Thanks everyone!

I've been stalled about a week. I am 33, 5 ft 8 and 188 pounds. My calories are set at 1430 from MFP. I exercise for 30 minutes 5 days per week. I usually go by what MFP calculates for calories burned. Thanks!

My weight loss surgeon told me he was excited when he saw my weight written down in the chart. :)

I'm going to the Dominican Republic in June too! Punta cana?

Good for you! I gave up pop too. It's really hard but it can be done.

You look great! Gastric bypass is just a jump start, you had to put a lot of hard work into losing the weight. Keep up the good work!

I had weight loss surgery and lost 120 pounds. I had a lot of extra skin on my stomach so I had a tummy tuck. I absolutely love the results! I'm very happy with my decision.

I feel your pain. I have 26 to go and it is going so slow! Hang in there. I'm sure it will come off in time :)

I have lost weight without going to the gym. I do ride my bike and do T25 though. :)

Put on a size 12 skirt and it zipped (still had a muffin top, but it fit!) Down from size 24:laugh:

I was sleeved September 2013. :)

I had the sleeve last September. I have done really well so far. Everyone is different. The mental part of the surgery is probably the hardest part. Just do your research before you commit to anything. Good luck!

I started at 320 now I am at 196.4. :happy:

Hi Tannie. I had VSG September of 2013. Feel free to add me! :)

Congrats Nedra!

Wow you look great! Congrats!

Thanks everyone!

I love Quest bars! My favorites are white chocolate raspberry and chocolate chip cookie dough.

Hi there. I live near Lewisburg, WV.

If you have a GNC nearby I eat their Quest bars. They have about 20 grams of protein per bar and they have a ton of different flavors.

I had my sleeve done last September. It is very hard at first to get your fluids and protein in. All you can do is just get in what you can. It does get easier the further out you get. I drank alot of protein shakes after I first came home. Hope this helps.

I hope your surgery went well. My name is Amber and I had the gastric sleeve 8 weeks ago tomorrow. I have lost 50 pounds so far. I started at 308 and I am down to 258. I did really well with the surgery although I did have a little pain with the drain afterwards. (not every doctor uses the drain however) Let us know how…

Do you take anything like Nexium or Prilosec for heartburn because those medications can also cause magnesium deficiency?

I started off at a size 22 pants. This morning I put on my size 18 jeans and they are loose! :)

I like the dark brown

I love Celestial apple cinnamon tea. You don't have to add anything to it.

I love Subway! I always get a turkey sub with no cheese and I'm still losing weight :)

I'm a pharmacist who loves science and math! Big nerd here! :)

I like a breaded chicken patty on bread with mayo, cheese and honey. It's really good.

Oh I'm not trying to convince you. You don't have to do anything you don't want to do. Just posting my opinion.
