah blah blah. And I have a really big family and we do gathering and cook outs every holiday. So for the past New Years Day, Mother's Day, Memorial Day, Father's Day and all the in between kid birthday party gatherings I have to explain the sleeve surgery to a Aunt, a Cousin, a Uncle or my grandma and dad which I have already explained the whole procedure and process to about 10X's! It's easier to ignore coworkers and neighbors ignorance but with family I guess I just have to deal

Hi

I have been struggling my friends. I am at my goal weight of 177.(now its 168)..now i seem to be a fat out of shape person who just happened to lose 72 pounds and has a smaler stomach.I have been eating alot more junk. Funny thing i feel like junk. Felt so good mentally when i was eating better. I have a personal trainer ( no charge and a blessing) to help me get stronger. My hair is so thin, I am thankful i had the surgery but seem like im back to some bad behaviors. Still cant drink water!!! If i use crystal light it is a bit better. I guess I haven't come on here as I don't want to be negative. eating at night, eating chips....having a few cold beers. Ambarrassed.

Started at 245, goal is either 125 or 130, depending how I feel when I get there. Currently at 137, and down 108 pounds so either 7 or 12 pounds from goal. Currently in a size 6/8 depending on brand.

I'm thrilled with my success so far, and feeling more like a normal person about how I approach food. Struggling with body image, as I know size 6/8 is not fat, but with jiggly excess skin on the tummy, I don't feel very trim. Working on that.

Where are the pics people?? Lol

Sorry you're struggling. Try going back to basics and getting back on track! You don't want to start putting on weight again!

Me three, I HATE the attention now, weight is going great, but just leave me alone, lets talk about something other than me.... That is killing me.... The undertone is always jealousy and the more they talk and ask with every opportunity you start to see the pattern...

I was sleeved on 8/18 my HW was 264 and my current is 182 so I'm down 82lbs. It has definitely slowed down but I guess that's normal.

Today for Breakfast I'm having 2 scrambled eggs. I have grilled chicken with broccoli and about 6 noodles of Pasta for lunch and I brought a small container of Greek yogurt for a snack. Last night I had sushi for dinner, just three pieces and some edamame.

How's everyone doing on Vitamins? Still buying those expensive "bariatric" chewables, liquids or easily dissolved? My 6 months post op labs were good and all I was taking were the bariatric Multivitamins

I also take Centrum but my PCP wants me to take chewables so long as I can tolerate them. She says they're just easier to digest so why not. ???? I guess... I mean they don't taste bad,& labs were good,so I'll keep buying them.

      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
