JenniferY 6 Posted April 11, 2018 Hi everyone! I haven't been very active here, but I want to jump back in. I'm just about 8 weeks out and i'm down 38 pounds since surgery. I feel like I've hit a bit of a stall, but I keep going:) What's everyone eating these days? I feel like all I eat is chicken, ground turkey, and Protein Bars. I need to mix it up! Congrats to everyone on their weight loss. Keep up the great work! 1 FluffyChix reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FluffyChix 17,415 Posted April 12, 2018 I forgot to do my stats for the week! Derp! I'm down -8.2lbs this week. It's about dang time. Right? The doc put me back on diuretics and took me off one blood pressure pill. So still on 2 BP pills, just different ones and the Fluid really came off! I feel good, but really tired--especially in the afternoon. Not even the Vitamins are helping out? Dunno...

JazmaniaRNY 80 Posted April 12, 2018 Forgot to post yesterday..... hope everyone is well.... hardest week of my life, I kind of have been bad about liquid intake and Protein intake and it’s kicking my butt. Probablly why my body has slowed down on weight loss.STATS:HW: 298lbsSW: 262lbsCW: 231lbs Total lost: 31lbs since surgery and 67lbs since my highestS/p RNY 2/7/18 (64 days out). Idk I feel like I should have lost more... any advice on that.... then I think about it and I’m going down steady so I am okay with that as long as I go down... I can def. tell a difference now especially in clothes. I was a size 22/3x or 2x and now I am a size 16/XL or L. I am losing more volume which is weird that it won’t show in my weight...... Aqua fitness here I come.... everyone is doing great so happy to hear everyone is positive and motivated.... can’t wait for summer time..... Question: what’s your fav thing to eat? Post me some recipes I am in need of a change up too.... lol 1 FluffyChix reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
istytehcrawk 256 Posted April 12, 2018 (edited) I'm eight weeks out today, and this morning I got curious and decided to look back and see what my loss has been week-by-week, and lo and behold, I spot a pattern! Surgery: 413 Week 1: 403.4 - down 9.6 Week 2: 387.6 - down 15.8 since Week 1, 25.4 overall Week 3: 381.6 - down 6 since Week 2, 31.4 overall Week 4: 379.8 - down 1.8 since Week 3, 33.2 overall Week 5: 378 - down 1.8 since Week 4, 35 overall Week 6: 372.8 - down 5.2 since Week 5, 40.2 overall Week 7: 371 - down 1.8 since Week 6, 42 overall Week 8: 368.6 - down 2.4 since Week 7, 44.4 overall I would MUCH prefer to have two good weeks followed by one slow week than the reverse, but at least it's still on a downward trend. These less-than-two-pounds weeks are really frustrating! Edited April 12, 2018 by istytehcrawk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Post me some recipes I am in need of a change up too.... lol I'm sorry you're struggling. I feel this same way too and I had surgery about 2 weeks after you. Why not do a week by week show like Misty did? You might see the losses better? Also, what are you eating in a typical day right now? Here's my weekly report since surgery 2.20.18 (loss of total -24.8lbs since surgery): Week 1: +0.4lbs Week 2: - 7.4lbs Week 3: -3.4lbs Week 4: -1.4lbs Week 5: -3.6lbs Week 6: -0.4lbs Week 7: -7.2lbs Week 8 (Partial): -1.8lbs I don't know about you, but I've never lost this kind of weight per week.

I'm trying to focus on that, as well, because even though these "small" loss weeks are super frustrating, it's still better than I ever did before surgery. 2 FluffyChix and angyplus5 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks Misty for hilighting this as a tool!!I don’t have my weekly weigh ins. I don’t want to get devasted so I do measure myself and have been since March and I have lost a tremendous amount of inches. I am overall happy with everything but I do miss my caffeine. everyone tells me I’m shrinking so if people notice it’s a good thing.... you are doing great fluffy I am going to have to start calling you barely fluffy lol 1 FluffyChix reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FluffyChix 17,415 Posted April 13, 2018 If you're shrinking, then that's even better. the scale lies! LOL. Congrats! ((hugs)) I drink decaff all the live long day. No probs as of yet. Iron Will likes it just fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You're totally the unofficial Feb cheerleader! thanks for keeping us motivated! Ive been missing these weigh ins because I'm complacently discouraged with myself. think its 3 weeks now and im dancing between 213-210 SD: Feb 20th, 2018 SW: 249lbs (or somthing close to that...so many numbers) CW: 210...ish GW 140-150 (although right now i just want to be under 200) Back at work and doing well, i think work has me more on tract back on a kinda schedule, pushing Protein this week really hoping to hit those goals and see if i can push though this stall. 1 FluffyChix reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh man! Stalls suck but stay the course. Now is the time to knuckle down and weigh and measure and be accountable for every bite so you're sure you're not the cause of it! ((hugs)) And congrats on your losses!!!! 249 - 210 = 39 lbs girlie!!! That's outstanding! It's about 4.875lbs per week!!!! Gimme! Gimme! I want! I want! I need! I need!
