Conratulations!! And well done! You look amazing. I know what you were feeling, I didn't go to mine either for the last 7 years. I have lost 86 lbs to date, some up a fewlbs, some down to 92 lbs, on some days.. I have yet to hit my 100 lbs, and then after that, I still have 25 more to go. It's rough, but you did a great…

I had 125lbs to lose.. as my goal. I had the VSG surgery.. so far in the last year, I have lost 86 lbs. It made it somewhat easier, but by no means is it the end all, be all. You still have to exercise, you still have to eat the right kinds of food. It certainly has made it a lot easier to limit quantity, cause you just…

I feel your pain. I don't have many suggestions, other than to do the inner/outer leg machine at the gym. I do leg lifts and the inner leg lift cross. It's not helping! I am curious to hear other's suggestions. I have only lost 72 lbs. I had lost 10 before I started MFP.. but 72 total. I can definitely see the flab.. and…

I have been losing weight as well .. rather quickly.. sometimes, not so much. My Dr has me taking a few supplements, as some of my blood levels were low, and that rapid weight loss can affect calcium loss. I am taking 1000 u of Vitamin D daily, in conjunction with 2000 mg of Calcium Citrate.(Caltrate chews) I also take the…

Great job!! I've got 75 more lbs to lose.. I have already lost 50+ lbs. You look great! Keep up the great work!:smile:

Hello Allison.. Hope I am not too late for this! My name is Julie SW-200 GW-ultimately.. 125 75lbs to go.. April-165 Workouts.. dancing -club and zumba, am also joining gym this week.

LOL.. I have almost lost a bale of hay!! 47 lbs! Now if I can lose my 7 year old in body weight.. I will be all set!

OMG!! You look wonderful! I just hit the 40lb mark today. Now I'm off and running for 50! You just look absolutely amazing! You have done a great job! Very inspiring.

Hey Tami! I saw you on the Today show.. You look fabulous. I have 85 to go! Next mini-goal is 50lbs. I hit 40 this morning. I can't wait to be back to the "real" me!

Hey Laura.. You look great! I am hoping to do the same. I just hit 40lbs this morning! Now onto 50!

LOL!! No lying.. EAS-Myoplex-Strawberry Cream Nutrition drink. 210 calories-2.5gms of fat 5g sugar and 25gms of protein.

I have the Saucony pro grid 3's.. I love them. I had a pair last year that I just wore to work.. I need them for my ankle also. I wouldn't wear another pair of shoes after wearing Saucony's.

LOL.. I am obsessing, myself. I probably step on the scale 10 times a day!.. Literally. I "check" in once a day, though. I actually have an official weigh in with the dr tomorrow morning!

syntrax is a good one.. so in unjury. I use the nectar after VSG, and now I like the Premier Protein from Costco.. I also use Boost glucose control in a pinch. It only has 16 grams of protein, and MY protein needs are 60-80 gms a day from my Dr. Protein shakes will not make you gain weight. I have lost 33 lbs to date, just…

OMG.. yes.. you can certainly tell that you've lost the weight! You look great. I am having the same issue. I have lost 31 lbs.. and even though my clothes are looser, I haven't gone done in a size.. with the exception of in my scrubs. My old ones.. 2x are swimming on me, and I bought a new set XL which are tight.. but…

My Dr. has stated that because of the surgery I have had, I need to be getting 60-80 gms of protein per day. He also stated that as a woman.. it can be on the low end of that... 60.. I have a hard time getting even the 60. MFP states that I should do 51gms of protein.. I am in the red on my GOOD days of getting protein. I…

I will add to this! I am a coffeholic! When I was pregnant.. I couldn't drink coffee.. I still ate everything in sight.. but as a result of not drinking coffee while I was pregnant.. I lost 23 lbs! Now, since I have had surgery.. I can't eat/drink anything with more than 5 gms of sugar per serving.. so I cut out the…

Thank you! Well I got it out.. you motivated me to try to do at least what I could. I started the chest and arms. Did as many push ups as I could.. girly though.. didn't want to put the strain on my stomach yet. Used the bands where I could.. like with the pull ups, as Scott is doing the modified pull up with the bands.…

Hey.. just wanted to state that you look great. I have it... haven't tried it yet. Just had a VSG.. and am not yet cleared for lifting weights.. I have another week and a half. Could you tell me what lb weights you used to start and how much weight did you increase?

test..ticker.. test.

Hello.. I am new to MFP as well.. My name is Julie and I am 39 and have just had bariatric surgery. This is not a end all be all kind of thing I am finding out.. it is merely a tool. I still have to watch what I eat, and still have to vigorously excercise. Just want some tips after I am back into the regular eating stage.…
