So I've been complaining that I haven't lost enough weight. Before my journey I was in a size 20. Today I went clothes shopping and I fit in size 16 jeans and size 14 slacks!!! Wow! I was shocked

Stay off the scale 1 time a week.

If you check every day you will be disappointed Becuse the scale didn't move then you will cut back on your eating put your body into starvation mode and still won't lose weight.

I know I have done this and my doctor reamed my but about it ,when I get my calories up around 800 the weight comes off faster. Just Becuse you don't see the scale move does not mean your body is not changing as you just found out.

We all want it to come off fast and be skinny next week and it will come off in time. To bad it won't come off as fast as we can put it on

.your doing fine keep it up I bet you like the new you. Becuse I like the new Me

what have your pain and struggles truly been like after surgery I'm pre surgery, I'm trying to decide between sleeve or the bypass but I really wonder about complications and dumping with bypass

To be completely honest, it's been great not many struggles I am able to say that I am 100% happy w/ my decision. At first I was bummed that the weight came off slow, but when I tried clothes on, I realized the inches were falling off. At first I was sad I couldn't eat the foods I love, but now I could care less because I don't miss the weight. My confidence has become so much better, and the compliments put me on cloud 9, it's the best thing I have ever done. (Besides birthing my children) follow your heart, and u will do great. Oh And I have never once dumped

Hi I had gastric bypass surgery 9/10/12 to be honest the 1st few days were very painful for me I cannot tolerate pain very well but as soon as it was controlled I felt alot better. Then one of my incisions became infected its not common but can happen that has been very painful and I'm still healing and continue to take pain meds for that. Now that I'm 5 weeks post op I'm thankfully starting to feel alot better I'm able to exercise a bit more and do my daily activities Goodluck on what u decide to do whats best for u and after all that I've been through so far I do not regret my decision
