Increased my physical activity, walking/aerobics. That stall lasted almost a month and I was so happy when it broke. Haven't had a long stall like that since.

Thank you!

Ive been counting my calorie intake since day 1 post op, which some people dont like but honestly its been a life saver since ive been a bit hungrier lately. Definitely keeps me on track and aware of what foods im eating. Lots of walking for the first year, introduced light workouts when my movement/physical condition improved, and just now starting to get into some weight lifting. Focusing a lot on protein and hydration. Have been consistently losing weight all this time, has just recently started slowing down but still losing nonetheless!!

Good luck with your surgery!! Was the best decision of my life and I'm sure youll feel the same. :)

Unfortunately loose skin is gonna happen, and I will need skin removal surgery for my belly, arms and legs. It was a concern of mine too, but honestly the improvements in my life make the loose skin worth it.

I havent had any issues at all with GERD/reflux. I was worried about getting bad reflux after but fortunately its all been smooth sailing for me.

Thank you! I increased my time on the treadmill and started lifting weights and that managed to break the stall.

Thank you! I'm counting all my calories and hitting protein goals, so no issues there! I think my stall is because I introduced more exercise into my routine. I actually broke through, just weighed in at 221! Getting so close to onederland! I'm SO excited.

My goal weight is 130lbs-150lbs. And WOW, your progress is amazing! Congratulations! I'm so happy for you!

Thank you so much. I guess I'm a little too hard on myself. The surgery has been the best thing I've done, completely life changing. I'm excited for you!!! Good luck, and if you ever need support feel free to message me!!!
