Anyone else have a low hanging apron belly? I have always held most of my weight in belly but as u lose my apron is still hanging and maybe getting lower to... I just want to be able to wear something other then leggings eventually. But my apron is really bothersome. Someone tell me this can get better and it starts to flatten out! I am still only 2 months post op total loss of 53 lbs. Sent from my SGH-I317M using the BariatricPal App

Thank you:) I hope I do but it I don't then u guess it is fixable if it's a big problem. Lol I don't feel young I have 2 kids that keep me so busy I forget what it's like to not have them haha what's quiet? I'm glad to hear you feel great I am already starting to notice I feel better and can get around much better too! It definitely is a positive life change for me. Knock on wood no complications so far and feeling so grateful! Sent from my SGH-I317M using the BariatricPal App

Ahh yes I figured this would be the case. And like you I assumed the weight loss its self was enough but as my skin becomes looser I am really not that happy with it. I'm 26 and I started at 318 I'm currently 266 and my goal set by my NUT was 180. So still a way to go. Sent from my SGH-I317M using the BariatricPal App

Wow what a difference you look great! You must feel so much better too!!!@ Sent from my SGH-I317M using BariatricPal mobile app

6 weeks post op. Tolerating things very well. I am on solid foods as I can handle. Still a few things I haven't tried but most part I feel great after eating. I am measuring I an getting in my protien and Water 95% of the time. Rny was Nov 7th. But since my pre op diet I have only lost 43 lbs. I am feeling like this us so minimal. They say don't compare but how hard is it when I see people's weight just shed. I walk everyday. hard to keep positive when it just never feels like enough. Maybe it's all brain games for me or maybe I am too excited to start noticing myself but I still feel like the 300 +lbs girl. I question if I'm not eating the right things even though it's all mostly protien. Don't get me wrong I am proud to say I am 40 lbs lighter but I just don't feel it's enough. Just needed a little vent this is my safe zone I love you guys here. Sent from my SGH-I317M using the BariatricPal App

Well no my pre op diet was 4 weeks long so I lost 18 of it then and the rest in the last 6 weeks lol. So only like 25 since surgery. Sent from my SGH-I317M using the BariatricPal App

Wow I am 3 days post op and the reflux is unreal. Dr said surgery went off without a hitch and everything was fine... it's so hard to take anything in when I feel so shitty. I have never ever experienced heart burn in my life before this is awful. Is this quite normal? They gave me prisolec I think it's called to take everyday for 3 months but wow I don't even know if it's working. Any suggestions? TIA

I know I've read so much on the dreaded 3 weeks stall. I am 3 weeks out today and have stalled on the scale since week two. even reading about it still feel mentally unprepared. I keep thinking the surgery isn't working for me lol I know crazy. .or that maybe I'm eating too much. . I get about 55oz of Water each day and between 50-65 grams of protien . My goal is 60-70 .. try my best but it's hard some days. So I guess my question is so I need to change something or do you just let it pass? Ps. I have also put my scale away so I will not be weighing myself until my month post op apt. But this is literally driving me crazy. Even though I know it happens... and it's normal. Ugh.

I know the weight won't melt off. I guess I just expected more from myself. Started at 318 pre op lost 17 lbs 301 day of surgery and today 283... just feel like this isn't a nice huge loss like others. I try not to compare but so hard not too. I'm just ready to really start to feel and notices the difference. I notice some things but it's still like I'm the same in most ways. I just needed a little vent.i am feeling crazy lately. Sent from my SGH-I317M using the BariatricPal App

Definitely makes sense. I know it seems crazy to think like this but I've made so many changes with myself and diet I can't wait to see the changes in myself ! Sent from my SGH-I317M using the BariatricPal App

Ya that's what I have to keep in mind ... I had surgery Nov 7th this year... I just such dramatic changes in other people and I feel that isn't me. I just can't wait to see my hard work pay off I have changed so much to be here. Congrats on your journey 100 lbs in 9 months is so fast. Sent from my SGH-I317M using the BariatricPal App

It is by far the hardest thing I've come across my journey so far but finally after those long 2 weeks I am down 2 more lbs! I had RNY 11-7We're a week apart! Sent from my SGH-I317M using the BariatricPal App

Thank you I did uo the protien and Water and lost 2 lbs. It definitely makes a difference!! Go us! Lol it was a nice relief to see the scale move even just a little Sent from my SGH-I317M using the BariatricPal App

Let it pass. I didn't lose a thing from 7 days post til 22 days. I was enraged b/c I was self pay and thought I'd wasted all this money and put myself through surgery. Week 3 I lost 9 lbs. I guess my 3 week stall came week early! Try keeping off the scale for a week. Now that I've broken a stall each one is getting easier to handle because I know that it's just a matter of time. You'll start losing again as long as you stay on plan. Thank you this gives me hope. doesn't it just feel like forever? That's the hard part waiting for it to break. I sure hope it gets easier lol scale is away. I never owned a scale before should have kept it that way maybe it wouldn't stress me out as much lol Sent from my SGH-I317M using the BariatricPal App YES, it feels like forever! I was still on liquids and was so pissed, lol. Like wtf, I'm not even eating food and I'm not losing anything. I told my nurse about it at my one month post and she said that our weight loss isn't perfectly linear, we lose weight in steps more than a straight line. Just stick to your plan, it'll happen! That's how I'm feeling is angry lol. Like seriously question wth could I be doing that is causing this . Even though I read and read and see its normal. But still. Don't think any amount of reading about it prepares you for what you feel after! Your stall Def came early just like mine too. Ah thanks for your words it's great to just feel like I'm not a complete idiot and failure lol. I have done amazing at sticking to my plan so I think it makes me expect to just keep dropping the lbs lol but no. Not reality. Sent from my SGH-I317M using the BariatricPal App

I'm totally in the same mindset. Feel like surgery was a failure. I am 3 weeks post op today. Scale hasn't budged in a whole week. I think inches have but haven't measured. Feel like I'm eating to much through the day or doing something wrong I am on my soft foods stage in my diet so I'm eating pretty well anything that's not to hard or hard to digest. Blah.. I also feel like when I say I've only lost 33 lbs since my pre op diet to now it seems so minuscule. Even though it's a good amount and I didn't gain my weight overnight. I feel like I'm expecting it to be gone over night. oh how I feel crazy. Sent from my SGH-I317M using the BariatricPal App

Thank you they sent me home with a 3 month prescription for something that starts with p. It has helped but not 100% I wonder if it's because I am not drinking enough but it seems to only bother me when I have sips. This is crazy lol. I managed some tomatoes Soup today 1/4 cup and it went down well. Sent from my SGH-I317M using the BariatricPal App

I am really suckling at getting all the fluids in. Doing better today. But it's extremely hard . I never had reflux or experienced heart burn before surgery. Sent from my SGH-I317M using the BariatricPal App

Well day 3 of my Optifast out of my 4 weeks. I am struggling today I took a nibble of my 3 yr Olds pizza like a tiny nibble. Is this going to affect me?? I feel so guilty so so guilty. It's not going to happen again!! Please no judgement I just want to know I'm not a complete mess up. This is the hardest thing I've ever done. Feed my kids and not eat with them.
