I need some tough love. I'm 11 months post op and I haven't lost any weight in nearly a month. I know exactly why - it's because I'm overeating. I'm not gaining weight, just maintaining. I'm probably overeating because I'm not consuming enough Protein. I have tons of Protein Shakes but I'm never in the mood to drink them. I could use a pep talk - I just want to buckle down and eat what I'm supposed to eat!

I have no tough love for you because I was in the same spot the last 2 weeks. 2 weeks ago I was 128 and gained back two pounds from eating like poo. I do agree though, if you focus on the Protein first and re-drill that into your head, I think it'll help. That's what I've been doing and since Sunday I've lost weight already. I also had to refocus on liquids--I was NOT getting anywhere near the 64 oz a day I'm supposed to. My goal is to be AT goal by my 1 year appointment next month. Buckling down starts....well Sunday xD

How's everyone doing? This thread has gone dry...

I'm guessing we've all found a new appreciation for life after surgery and are just simply too busy to come back

I mean, I did, but I still come back and hound y'all. 2 pounds from a new goal. I realized 125 may be slightly unrealistic thinking of coming maintenance so 127 it is. My weekend weigh in said 129.5, but my nutrition wasn't great so I'm planning on checking that again next week. Otherwise, just living the Protein, fluids, and exercise life.

Life is busy! I’m definitely much more active than I used to be! I’m 1.2 lbs from my goal and it’s so surreal. I see pictures of what I once was and it’s so weird. It feels like a lifetime ago some days.

So proud of you all!!!

I had to banish myself (starting today) to just liquids because I had an out of control eating weekend. #restart #backtoverybasics. My 1 year post op visit is 11/28 and I damn well am going to be 127 by then!

I'm up from 156 to 157, cycle related but it appears my maintenance point is 155-160lbs. I'm cool with that 😎

Congrats! However we are the 2017 Nov sleevers. The thread is a little quiet these days... But there is a thread for 2018 Nov sleevers and it is very active!

So far I've worn three different costumes for Halloween this year: bat, skanky pirate and Robin Hood!
