Starting weight: 257lbs Size: 24 and 3X Current Weight: 192lbs Size: 16 and 1X First of all, I am happier than ever, that is the most important takeaway. Other than my husband, no one knows I had surgery. I am so glad that I didn't tell people. I feel amazing! I have energy and confidence again. I have suffered from depression and anxiety for years. Weight loss combined with proper medication has really helped. For the first time in my life, it is starting to get fun to shop for clothes and clothes are comfortable. Nothing hangs out or over anymore. For anyone considering surgery or who has just had surgery and wondering if it was worth it, I promise you, it is the best decision you will ever make. The first few months are challenging but you are forced to completely change a lifetime of habits overnight. You will learn and every day gets easier, especially once you start to see the weight come off. For all of those on this journey, I wish you all the best and I hope this helps if you are struggling.

So I can’t tolerate tap water ever it’s the Flouride also the more minerals in the water the more my body likes it now I’m pre op I can only imagine post op how picky I’ll be about water post op. Ps the flouride this is a mutated gene my family has we’re allergic to it makes us horribly sick to our tummy’s like my grandma couldn’t brush her teeth with anything containing flouride same as my dad and me

I agree, there is no magic formula. There are many successful people on here who have followed wildly different plans. Stalls happen no matter what. They happen no matter what you're eating and what you're doing. Weight loss is non linear, period.

Great work!! Well done @BlueGirl1920 xx

There isn't one. Everyone's process is different. Everyone's stalls are caused by different things. The best answer is, make sure you are tracking EVERYTHING. Make sure you are exercising. Make sure you know your BMR (and pay attention to it since it changes as you age and lose weight) and that you are coming in under your BMR daily. And if you are only tracking your weight, and not body fat %, you are missing out on a pretty important measurement. If you are working out, you can lose fat and gain weight.

My glue seemed to want to stick around forever! I think I still had incision glue clinging tight 6 weeks post. I picked the edges off and waited for the remaining glue to rub off "naturally".
