Its not just you - Me and you are one day apart surgery - Driving me nuts also, More More weight loss More More - Fully understand - I decided to only step on the scale Sunday morning to see by the week, The daily checks were makiing me nuts!

I have read a ton on this site and others and everyone agrees - There are Head issues with this as well as physical ones, the head games get me at times also

Thank you so much! & yes i hate the scale and wish that that didnt matter but to my surgeon the number on the scale means everything and im stuck right around between 239 and 240 im just tryin to get it moving again like it was. It is so frustrating

Thanks for posting this! I’m 8weeks out as of today and I’ve lost 39 but wondered if that was any good. I feel much better now.

Remember that each of us starts in a different place.
Even if we were to find someone the same age,gender,height,HW, and SW, you STILL wouldn’t be able to compare yourself because there are so many many complicated factors and biological systems involved with weight gain and weight loss.
I guess about the only people who could compare themselves would be identical twins, and even that could be dangerous.

As of today I’ve lost 88 pounds PO and my surgery was 2-6-19.
I know many in my February group who’ve blown me out of the Water in number of pounds lost, but I’m less than 4 pounds from GW and couldn’t be happier with my progress.
My progress was “slow,and steady”, but I’m almost there.
I won’t quite hit GW by Saturday, and the story of this entire process for me has been falling short of monthly weight loss goals (I think in the 8 months PO, I’ve only hit a goal on time just ONCE) but I’m going to keep plugging away and working the plan.

Guys, this is a marathon, not a sprint bc it is something that will have to be managed for the REST OF OUR LIVES.

Here is my progress report.
Yes,there was a few week period of complete free-fall right after surgery and then slow and steady thereafter

You are doing great. I was at 203 post op and have only lost 19 lbs at 6 weeks. I’m 5 feet tall. I was doing ok until the purée phase. Keep up the great work.

Thanks for posting. I was sleeved 9/30 and have had a few stalls. And now on my second stall. It’s so frustrating and I don’t understand it.

Current weight is 240.

Surgery date was 7-18-19

I’m in the pre-op phase and I’d be tinkled pink if I lost 45lbs in 2 months doing all those yo-yo diets . Just remember how hard it was to drop weight before surgery. (I’m probably going to need to remind myself of this too)
