I weighed in at 172.8! Two more pounds! I'm getting there! Cutting out the bread, crackers, and Pasta really made a difference. Why do I love carbs so much?! I also went back to an hour of cardio and 30 minutes of weights every day except Sunday for the past two weeks.... I had missed a couple days of workouts the two weeks I didn't lose.

12.8 pounds to goal!!! I'm so scared! Terrified I won't make it. That my body will just quit losing even if I'm doing the same thing. I'm hungry and it's hard, so cutting back lower than 1,000 calories a day.... ugh, I just don't know if I can do that.

I am so glad that I found this thread! I am 13 years out from my bypass and 35 lbs have crept up on me. I just barley found this website. I have support at home but since my bypass I have had no follow up with my Dr (i feel like i went to a meat factory) and no support system there. My regular Drs are not as familiar with bypass so being this far out I have no idea what to do or if I should have anything checked. So since my surgery I have had three pregnancies and 4 kids (i have a set of twins). I was really good with my weight gain there only 15 lbs for my son and daughter and 30 lbs for the twins. My weight gain came after the twins. I started to drink pop again. Big mistake. my portions have increased and my exercise was zilch. I hate the way I look. I feel like I did before my surgery when I weighed 272 lbs. I have set a goal to loose that darn 35 lbs the healthy way with diet and exercise. I am going to cut out carbs as much as I can and have quit drinking soda. I have also increased my workout to at least 45 min every day. I love the fact you chose to do this! I look forward to joining you on your journey.

Current weight 172.4

Goal Weight 140

Thank you again!

@Kathy812 I'm glad you got on BP for some support-- that is what we are here for... We all have low points and I can understand the tendency to be your own worst critic... most things in life don't go to plan...don't worry stick with it and the LBs will peal off!

@fadstabora Welcome... 13 years out without community support must be tough, and soda is a killer for me too, even though I only have a little bit here and there... I'm glad you found us!

So I am back from our Anniversary weekend away, sorry for the tardy check in we got in late Monday night... I'm feeling pretty good and I can happily report that not only was I able to enjoy the weekend because I banked calories throughout the week, but I made it through both birthdays as well as the wedding with just a small increase... I know we are all shooting for NO GAINS, but I went from 231.2 to 231.4... so up 0.2... With all the temptations, I felt like I made some pretty good choices, and didn't feel like I was missing out....although without a structured schedule this weekend I didn't get all my Water in and I know I drank too many calories, especially since I chose to add a packet of sugar to my coffees this weekend.... I am fully back on board with my meal plan as of today, and am hoping without any big plans coming up I can start seeing the scale move like everyone else...I really hope I can get into the low 220's before the end of July.. fingers crossed for some steady losing...

I ran out of Bariatric Vitamins. I'm looking for a complete one where I only need to take one kind.
What ones do you prefer?

      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?
