What a difference a year makes. One year ago I was in the operating room seeking help with my lifelong battle with obesity. I have never been so scared and hopeful all at the same time.
Today I am down 102 pounds from my surgery date and a to

Ive lived in Maine pretty much my whole life so when the temp is in the 90s I am HOT! I made cucumbers stuffed with ground chicken and a lemon Greek yogurt sauce for lunch. Light, cool and refreshing! Here's the recipe for anyone looking for a light

Today was the day...I stepped on the scale and I have reached my personal goal of 100 pounds since surgery! A total weight loss of 120 pounds from when I entered the bariatric program. I am more scared of maintenance then I was of surgery or weight lo

i have been eating eggs with either bacon or chicken sausage most every day for breakfast. It's a meal that I really like but getting wicked tired of it. And I'm finding that the protein shakes just don't fill me up like they used to. Can anyone mak

So I have a remarkable ability to complicate things, so leave it to me to make something as simple as this concept and make it more complicated!! Just returning from vacation, have gained only 1-2 pounds but have definitely allowed more carbs while aw

At this point in my weight loss journey (down 114 from my highest) I have a fair amount of loose skin, especially around my belly area. It's been itching a ton. Anyone else experience this?? Cause I'm starting to feel like a nut case!!

I am about 9 1/2 months out from surgery and several things are happening that stress me out and confuse me...
- Sudden increase in hunger and capacity: I haven't made any huge changes in what I eat but I sure have been hungry. I try drin

Almost 9 months post op and in the beginning I couldn't do this without the shakes, I had at least one a day instead of a meal, usually breakfast. But kind of suddenly I'm finding that I'm not satisfied with drinking a meal, that I crave "real" food.

It has been 8 1/2 months since my VSG and I have lost 84 pounds, and a total of 104 from my highest weight. I should be thrilled, but instead I feel anxious and confused.
My weight loss has slowed to an absolute crawl. Last few weeks my numbe

When I do "manage my tickers" the top ticker shows up which is accurate. But when I post another one shows up underneath. It's a little thing but making me nuts...anyone else have this happen??

Like many other VSGers out there one of my goals is to run a 5k. Yesterday I was able to jog 3 miles without stopping, although I am still very slow! I am super excited though since I've never gotten this close to finishing the 5k program before!!

I am a bit over 7 months post op. Literally the only food that I don't tolerate is dry turkey. Have never had issues with anything else. Most days I land between 700-800ish calories. My nutritionist wants minimum 65 grams of protein but I try to ge

i am a little over 6 months post-op and just bought my 2nd box ever of protein bars. I had bought some previously as I was vacationing in Florida and wanted something in case I need to replace a meal. Took me ages to eat them all. I just bought a va

I am down to 189 pounds since my VSG 8/24/15. Totally excited! I know that I should expect to lose weight in a stepwise fashion and that the scale is not something to obsess over. However, the last few days I have gained 0.2 pounds each day, I haven

I am about 5 months out from my VSG and feeling great. Until recently I had been eating 3 meals per day and sometimes a snack in the afternoon. Lately I occasionally feel a bit hungry so will have a cheese stick between breakfast and lunch. As I'm a

I am 4.5 months out from my VSG. I am down 59 pounds since surgery, 79 pounds total. Couldn't be more thrilled with the result! My question is about how quickly people eat. I measure every single thing that goes in my mouth, 2-3oz of protein and a

I am so excited, it finally happened! This morning I weighed in at 199.2! It's been a while since I've seen that number.
Consult weight: 268
Surgery weight: 248
Today: 199.2 :)
I certainly wouldn't consider WLS the e

Cappy, you are a genius! This was pretty easy to whip up and I will get 8 meals out of it to heat up for work. Absolutely delicious! Lots of protein and low in carbs. This will become a staple for me and I highly recommend it!!

About 3 1/2 months since my VSG and I think I have entered my second stall. I know that these happen and that's ok BUT I have stalled out between 200-201 pounds!! I seriously couldn't have stalled out at 199?? I guess I need to remember that I have

So, my whole body including my chest has shrunk since surgery. But apparently not enough...I've started the Couch to 5k running program and I have been uncomfortable when running. Can anyone recommend a great, supportive sports bra?? Preferably not

Several years ago my husband bought me a beautiful mothers ring with my kids birthstones in it. A year or two ago I had to take it off and put it in the jewelry box. The day I did that I'm sure I told myself I was just bloated or needed to drink more

Last week I started the Couch to 5K running program. I had done it once years before when I was much lighter. I saw some posts on the Fitness forum with some people saying they wouldn't run unless they were 175 pounds or less because they were worrie
