50 Pounds Gone



Recommended Posts

I am so happy today! 50 pounds gone! It has taken 3.5 months, which is longer than I thought it would take, but it's 50 pounds gone which is more than I've ever lost before regaining! I lost 25 pounds the first month and have been averaging 10 pounds for the last 2.5. I had to resign myself to NOT getting to goal by the holidays, but I have felt amazing, never deprived and my skin and hair look great! Slow and steady wins the race!

I hope everyone has a great weekend!

How awesome! Congrats to you! You'll get there. Maybe not in the timeframe you originally wished for, but think where you'd be if you hadn't even started :)

Wow that’s awesome. Congrats! Did you have any stalls? right now I’m down 29 lbs but I lost most the first week following surgery. 11/29 will be two months since surgery. I’m thinking I need to adjust my diet a little. I would say I’m eating about 700-800 calories a day. Carbs are at a minimum. Any suggestions?

Oh yes!! The stalls! And coming out of them, losing 3 pounds and then stalling again! I also am eating around 800 calories a day, I use MyFitnessPal and track everything! I make sure I get in my Protein and my Water and try not to stress. When I start getting crazy, I look at how much I lost the prior month and how far I've come in the last 6 months and realize I am so much better off than I was. I eat Breakfast and I try to have a mid morning healthy snack or a Protein Shake to boost my protein. I also know that snacking at night is not my friend! LOL And keep track of non scale victories! Like putting on something and realizing it's not too tight! It will come off...try not to compare yourself to others.

And I forgot to say...read anything you think will help! The Favorite Grocery Products thread is amazing and food Before and After will give you great ideas on what to eat and how much people are eating. I have started shopping at Trader Joe's and Aldi looking for the best products I can get (for the cheapest price). I have a board on Pinterest for Low Carb Meals and Gastric Sleeve ideas. Most people on here are so kind and want to help! But the search functions is your friend! Stalls, Headaches, coffee, Alcohol...whatever you want to know...I have typed in my surgeon's name so many times!

LOL! I didn't realize that this was me! It was three months ago and I have lost 16 pounds in the last three months. So a total of 66. I'm feeling great and although the weight loss has slowed down CONSIDERABLY, 16 pounds in three months is still good for me. Over the last three months I have stalled more than I have consistently lost...but I have gone down 2 pant sizes and feel amazing! Good luck everyone!!

      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
