Okay ladies!! I stepped on the scale today and it looks like the stall I've been on for 3 wks is finally over... That is unless the scales were just playing with my emotions! ???? I will be so happy to have that stubborn stall behind me.

congrats. Mine seems to be ongoing. Depressed. ????????

@@Karen Scott don't be depressed it will come. Remember not to count on the scale also the inches that is coming off too. The way your clothes feel etc. Remember we are women we carry Water weight to when its our time of the month. You are doing everything right don't beat yourself because the scale hasn't moved. That is way I only weigh once a week. I know me I would be upset if it didn't move. I pray that you get peace so you can count on other factor to see that your losing the weight you need. It will be ok

omg congrats it's funny because yesterday I pushed myself a little harder to get in more calories and a 20 minutes of walking on my treadmill and the scale finally decided to go down. Good luck

Hi. I was done 8/26. Was dismissed the next morning and never had to have a pain med. I was a little tired the first couple of days but fine after that. Even went to the Rockies on vacation and spent 2 days 4-wheeling. I will be 2 weeks out tomorrow and have only lost 14#s. But I am wearing a size smaller in clothes and can actually reach my feet!!!. I haven't been able to do that for awhile now. I am still on Clear Liquids until tomorrow but sure am looking forward to having some soft food. Am a little afraid since I am never hungry and have no idea what "full" feels like. Can hardly wait for "onederland". I am getting closer :D

30 pounds in two weeks is a super fast loss. Your body is probably just figuring out what happened and is readjusting. Stalls around the third week are very common. Just hang in there and it will pass eventually.

How can you say that it is not working for you? You lost 30 pounds in two weeks, that's awesome! Just like before the WLS, it will take time. Some folks reach their goal weight in 6 mos, 8 mos or a year. Just stick to plan and it will move eventually for you.

Yep, got the bad breathe too. It was worst the first week of post -op. Brushing my teeth did nothing for it, lol

Hello all! Checking in today after my 2 weeks post op visit yesterday. I am down 13 pounds in two weekss, Yay! My bp was 164/90, Nay! I was really hoping that I will not need these dang nabbit pills again. So, I will have to take my crushed bp meds and they are disgusting. My surgeon still have me pureed foods fo another 2 weeks. i showed him my baby food that I made for myself and he said it was too thick, WHAT! He said that if it cannot come through a straw then it is too thick. Now that is a bummer, really. I can't imagine runny chicken. I was extremely pooped yesterday. I didn't want to eat of drink anything. I ended up taking a nap around 12 and then went to bed around 9. It was bad but today I hav energy. My dietician got on me about my shakes so now I am concentrating on them now.

My meal plan is the have at least 2 shakes per day (these are 27 grams of Protein a piece). Now, I have to tweek these shakes because I do not like the taste. I add 1 tblspoon of Peanut Butter and a small piece of banana. i will have two high Protein Snacks and a small dinner. Also, trying to avoid this diarrhea that I have sometimes. Yesterday was bad.Still taking the 2 Flintstones Complete.

I have a few NSV(non scale victories). My ring is loose. I was able to bend down with my knees instead of having my butt in the air, lol. I was also able to cross my legs a little and I notice that my stomach is smaller. Anyone else?

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
