201.2 but I've been bouncing bck n forth for 16 days, so perhaps stalled, pray it breaks with this challenge.

I'm in the host with u Andrew, I've been bouncing up and down at same weight going on 2-3weeks, I'm calling it a stall bc I've been low as 200.2 bad can't break to the 100's for anything! Frustrating bc I feel like the line to cross over into the hundreds keeps moving and teasing me. I wanted so badly to get into the hundreds by February s end, but idk, scale won't budge. Ill keep all of us in prayer and plz pray for me. I too get around 600 700 cals, Bc in still having difficulty swallowing, so guess all I can do is like u said, stick w program and it'll move eventually downward. God bless all.

Hey Jess, I totally agree, I told my hubby about it, and I said, I was only getting them bc of price not bc I wanted or needed them and since I was refunded, I'd leave it alone too. Trust me, I was disappointed at first, besides, I'd only ordered one bc I really didn't need them, they were gonna b as a back up if needed, so yeah, I agree with ur insight, gr8 job on you!!

Agree, I ordered it on the day I found out and I too rxd a letter saying they cancelled it, they should b held accountable for those who did order it, bc it was posted, mistake or not. Blah! !

I gained, so not posting so as not to add to our weight loss goals. Gla

I'm in... 6 weeks postoperative. Challenge starting weight: 202.2 Challenge goal weight: 190 God bless us all and gl! Onederland, here I come! !!!

I have a question plz for the OP, does it have to be only about weight or can we set other goals? I want to b 190 or less, as well as get my batwings under control and tightened up. I figure I cud take a b4 pic and then the after each week or report the inches lost from my arms. If this is too complicated, I can stick with just the weight, thx. ..I look forward to joining u all, st. Pattys day is my favorite, mostly bc green is my favorite color. Thx Bea gla! Dee Dee

Like Mac, my pc advised me to see a bariatric surgeon about lap band...so whenever I called for an appt., they told me about vsg, I asked what was that, she briefly explained and then I researched researcher researched N then researched the internet, youtube and that's when I found the vertical sleeve forum which is now bariatric pal, and the rest is history in the making...I went to first appt and everything was explained in more detail there. My suggestions to u, yes research, then write down questions u have and take it from there. God bless your decision. I was sleeved 12:30:13.

Hw: 236.8 Cw: 201.8 12/30/13

Congraaaaaaats !!!! Proud of u:)))

Hw: 236.8 Cw: 202.2 God bless all of u and ur weight loss and congrats! ! Keep shedding:)

Amen, y can't we lose in those areas, lol. Question tho...I bought those caps prior to surgery and they are big, do u all swallow them w/o choking or do u open and pour it in somthn to take? I'm scared to take my small nexium capsule, so I put it in my 2oz drink and take it. Thx.

Ty Julie, I just clicked ur link n ordered it! 5 weeks out here but will keep it on hand as needed, Tysm for sharing w us all:))).

Yippieeeee, that too is one of my main goals, hence my name. Its been 14 yrs for me so I'm still waiting, scared to buy any now but guess I can go thrifting to try some sizes on. Anyways, proud for u:)

Hello Sally, so glad to hear that u r finally getting ur much needed surgery, may God continually place His healing hands upon u as u go thru this. I pray that He is w ur surgical team and those who'll aide in ur recovery. Lord willing, I pray that we c u here soon as you're able to let us know how u r doing. U sleep well and many blessings and prayers from my family to you. Dee Dee

It will Shell, mine was 2 wks and when it moved, it went up 4 lbs. So, as I wrote to everyone, make sure ur not constipated, I was. Sry if I'm being too personal , but if ur not regular, try some m.o.m. it worked for me and I've lost the gain and then some. Hope it helps but like u said, it'll pass one way or the other. God bless You and ur patience.

Ok, repost, sry. I'm not sure what's up with me and the weight but I came from church, jumped on scales, since Sunday is not officially over for posting weight;) and now I'm 205.2! I'm sticking with that number,lol. So Hw: 236. 8 Cw: 205.2 12~30~13

I guess until I'm going in one solid direction, I'm not posting my up n down weight bc it just puts more work for Mn to have to calculate. I'll post today's gain, yes an ugly gain, and let that be the last one until I'm in a more stable direction. Hw: 236.8 Sw: 227 Cw: 208.8 May God continue to bless our journeys...the good, the bad, the ugly. On a good note, my spasms are lessening, nit as many in s day as b4 so i'll celebrate that loss. Gr8 New week my friends.

I'm 1mth out and I had it last week twice and I hate shrimp but my hubby found some at wm and since I was tired of just tuna n fish, I tried it. It was delish, my taste buds have definitely changed. I'm from Alabama and tried eating some grits, my favorite, but gross tasting and that saddens me but I am ok and the shrimp sat very well. Gl.

Well a huge congrats on being sober. You can get yourself a new outfit, makeover, go to movies, whatever it is that brings u joy, celebrate with it that day. We have a gr8 group here, no one's gonna get mad, we celebrate victories of any kind and help when we feel defeated. And Lord knows we talk about everything and we all still friends:))) God bless and take it one-day at a time. Happy 17th yr sober.

Well Almost Happy B-day and u njoy it I don't drink so I have no ideas but wanted to wish u happy b-day! ! And keep up the gr8 wl results.

Glad I could help and glad u lost some more weight , we r all in the same boat and I'm so glad that I have y'all (Alabama girl here) as well!

TMI WARNING: I wanted to let those of u who supported me and lifted my spirits yesterday thru that gain, I took some m.o.m b4 bed bc the left side of my back has been hurting as well as having hard small stools. The m.o.m worked a lot this morning. So my side immediately stopped hurting and the scale said 207.2!! So to u all, make sure that if the stools are not solid but small pellets or is too hard, it may b a culprit to stalls n gains as well. Tho I was using the restroom, they were not"normal" or frequent. So again ty and keep checks on those bathroom visits. God bless and tya again.

Awww, ty Shell, all of u have definitely picked my head up off the floor. God is mighty and I will hold on to c what He has in store for me and all of you. Ty 4 taking the time, as well as others today, to lift my spirits. May God continue to bless you all:)

Tyvm Bear, I'm trying:)
