Even though I haven't lost any weight in months, I now fit into size 18/20 pants! That's down from a 28 :-)

Down to 169 as of this morning. All my clothes are SO baggy I kinda feel like I look like a bum wearing them. Was feeling really down about this yesterday don't want to go shopping for new clothes right now because in a couple of weeks those will be too big... Anyone else ever feel this frustration about losing? Anyone ever have that brief hate that they lost all that weight?

Wondering if I should have lost more weight?

After a 6 month battle with ambivalence about the surgery, I have lost the 6lbs needed to reach my pre-surgery goal weight. . .It's ON!!!

Weight loss has slowed, trying not to get discouraged by numbers on scale...

Weight loss is so slow, going without meat for a while to see if that helps. Lots of protein shakes.

I'm coming up on a year. My weight loss has not be as fast as I'd like, but my health has greatly improved.

1 week from today I start "the sleeved life"... not exactly looking forward to the surgery, but am looking forward to the months ahead as I finally drop this weight!!

Down another pound! 27 pounds to my goal weight! So close I can taste it!

One third of the way into Options and I have lost just over one third of the weight they want me to lose pre-surgery so it is looking good. Folks are now having their surgeries within about a week of finishing options so it looks as if I should have my surgery in July.

Am I eating too little? Slow weight loss in first three weeks. I am eating approx 550-600 calories. The NUT thinks this is where I should be. I am exercising too. I have only lost 12 lbs, today is exactly 3 weeks. Should I increase to closer to 800 calories?

nine months=75 pounds gone. amazing, hell yes. in the 100's again, fantastic. ability to move freely/pain free no words. so thankful for this experience. questioning if you should do it? you should question. but in the end the gains outweigh the losses. love.

My scale broke, so now I am not constantly looking and checking my weight.

HW: 285 Start Weight: 277 Sugery Weight:269 CW: 253.5 Sleeve Loss: 23.5

ok, now Im on a STRICT 4 ensure drinks per day and water until surgery. all because i had the "last meal" thing they say u can have and gained 5 pounds! I had minimal weight loss due to my body being stubborn so they werent really impressed. OOPS ......its been 3 days and i feel AWFUL. dizzy, weak, confused....all to shrink my liver enough for surgery in 2 days...can i possibly shrink my liver enough in only 8 days?

Hello I'm Jenipher wife and mother I had VSG surgery on October 8, 2012 with Dr. Nguyen in Manteca, Ca. I am doing well and taking it one day at a time. Losing weight has been consistent since my surgery date seemingly no matter what I eat. A rule of thumb you will feel exactly how you eat. You want to feel good eat good that means whatever is in your food phase. You want to feel bad eat things that are not in your food phase you will feel rotten. If I can help you in your journey please...
