10 months post-op,. Down 175 lbs… 40 lbs more to lose

Hi all, quick update, I am close to my 10th month post-op.

I was VSG’d 03/10/17, HW: 405, SW: 385, CW: 230. My goal weight is 190.. It is very hard to shed last 40 lbs, it seems to be attached to my body LOL.. I am very thankful to this process; it is definitely a great tool. However, it is 50/50 we need to engage the other 50% and battle every day with our old bad habits. I am satisfied with my weight loss, but really wanted to lose more weight by now, I hit stalls 3 times, and they last for weeks.. I don’t even look at the scale, now is my enemy (LOL) , instead I rely on clothing and noticed I am losing size… I increased my workouts the last 4 months, I do 4-5 times a week (1.5-2 hrs), I split weight training and HIIT. Now I am working really hard on core workouts.. I hope I can meet my goal by March 1st,

PS: pardon quality of photos.. as header says (quick update)

Thank you!! ?

Congratulations! Your hard work and success are an inspiration to newbies like myself! (RNY 12/28/17)


Congrats! You look fabulous!!!! My guess is that you are building muscle as you replace the fat with muscle. At some point the scale will behave and catch up with you! Muy guapo!

Great job, you've done really well. You mentioned your workout regime earlier, but can you tell us what a typical days food intake looks like either in terms of calories in or protein/fats/carbs totals?

I think you have to be on the website, settings and ticker.. edit ticker.. enter weight.. the add pictures is from your profile -> edit -> before/after photos ..
