Good morning all. I agree that it's tough getting back in the groove after a long weekend which is why I didn't get a chance to post yesterday. Today I go for my 6 month checkup and the scale is moving again. I've been walking further each day whenever it's not pouring out so I'm sure that is helping burn a few extra calories.
B - triple zero greek yogurt
S - boiled egg
L - protein shake (will be on the road heading to hospital appts)
S - turkey pepperettes
D - maybe Costco rotisserie chicken if I stop there on way out of town
Happy hump day back at you Ginny.
Hi Gang, the weekends (especially long ones) always mess me up. I need a couple days to recover from my weekend activities. This past weekend we camped in Michigan, so was able to stock up on some the things our American friends get.
Didn't sleep well at all last night and am just bagged. No gym for me this morning but back at it tomorrow. I did play ball last night so it's not like I'm not active, and my buddy and I will get to the arena today at lunch if its raining our tour the city if it holds off.
B - 1/2 chicken breast
S - oikos keylime
L - turkey kielbasa sandwich w. cheese slice/mustard
S - meat stick, cheese stick
D - chicken and stuffing (weigh****cher recipe - probably not the healthiest because of the stuffing but I'll go easy on that part.
Have a great hump day all.
Over 100 lbs lost! and 13 lbs below goal weight!
Hi there, if you haven't already started you should take regular measurements (I did it monthly and also took photos each month). Sometimes when the scale isnt moving your measurements are!!

I cried when I left the discharge appointment and I absolutely felt abandoned. I still do.
My family doctor is tremendous, but my team at Wharton and St. Joes know so much more about this specifically that I get a bit worried not having them "have my back". Does that make sense?
I have always been able to lose weight. I have NEVER been able to keep it off. This is when I needed the program the most and now I don't have it. It makes me anxious to be completely honest.
But I am coping and I go to the hospital support group which really helps.
It's work - every day.

Hello everyone! I'm 3 months post op. This month has been sooo slow. Weight has been up & down all month long! I'm hoping the stall doesn't last too much longer and I can see the scale going down. I'm not complaining. I'm almost at 200 which I haven't seen in years. I'm happy I haven't had any complications with food or anything. I do forget to eat slow at times or I drink too quickly but my pouch quickly puts me back in my place. My goal this month is to walk/ exercise a lil more and get more water in. How is everyone doing?
Just double checked and confirmed the room! All is good. Looking forward to Sunday!!!

Hello everyone - loving the sun today!
I've discovered two protein source products to share:
Bread: Dimpflmeier's Power Source Slice = 15 g protein, 110 calories
Milk: Fairlife Fat Free milk, 1 cup = 13 g protein, 80 calories
Anyhow, meals today are:
B: 1 slice Power source slice with 1 tbsp. peanut butter and sugar free jam
S: Sugar free yoghurt
L: Small salad with dressing and 2 eggs
S: 1/2 protein shake
D: 1 chicken thigh, 5 mini tomatoes, chickpeas
S: 1/2 cup strawberries with 1/2 cup fairlife milk
Fingers crossed, sun and warmer weather is here to stay now!

Congrats on such great results after surgery; and thank you for sharing some of the challenges you have and are dealing with. I am still concerned that it changed from 5 years of follow up to just 1 year - seems like we just get abandoned by the program - probably when we really need the support to stay on track and adjust to life after major weight loss. As I'm sure the majority of us know and experienced, losing the weight is only 1/2 the journey - the other 1/2 is keeping it off.
I am my family doctor's first bariatric patient and so far is very supportive; listening to my concerns and adding other blood tests to confirm everything is fine - including ultrasound to check gallstone size (already existed prior to surgery). I will add iron and liver enzymes to watch.
We definitely must be our own advocate!
Again, well done and congratulations on your loss and maintaining!
Sunny
