I am two days away from surgery - have not lost much on the pre op liquid diet - probably just flooded haha Our insurance just changed at the beginning of the year , and so that has thrown a wrench in everything - and we are still waiting on an pre auth - I feel like everything is hurry up and wait - and I may have tortured myself for no good reason if they deny surgery I have my post op diet box all set up - cook books ready - chopper on hand - I have an awesome support system - they truly are the only reason I have not imploded by now - This is me just trying to find light at the end of the tunnel and a pattern in the chaos

WEEKLY UPDATE another rough week, but I made it!!! Pretty proud of myself for not giving up despite stress and sickness. I stayed under 1200 cal 5/7 days of the week and made it to the gym 3 times!!! I was hoping to see better results on the scale, but I WONT GIVE UP. I will try harder this week. STATS 5'2" / 29 months PO sleeve / CW 173.2 So I lost 2 lbs. Not that bad another 38 lbs to go.

Hey all! I am frustrated! Can you tell by the title of my post? Lol! I had surgery on 4/9/19 and although I am down 71lbs, I have been stalled for 3 months now! I've only lost 6lbs since October. I'm not sure what is going on. I will say, back in April of 2017, I did have a Total Abdominal Hysterectomy so maybe my hormones are all over the place. I need advice BAD. Has anyone experienced this long of a stall? If so, how did you come out of it? I am grateful for this tool and am trying to get all I can out of it. HELP!

@nenes78 I have sleeve sorry it has been a while changed the profile a bit.

I have good news for you. I was sleeved on April 29th and I hit a low on November 4. I spent 2 months in a sideways range and only recently broke it. See the chart below what a 2 month stall 6 months out looks like! What am i doing differently, absolutely nothing I think my body just needed to consolidate after months of such rapid loss. @Fatboyslim1 while true that cutting 500 calories a day will result in 1lb/week of loss I highly doubt anyone 9 months out has the ability to cut out 500 calories a day unless they are somehow over say 1700 a day (unlikely)

Hi everyone! I’m feeling SO much better now. I just needed a few days I guess to chill out & free my mind. Today I have an MRI to check out this cyst that was found wedged between my pancreas & kidney to make sure nothing crazy is happening.. from here, I’ll be able to schedule my EGD. Thennnn the 29th I’ll be picking up the machine for my at home sleep study. Hopefully time will continue to fly! Thank you all for your encouragement, It truly means the world to me!!!

Just would like to add that losing 10 lbs a month is not slowly losing. It’s perfect weight loss. Yes, most people may drop quickly in the beginning, but that is a fool’s gold in water weight. Gradually, you drop off to 2 lbs a week as you gradually add calories and carbs. For me, this happened at 8 weeks. I’m 10 weeks now.

You look great!!! Congratulations!! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-J327AZ using BariatricPal mobile app

Hello, I have a question. I am a couple days over a week post op ,and in my stomach I really have no pain and feel fine. However, whenever I stand up or walk, I get this pressure on both shoulders and it just makes me want to sit or lay down. It’s nothing like sharp pain, just pressure like I’m wearing a backpack with bricks. Has anybody experienced this?

Bariatric surgery is safer then a hip replacement
