Way to go!! That's awesome! What have you been doing/eating to achieve that amount of weight loss?

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I've stayed on the plan set by my surgeon and nutritionist. As far as meals, I eat high Protein and keep my carbs under 20 grams a day - sugars under 5 grams. I try to keep the fat down, too. I weigh or measure everything and keep my cals below 800. No sugar, no flour, no starches (except Beans - occasionally), no refined carbs. My carbs are from veggies.

I also make sure I walk at least 5 miles a day and I'm starting the couch to 5k program. I'm starting weight training soon, but I'm having surgery again on 1/3/17 (if you look really closely on the right side of my photo, you can actually see my huge hernia bulging out ;-/). I'm not allowed to lift yet, but as soon as I get the green light, I'm ready to start weight training.

Lastly, I track every nibble, lick, and bite to make sure I'm staying in my guidelines :-)

Great job! I can only dream of being down so much so quickly. My surgery was on 11/22 and on 4/29 I'll be having my wedding reception for our one year anniversary (it was too rushed when we got married so no time). I would love to be down that much! Keep up the great work! :)

      I hope everyone is having a lovely week so far! 
      It's been a bit of a struggle this last week...I'm hungry ALL the time.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
