4 weeks today! Scars are almost gone!!! I just may wear a 2 piece someday! I am staying around 184 though iv gone from a 16 to a 12- my body is changing though not as big of a weight loss- thank you all for your support!!

Good morning all, I just wanted to share how I was feeling this morning and get some feed back for you guys. I am 30 days post-op and I have only lost 16.4 lbs. last week I didn't loose anything. So most of my weight lost came during the first 2 weeks! I was sure that I would have lost more by now. What am I doing wrong? I must admit that I have been having a hard time finding a protein that I can drink without gagging. All of the ones that I've tried have been disgusting and I c...

3RD week of stall.. wondering how long my body can fight the weight loss. Would love to hear from others 1-3 months out and how you are doing..

Still stalled around the same weight since 7/17 keep bouncing around thru 2lbs up and down. My body was stuck at this weight for a long time and I'm really learning why I never could stick to a "diet" before. I could never outlast the stalls and my body must be super weight loss resistant!

Excited as I reached my pre-surgery weight goal! Still have 3 weeks to go!

so I have figured out. I stall a day after my period for about a week and when I ovulate for about a week. Then the weight seems to fall off. I don't change what I eat. Go figure.

So I am 3 weeks post op and feeling great. Im on my to a better and wonderful new life. I finally get to do all the things normal people do...go to theme parks and get on the rides. Ride go carts. Shop at the mall. All those wonderfull thing. And all thanks to the sleeve surgery. First 7 days post op and I had lost 29 pounds with a total weight loss of 74 pounds. Its two weeks later from the 1st weigh since the loss of the 29 pounds and not sure how much I lost yet. But I'm in my way to m...

OK.....so I have this ticker. Can anyone tell me how to change the weight on it? I;ve kept going back on the website and I can't figure it out! Frustrating

I got on the scale again this morning, fully expecting to see a bit of a gain or no movement. I wanted to know how hard I needed to work from now until official weigh day. Well I'm down another 1.4 Lbs. Wow!!! This is GREAT!!!!!!!

starting fresh. doing grocery shopping today. what should I buy for optimum weight loss? #wls #vsg #nawls #obesity

So I am now down a full 43 lbs from my top weight! The scale is now at 207 and I really hope to be in Onederland sometime soon! Would like to make it by New Year's - what a great celebration that would be!

Heyoooo!!! My current official totals are: Since last weigh in 2.4 Lbs -- Total since Sleeve date 29.2 Lbs -- Total since Pre Op diet 38.2 Lbs -- Total since Highest Weight 87.2 Lbs. )

18 days left for my operation. All I do is sit home and read about this surgery. Why am I not afraid of the coming Operation? Is that normal. Maybe it will come. I do not se myself as ever being at normal weight. Wish I could produce some nice pictures in my head...

I am really having trouble losing weight pre-op. Initially, I lost 10 lbs and then life took over and I wasnt able to get back to the gym as regularly. The protein shakes disgust me. I found out adding a banana isnt good for my diet, according to the nutritionist. Yet, it helped me to get the shake down by cutting the whey taste. I havent given up yet and I wont. But I am trying to gather up my willpower. The surgeon didnt give me a set amount of weight to lose. I guess she just wanted to see...

Im stuck why cant I break this weight It's getting quite depressing even though I here how great I look I still know how much I weight

trying to post weight ticker and having trouble.

5 days at Disneyland has exhausted me! There is no place like home. On a more serious note...I didnt gain and I didn't lose while on vacation. Guess I can't complain.

Well, it has been one whole week since surgery. Kinda feeling down, but I'm okay. I am down 33 pounds that includes before surgery weight loss.

Sooo I'm losing weight like crazy again right now... and I'll take it for as long as it will last. However as I'm updating my ticker I notice - I'M LESS THAN ONE HUNDRED POUNDS TO GOAL!!! WHOOOOOOT!!!

I have been struggling like crazy to keep losing weight. i am on day two of liquids tomorrow will be my last day. then to mushy foods.

There is a certain satisfaction seeing your exhusband, who cruelly berated you for being fat and cheated on you, and seeing the look on his face as he comments "how great" you now look. Is it wrong that I get immense satisfaction over the fact his girlfriend has gained a ton of weight while I lost it? *grins*

One yr. ago today I was banded and have 53 lbs, to go for goal weight.

I want to strap 230lbs worth of weight on my back and walk around for a bit so I can remember what that felt like.

I have found my first and only downfall to losing weight- I'm running out of good fatty spots to give myself shots. I've got really ugly, angry spots that seem to last for weeks. I'm praying I don't have to change meds. Ugh!
