Today is first time I've weighed myself and didn't have a loss. I'm 4 months post op and have lost every week since surgery. But not this week. Uh-oh is what I'm thinking, and panic is setting in. Why didn't I lose ? What did I do different? Is this it , now back to the old struggles? Of course I am not able to eat large amounts of food but my appetite is slowly returning and that really scares the you know what out of me. This thread has been really quiet , hope everyone is well.

Thanks

I'm 3.5 months post op. Down 60 lbs from highest weight. I'm averaging about a 2 lb weight loss each week. As long as scale continues to go down I'm ok with 2 lb a week. Continue to struggle with getting protein and water in each day. Even with some says being a struggle, no regrets here.

3 months , down 65 lbs!!!!The picture says it all. You look great.

I wanna say , wow , 26/28 down to 14/16 , amazing. U must feel great. I fortunately had many different sizes in closet due to my constant yo-yo dieting. I did donate 5 large bags full of clothes to goodwill. So I'm limited as to what clothes I have left. I say go ahead and shop a little. Just shop on the cheap , consignment shops , stores like old navy and places that carry things for $10

So I had my 3 month check up with surgeon last week. Had blood work done a week before seeing doctor Results of blood work were perfect with the exception being my prealbumin levels ( this is protein levels, for those who may not know ) Doctor says this is a little low. No surprise, I expected my protein to be low Still a struggle to get in all in But , a little low is better then TOO low. Total weight lose 54.8lbs. PS. Salonboi..... Amazing pics.

When I started this thread I was so wanting others to reach out to, and now we've got this awesome group of people coming together, sharing their stories. The good bad and the ugly lol... I love reading what everyone posts here!! I'm glad it's so popular ????????❤️Great people , great thread , Indeed

We know that when we opt for this surgery it's only a tool , have to have our heads on straight too. Ur doing so much better then OK , 90 lbs. amazing !!! U can and will achieve ur goals. Good days and bad, hang in.

Congrats on your loss!!!! My sugar addiction is gone to, and chips still do the same to me!! I've been doing Veggie Sticks..

Kay's Naturals is a line of protein snacks , pretzels etc. taste pretty good. From AmazonI'll have to check them out!!! Thanks!! I just hope these snack type products aren't my trigger for bad stuff, creeping back in one day.. ????Salonboi. I hear that. I have tried a few pretzels but I will say , I am not routinely snacking. I haven't had bread , pasta, rice, etc since surgery. We do have to be careful. Past experience has shown bad habits creep back in easily.

I was dropping the weight much faster, 5 to 7 lbs a week. Now about 12 weeks after surgery dropping about 2lbs a week. Which I am fine with , as long as scale goes down , I'm good. I think to myself , no more yo-yo dieting. No more dieting period, it's a life style change. Feeling so fortunate. ????

Hey wow , wondered where you've been. So funny, to not have an appetite. I too have to force myself to eat. Some days I actually forget that I haven't eaten. 105lbs that's incredible. I remember you went through a lot after surgery with your leak and everything. Nice to know things are going well for you now.

When I was told pre op that my taste for some things may change ,I thought , ok maybe a little. Well my taste has changed a lot. Certain foods make me nauseous just thinking about them , like eggs. I've been eating mostly soups , salads, and fruit. Which isn't horrible. I make my own soups to control sodium I'm 11 weeks post op and down a total of 50.6 lbs. I've rambled enough. Hope everyone is doing great.

YAY!!! I am 11 lbs away and can't wait to be there ???? I went through close this weekend. I am taking the nice stuff to a consignment shop today at lunch. Hopefully I can fund some future shopping trips! It feels great to be able to purge the old and make room for the new.

Hello everyone. I weighed myself this morning, I am now in onederland. Feeling great. Went though closets over the weekend and have a ton of clothes I'm getting rid of, too big for me now. ????. And no going back so bigger sizes are out of here!!!! It's some of the little things I'm appreciating, like I can sit and cross my legs more easily.
