Amazing! Can you share some tips and inspiration for those of us who are just starting this journey? About how many calories/day were you consuming the first few weeks? How about now? What do you do for exercise?

I thought my starting weight shows on my ticker but if not starting weight was 311lbs.

As far as tips I strictly stick to eating Protein first with any meal and then if I can eat veggies I will. I've stayed away from bread, Pasta, and rice. I do allow myself carbs but I've switched from white potatoes to sweet potatoes. Cooking in advance helps as well. I can't do that whole meal prep for the week because I'm so fussy with food because I have to be in a mood to eat it haha. I cook portions for a couple of days. Water is sooooo important.

At the moment I've only been walking 3-5miles but just joined a gym today as I am having problems with loose legs and arm 'skin'. I've bought compression garments to help with that. I want to tone up and still loose. I have another 4.5st or 66lbs to go. I want to be 100lbs lost by my birthday in May so will step it up a notch ????.

Good luck to you all on your journey. I'm only just feeling like this surgery was the right thing for me.

I'll take the droopy skin any day rather than where I was. Droopy skin has to do with genetics. You can't predict if you will have it or not. My skin isn't droopy per se but i have bat wings and legs are like that as well. I'll take it can always do something about it later. I'm going to use a personal trainer but apparently the guy I spoke to today said the power plates are really good for helping with saggy skin. I'll try that on Monday.

      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
