Wow u look amazing! I'm 2 1/2 months post op and don't see a difference even though I'm down 49lbs I think its cuz my starting weight was so high so even after that much weight loss I'm still over 300lbs

I feel like I'm never gonna be "small" did u feel that way in yhe beginning or has it always just come off for you?

I started at 370 (well i was more than that but thats where I was at the 1st appt)...and I had trouble seeing any changes in the beginning. they were happening....but I just was so used to seeing me at 370+ that I couldnt see less. I felt like i'd never be small (and still do feel that way) but I can look at photos and tell a difference!! And now in the mirror I see a smaller me. hang in there...you'll get there!! You may never "feel" small...but you are!!

HW 317...today 162

I stalled multiple times and it has never come off

I have to remind myself with pictures constantly of the lose so far to help motivate me to see it is coming off! I really had to grieve my "best friend" (food) for months. I don't know if anyone else did but this was something I still struggle with! I have always been overweight and this has been life changing in all the right ways your still emotional from surgery and learning what you can/can't have...all normal! I assure you it will come off! Just follow your diet and exercise and it will come off!!

How long was the longest weight loss stall for you. I'm entering my fifth month and stalling to 0-1 lbs which I think is Water weight.

[shershrinking 53]

I am probably completely wrong in this thought but... I think weightloss stalls because the body thinks it is starving and slows its metabolism to store that fat. I think i trick it by eating higher calories one day every couple weeks- is that crazy? (i can just hear my nutrition coach scream)

[shershrinking 53]

I have been grieving for my food too , and havent even had surgery yet.
