I feel like where we started was pretty close.

Any advice?

What did your diet look like and what exercise did you do?

I'm in week 4 but at a huge stall but so curious to see how people achieved their goal so quickly.

Would love to knoww :)

@sleevedshereen to be honest, I don't weigh any thing..... I do eat alot of salads and try to have a little piece of chicken or chicken salad with it since I dont eat beef or pork. (It's been 11yrs)
My go to Snacks are cashews, apples with Peanut Butter, fruit or the quinoa/flaxseed tortilla chips.< br>Sometimes I don't eat a meal for dinner or lunch. I just have cashews, or an apple or something...As for exercise I walk at least 4 days a week for 30 mins... I dontgo to the gym consistently and I just started my Tae Bo last night lol..

Thanks for the info! How soon did you start eating salads and what dressing do you usually use?

Salads was until I was 6 weeks out... I use the dressing from Olive Garden... They sell it at Sams... I use less than a cap full... If I'm out and I get a salad I use the "fork method" I dip my fork in the dressing first then I put salad on my fork...
I'm sure you will get past this stall, just be patient and don't be hard on yourself. Everyone's body is different.

Congrats to you!! The quick weight loss is scary and amazing, I'm 2 months POSTOP and I've lost 30+[emoji41] total. I got on scale this morning and when I saw I was 11lbs from onderland I almost cried[emoji7] I'm not far from my GW so I'm praying my weight loss slows down when I enter onderland[emoji6][emoji6]

What makes you skip meals ? i thought we are meant to make sure we have the meals

You are doing great! 145lbs gets you to a "normal" bmi. I bet you'll be able to get there if you want.

That's what I'm doing. 180 is my initial goal, and if I make it there, I have 155 as my normal-BMI stretch goal.

Congrats!

I don't necessarily "skip" meals, I just may have fruit or cheese and chips or something like that. I listen to my stomach a d only eat when I'm hungry

      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?
