I should've specified both pictures were from today. That's why you can't see a difference

What kind of working out are you doing and for how long? I dance 30 minutes a day, but I want to add more variety. I am 4 weeks post op.

I walk 14 miles a day working at a hospital, but aside from that, I do elliptical 25 minutes, I do butterfly press (reps and weights vary), I do bike 25 minutes, stair master 25 minutes, and go back to work for cool down. That's it. I stretch at home a lot. Drink Powerade zero and Vitamin Water zero. Eat nonfat Greek yogurt only, that's it.

Sent from my XT1031 using the BariatricPal App

Thank you!! I lost 16.5 pounds my first week. I had a lot of pain in my right side! And the gas was unbearable. The first couple weeks were really horrible. But I stuck to it! I am so proud of my progress, and that I stuck to the regimen.

I'm reading all the people who have had surgery around when I did (4/11), and all the weight they've lost to date. I've lost 46 lbs to date, and I'm jealous of all those who have lost so much more than me! I feel like, "what are they doing different?" When I see things that say they are drinking Zero Vitamin Water, or Powerade Zero, and nonfat Greek Yogurt as all they are eating/drinking, why does that not seem normal to me? Is that really sustainable? I guess I do my Protein Shakes, nonfat Greek Yogurts, some Proteins such as fish, seafood, chicken, cheese, eggs. But I also have veggies, oatmeal with Protein Powder added in, some fruit (not much at all), and some nuts. I've eaten some healthy Snacks, but because I can eat way too much of them at one time, I am choosing not to keep them in the house anymore.

I do need to step my game up where the exercise comes into play.

I also had a stall that lasted 3-1/2 weeks, and still the weight is going very slowly down. Anyone else have these problems after 3 months out? I feel so alone. I feel slightly depressed because I feel like I'm failing. I don't want to fail, and I know I have some issues with controlling my eating (nighttime is the worst), but I'm trying to make positive changes. Did I mess this all up, and will things get better? I'm so scared now. I feel deflated.

@@Renkoss please don't feel like you are failing. I am in a similar boat, & know I need to step it up with exercise but honestly I think 46 pounds isn't anything to be discouraged about!! My surgery was 4/20 so we are right around the same time frame. Everyone is so different so try not to compare and get discouraged!! Just stick with it, keep your head up and get some exercise! You will feel much better!! I will not have service this weekend, but seriously FEEL FREE to contact me. We can be buddies to kick ourselves into high gear

@@cat.jackson89 incredible job!! Inspiring for sure with all that you are doing to keep on track!

      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?
