I'm 5'7" My starting weight was 214. My current weight is 149 I am three months post op! I want to encourage anyone reading this that have doubts... this surgery really really does work. Eat right and work out and the weight will come off!!! I'm so thankful

I knew I was not the only one! It's ridiculous!! I think the past few days I have decided and will stick to only weighing once a week. I feel the best I have felt in over 10 years and I am eating right and working out. The only time I need to worry is if I fall off track but I don't see that happening... thanks everyone for their response!!!

Almost 3 months post op down 60lbs!!!

It's super frustrating!! I know though that our body need time to catch up with all the weight loss. It's just hard when you watch the scale go down down down and then stop! Lol we will get past the dang stall! Patience is what I keep saying to myself!

I'm 11 weeks post op and wondering if there is such thing as a stall around this time? Haven't lost any this week! Thanks!

Thanks for the reply! I will keep focused. Maybe I'll just put the scale away until next week that way I don't stress too much.

I started at 214 and I'm a couple of weeks away from being 3 months post op and I've lost 58lbs

It's been a little over two months since surgery and I couldn't be happier!!! Best thing I have ever done!!! Down 55lbs!!! I feel alive again.

Thank you so much! You will do awesome! I started running about 3-4 weeks after surgery. I am only running about 25 minutes 4-5 days a week. I am trying to keep it just enough but not so much that I get burned out. I am considering starting some weights and changing things up a bit. But running has been great!

Thank you so much! I am losing about three pounds a week. I have learned that if you stay away from carbs ( sounds aweful I know, but it's completely doable after surgery) eat and drink your protein and drink your water!!! Add some good workouts, the weight WILL come off! Anyone that is about to have surgery, set realistic goals and when you hit that small goal, make another small goal! I tend to get disappointed easily and so this method worked great for me. Everyone is different too so don't compare... I seriously though I was going to be that girl that wouldn't lose anymore... that week three stall freaked me out. I mean I didn't lose a lb hat whole week and then bam! Started losing again! This surgery rocks. Just stay focused ya so worth it! Good luck to everyone we are all on this journey together

45lbs is amazing!!! You are doing great! Don't let the voice in your head win. You keep pushing yourself and eating right and you will get there. Take it one day at a time... you seriously are doing great!

Awww thank you everyone!!! Making me feel good!!!

You are going to do awesome!

I had the gastric sleeve on May 2, 2017. My starting weight was 214, current weight 158! I'm running 5 days a week and eating protein protein protein! Thanks everyone ❤️❤️

Yes!! It does feel good! It was a lifestyle change for sure but so so worth it. Thank you everyone!!

❤️❤️ Thank you so much! I was so scared in the beginning and the thoughts after surgery that this wouldn't work for me. I'm glad I kept my head up and worked hard! It's an amazing journey!

You are going to love dr. McCarty!! He is amazing! I'm post op 8 weeks and down 52lbs! He is the best! I had surgery on a Monday and was walking the mall on Friday! Good luck!

Just wondering what should be my goal weight? I am 30 years old and 5'6". I'm approaching my first goal of 160... what is too small I guess I should say? I am working so hard and eating super clean and feeling amazing! Thanks for any advice!

Thank you everyone for their reply! I agree with all of you! I'm going to work hard and get to where I want to be! I had this surgery because I could not keep the weight off and I'm so happy to be where I am today!! You all are right! I will know when I hit my happy place! Thanks for the replies and all the support ❤️Happy for ALL of us! My goal is 140. I would be thrilled there!

I do chike protein coffee it is AMAZING. I love the mocha one. Seriously if you haven't heard of it give it a try you will not be disappointed. I started having it 1 month post op and it has been great plus it helps me with my protein!

148 would feel amazing! That sounds like a great number to me. Thank you for your reply!

It's been absolutely amazing for me! I would do it all over again in a heartbeat. I have had no issues at all. I'm never hungry. I had surgery on may 2nd and I am down 46lbs. The weight loss has slowed big time but I'm still dropping every week. I get full really fast, And when I say full I mean I'm not longer hungry at all. It was worth it to me 110%. All my health issues are gone, I feel alive again. I was scared beyond belief before surgery and then I just said to myself, it's going to be great and I'm going to be just fine. I wish I could tell everyone how great this surgery really is! Good luck to you!!!
