Hi all, I'm new here so I wanted to introduce myself. My name is Samantha and to this date I've lost 96lbs. My starting weight was 414 lbs. My weight loss surgery was 12-15-2014. I had the gastric bypass. For the last two weeks I had some set backs but now I'm back on track. Two weeks ago I got depressed about how much weight lost so I think I was self sabotaging. It was still feeling surreal to me, a dream. But when I stopped losing weight, I realized my dream. I've had to get back losing by reverting to liquids for a few days. It's helped, I've already lost 6 more lbs in just a few days. I was told all this was normal and by joining this forum I've realized too, I'm not alone. Thank you for yalls support and posts. This has really been a lifesaver.

Absolutely agree! This has been life saving. I was given the same kind of advice, if I stall .. go back to liquid and the weight loss will pick up again. So far, it's been steady loss but I am still working toward my goal weight. 82 pounds down, 18 more to go. We can do it!

I had gastric bypass 9/25 and am still going strong. I have one week stalls once a month around the time of my cycle, but I just stick to the diet and the Protein and the weight continues to go down.
