I'm 1 month post op, and even though m married with kids, my husband went back to working his 12-14 hour days when I was only 3 days post op. I'm a stay at home mom of a 14 month old and a 3.5 year old. I moved slower, but I was able to take care of everything on my own.

Love your dress!

I know stalls are inevitable, and I know the dreaded "3 weeks stall" is fairly common, but how long did yours last? I've been gaining/losing the same 4lbs for 2.5 weeks. I've been in contact with my dietician, who slightly altered my plan, but still no change. So how long was your stall? HW-299 SW july 3-289 CW-262-265

I looked up carb free recipes

I k ow I shouldn't be worried. I lost 10lbs before surgery and 22 in the first 2 weeks after, but it sucks weighing every morning and the scale goes down, then up again

I think I remember that your almost a year out, right? How was your weight loss after the stall? My biggest fear is that I went through all of this for nothing. At least I know I'm not alone.

How often did you weigh? Did the weight eventually come off?

I've been cleared o ly for walking, which I do while pushing a double stroller with 2 kids lol.

It's basically going back to basics. Www.5daypouchtest.com

I've been overweight since about 8-9 years old. In 12 grade I started dating this guy that told me how beautiful I was but "would be prettier if I lost a few pounds". That's when the anorexia and binge disorders started. I dropped 60lbs very quick in my first year of college. I was happy with myself. Size 8, maybe 160?. Then he cheated, multiple times. I dumped him and lost more weight. Joined college cheer leading and was loving life. Got drunk at a party and was sexually assaulted by 2 people in the dorms. People thought because I was a "party girl" that I deserved it and somehow wanted it. One of the guys was my roommates boyfriend. I got teased to the point where I dropped out of school. I met my now husband through my best friend. Her husband and my husband are brothers. Got pregnant at 19 and gained 80lbs. Had horrible ppd and never lost the weight. Had problems with my husband and gained about 40more. Got pregnant with baby number 2 and was so sick I gained only 2lbs the whole pregnancy. Again, suffered with ppd and gained 20 more. This made me tip the scales at 299 and only 23 years old Had surgery 7/3/13 Sw-299 Surgery weight-289 Cw-260

I was sleeved July 3rd Starting weight- 299 Day of surgery- 289 Current- 262-264

Ad I loveeee your tattoos!

Wow!! You were a beautiful girl before, but now your spilling with confidence!! Any tips?? Your tummy is sooo flat with no loose skin?! What's your day to day eating/workouts (sorry for all the questions) lol

Thanks everyone! It's a little disappointing when I get on the scale every morning and it isn't moving. I've actually been losing/gaining the same 2lbs for almost 2 weeks. But I'm getting all my water and protein, and I'm walking everyday, so I'm sure the scale will move eventually!

Just edited the pics, maybe it's easier to look at this way..

Maybe your mother in law poisoned you? Lol just kidding. Like others said, just check with your doc For the op, yes, I've been eating shrimp since 3 weeks and do just fine with it.

As far as your diet goes... I seem to have the sleeve of steel. My doctor had me on purée in the hospital after my leak test, and moved me to mushy/soft food at 2 weeks, and now at almost 4 weeks, I'm on regular food except fruit/carbs/raw veggies. I have zero restriction with liquids, and almost none with purée either. However, I had chicken breast for the first time yesterday and boy did i feel it!! I took one bite too many (and probably too fast) and even though I didn't actually vomit, I felt like I ate a brick and it sat there for a good 2 hours after! You WILL feel the restriction! Before solids, I felt I'd never lose weight because I was never full! But now, I'm 28lbs down since surgery (July 3rd) and 38 down from my pre op diet! Congrats again on making it to the losers bench!!

Really depends I what your doctor said. I know people who drink wit watered down right after surgery, while my surgeon doesn't allow any fruit or fruit juices u till almost goal weight.

I'm 3 weeks out and feel hungry, but I think it's in my mind because if I occupy myself with something ill completely forget about it and the feeling goes away.

No! Lol. Like last night I had 3 oz of shredded chicken from my crock pot. But for lunch I had 4ish oz of Greek yogurt.

I've hit a stall the past few days.. But I've also been slacking on my walking and my Water.

Me? I've lost 27lbs in 3 weeks since surgery! And 37 from my highest before pre op!
