The goals they set tend to be quite high. I was told at 3 months post op I was where they wanted me (?!?!?!?) I've lost an additional 45 since then and am still going down.
Don't let what they consider a success make you think you can't hit your numbers too.

So today was A DAY.
I stepped on the scale and officially have lost 100lbs (actually 101.3 if we are being specific)
And I am in shock. From September until November I was in a pretty big stall. So I stopped getting on the scale and just kept working my program. And then these last 3 weeks the weight just started melting off again.
I am just shy of 9 months since surgery, and am literally a whole new person.
Just wanted to share for those still on the journey. Push through those stalls. Work the program.

Hi everyone,
My journey led me to create Circle of Support Timmins for people like me that had gastric bypass. A place where we understand, help and support each other.
Starting January 2019, we will meet every month.
If you are not ready to meet with us in person, that's ok! Join us on Facebook, and/or follow on Twitter.
Circle of Support Timmins is a closed group on Facebook therefore, please post with confidence as your "friends" cannot see your postings unless they are part of the same group. Send me your facebook email either by text at 705-288-0371 or by email at [email protected] and it will be my pleasure to add you.

Good morning :)
How is it Friday already? We got quite a bit done yesterday which is good because we had a long night so I don't think we will get much done today. May******rand or two.
So I started this post around 8am and I totally got distracted so I'm just coming back to fini**** now :)
QOTD: I often have the news on TV playing in the background. It's so depressing though so I've been pvr-ing a ton of new shows to have something different to watch.
Post-op three years and eight months.
Breakfast - protein bar
Snack - oatmeal bites
Lunch - leftover pizza sandwich or chicken leftovers
Snack - Greek yogurt and blueberries
Dinner - tbd... I don't know what I want. I have beef on the plan but right now I'm not feeling it lol.
Snack - pudding - not the avocado kind. I think I will probably end up throwing it out unfortunately
All water and vits.
I just don't want to adult today.....
Over 100 lbs lost! and 13 lbs below goal weight!
Congrats!

Welcome to your weekend Menu Peeps. Today is another busy day, and I won't get a chance to workout.
Accountability: Pretty good
Question of the Day: Do you watch the news or listen to it on the radio? I listen sometimes, but most of the time it makes me angry.
The eats today at 4 years post-op are:
B. Protein latte, decaf coffee
L. Scrambled eggs with a slice of bacon in a low carb wrap
D. Shrimp with garlic butter, mini crab cakes, side salad with avocado and creamy Greek dressing
Have a great weekend everyone.
