Thank you so much for the kind words. I had surgery at 300lbs my bmi was around 60 I believe I'm only 5ft tall. Almost all my weight is in my mid section Sent from my SM-A716U using BariatricPal mobile app

Hey Yall Its been a minute since I posted life has been lifeing lol. So tomorrow is my 1 year check up I actually don't complete a year until Friday but the appointment is early. I've decided for my mental sake I'm not going to go. Since surgery I've lost 63lbs not that I'm not proud but honestly just thought I would be further along. I've lost 102 from my highest weight but from surgery it's been really slow. I've had some many victories this year. My a1c is 5.2 it was 7.6 last year, I'm wearing a 16, I was in a 26 last year. My BP is in good range. I can work out for an hour. I have traveled something serious this year and don't need a seat belt extender. All the positive and i still feel like I failed. I'm hoping next year I can keep moving forward and pull myself out of this slump. Happy Surgery Anniversary to me. Sent from my SM-A716U using BariatricPal mobile app

I had great boobs before surgery I loved them. Now they are depressing so I'll be getting that fixed. Just sacks of air now Sent from my SM-A716U using BariatricPal mobile app

Yeah I went to a Holiday gathering last weekend and wore some size 9 rings well I lost them all. They feel off I didn't realize and I guess now I should buy some new rings. Luckily it wasn't anything sentimental [emoji3061] Sent from my SM-A716U using BariatricPal mobile app

Definitely food. I use to eat out a lot. Also prescription meds. I think my clothing budget is what I mostly spend money on now [emoji1787] Sent from my SM-A716U using BariatricPal mobile app

Thank you everyone for the replies! It is oh so needed. I feel like I have to constantly remind myself not to compare myself and be proud of the difference I've made in my life. I really appreciate all the responses it really picked me up. I'm going to keep pushing forward and enjoy the wins. [emoji3060] Sent from my SM-A716U using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm 5 months out and just use moderation. I go out with friends and just take what I don't eat home. I occasionally drink a cocktail. I still wait 30 minutes between eating and drinking. When eating with family I focus on protein. I just try to do my best to make the best choices but don't beat myself up to bad for having a social life Sent from my SM-A716U using BariatricPal mobile app

Hello, Before I begin if you are male you can exit the post. Soooooo ladies I was sleeved 12/16 I began taking low birth control about a month before. Periods have been pretty normal until this month. I've literally been on my cycle for about a month now and my OBGYN doesn't seem concerned saying it's the birth control regulating......what from 5 months ago?!?!? So my aunt brought up that it could be the surgery so has anyone experienced anything like this before???? I'm just a little nervous because I've never experienced this before? [emoji28] sorry this is tmi but someone give me some online insight.... I've been to the Dr already Sent from my SM-A716U using BariatricPal mobile app

Thanks everyone! I appreciate everyone's insight. I figured it might have been hormone related but just wasn't sure. Hopefully this ends soon [emoji854] Sent from my SM-A716U using BariatricPal mobile app

Donating it all. Seem of the new stuff I sell on Poshmark. I'll never ever need those clothes again Sent from my SM-A716U using BariatricPal mobile app

Hello, I had sleeve on 12/16 and my weight has not moved much and today I noticed it's back up 3lbs. I lost 13lbs on pre op but nothing after surgery. Is this normal? I'm feeling discouraged. I've been on full liquids. I get my protein in the form of shakes and yogurt. It's hard to get fluids in but I am doing that too. Any advice or help? Sent from my SM-A716U using BariatricPal mobile app

Yes just keep at it. Follow your program and ignore that darn scale. I barely get on the scale nowadays. I just measure inches and compare myself in clothes. I was in a 4x before surgery I'm in a 2x and some 1x. Also took a trip and no longer need a extender for the seat belt. Those victories alone let me know I'm moving in the right direction.

Hey! So I'm still hanging in there. Weight loss is still very slow. I'm down 42lbs it's a daily war seems like but I figure some progress is better than none. Sent from my SM-A716U using BariatricPal mobile app

Hello all, I'm about 60 days post op. I lost 11 lbs liquid diet and 20lbs since surgery. I am feeling down because everyone around me seems to be dropping weight but me. I do the treadmill at Planet Fitness. I'm following the after surgery phases to the letter. I get 80 to 90 Oz of water a day. I've lost nothing in over 7days in fact according to the scale I've gained a lb or two. I feel my baratric team is not giving me clear guidelines. I asked nutrition how many calories per day her response is don't count calories. Huh?!?!? My nutrition team keeps saying the scale is not a true indicator for weight loss but shouldn't it move some..... I just feel down today about it. Someone help me out I don't wanna fail. Sent from my SM-A716U using BariatricPal mobile app

I agree because I feel smaller and can tell in clothes. I am terrible about remembering to measure myself. Sent from my SM-A716U using BariatricPal mobile app

I appreciate all of the responses. It's so nice to have good folks to snap me back into reality. I'm going to stop obsessing over that scale and focus on my new lifestyle. It's easier said than done but no more scale obsession. Sent from my SM-A716U using BariatricPal mobile app

Same here. I'm extremely depressed Sent from my SM-A716U using BariatricPal mobile app

Hey everyone just checking in. So today is exactly a month since surgery..... I've lost 9lbs.....scale hardly moves I've been at 291 for a week now. I went to see my surgeon about a week ago and she seems pleased. I can tell in my face and arms I've lost weight but the scale is just not moving at all. I'm trying to keep the faith but it's hard when I read people lost 15 lbs a month after surgery and I'm not even at 10lbs. [emoji37] Sent from my SM-A716U using BariatricPal mobile app

Okay. Thank you both. Let me just focus on my plan. I appreciate the advice for the 1st time yesterday I got all my fluid and protein in like I was supposed to and I felt so much better physically. Sent from my SM-A716U using BariatricPal mobile app
