I'm waiting patiently to get out of the 200's. I want the scale to say 199 Ive been the same weight for 5 weeks. I'm loosing inches and hair but no weight. Not sure what to do? Ive increase my water and drinking 2 protein shakes a day.

Well last week, I hit 148. This week the scale sits at 151-152. I'm struggling with just being ok that maybe this is enough weight lost. Hmm... scary odd feeling not to be fighting the battle. Now what?

I know it's silly, but I'm ecstatic today! I started this journey needing to lose 183.8 lbs to reach my goal weight of 135 lbs. As of this morning, I have less than 100 lbs to lose! Yippee......I'm in the double digits now!

Im just now starting my journey to weight loss. On Tuesday I enrolled into the WeightLoss program thru my Insurance and am waiting for the Nurse in charge of my case to contact me. Im happy I found this site ive been reading and have learned lots. Thanks to everyone who has already gone thru the WL surgery process and can offer me advice and information. :}

I have been on a full liquid diet since 9/3, due to this leak. Monday the dr. said I can start soft foods ... but I am scared. How ironic is that? lol... I've gotten used to this routine (and hey my weight's dropped well as well). So now what? Sigh.... I made goal (woo hoo)! 149.5, boo yeah!

i hope im strong enough to keep the weight off

Sleeved on Tuesday. Other than horrible nausea from the anesthesia, I feel fine, just tired. I am finding creative ways to puree foods to eat. The famiiy had pizza tonight and I just went to another room. My biggest surprise is that although I had a big sweet-tooth (my weakness), I am sick of all the sweet drinks and crave chicken soup or other non-sweet things. The surgeon was pleased I was a compliant pre-op patient and had lost weight on Optifast. Do most people struggle and cheat on...

Is it just me, or is there anyone out there who's spouse is literally upset over you getting the sleeve and losing so much weight so fast? she is following my diet and exercising as well, but she is very down and hurting because my weight is falling very quickly and not having to do anything, to add to her insult im not eating hardly anything at all, she is tired and starving and barely losing weight. Is this just an isolated issue????

Well, 8 days of vacation, eating out 3 times a day. I only gained 2.4 pounds. Not too bad.

So what was your official week 1 weight? Mine was 228. Seven pounds down since surgery

just scheduled my breast lift/aug for february! so excited!!! going 6 months out to lose that last chunk of weight, i deserve it!!!

Wow.. it's so hard to believe I've been living life at goal for 11 months now. I am happy as ever! Yes every day is still a battle to figure all this "At Goal" stuff out but I think I'm getting the hang of it. Thank you all for continuing to follow my journey. This is a life long one, it will never end - but realizing there is a difference between living comfortably and not making an obsession out of it is like the weight of the World off my shoulders. Much ♥ and P...

So I've noticed in the past that my body likes to maintain weight at 217 and it seems like now I can't get pas that point Idk what to do

I can't believe that I have gained a lb. I have been eating sugary stuff and didn't eat any protein last night. boy am I paying for it. Back on track now.

I'm having a hard time with the aspect that everyone is losing all this weight and I can't lose anything. I'm aware that it depends on a lot of things, but the fact still remains that eating is no longer the same. No fried foods, sweets, junk food, or soda along with plenty of exercise, and nothing. What can I do. By

So how do you change your ticker to show you have lost weight???

I work at for the same hospital facility where I had surgery and took my pre surgery classes. While on break from an annual update class I saw that a pre surgery class was starting. I said hello to my nutritionist who was shocked to see me and my weight loss. She asked me to speak to the class quickly (I was on a 10min break). It felt really nice talking to the group and I felt really proud of myself :-)

can anyone help? I am 7 weeks out and my weight loss has stopped. It's been almost 3 weeks that I haven't lost. Is this normal? also, my appetite is coming back, and I can, but don't eat more. I'm afraid if I'm having a down day I will eat the wrong things. Lots of ppl I've followed has lost 100lbs or close to it. What am I doing wrong? If anyone can shed some light on this, I would greatly appreciate it......

I can't believe in 4 weeks I'm 20 pounds from ONEderland I never thought seeing a 1 in the beginning of my weight would ever be possible!

Muscles are toning nicely ... Just no weight loss.

I am so stoked. Today I weighed myself and the scale said 144.6 lbs. Yesterday I weighed myself and the same scale reported 161.4. Can I trust this scale, or is alot of my weight water weight?

I'm preparing myself mentally for my weigh in's...I typically gain when I work out BUT I MUST do this for my heart. So if I gain (or even lose, but hopefully not too much) I will be fine

Yeah!! I hit 216!! The same weight I was in 2004 when I graduated from undergrad!! Onederland here I come!!!
