ShilohD I can't wait for that to happen to me!!!! I'm 303lbs and just have one more weigh-in this coming Saturday before scheduling my surgery. I haven't seen 250lbs in about 20 years and haven't seen under 200lbs in about 30years. I will lose my shit the day I enter Onederland! For sure lol!!!

I hope Saturday will be your day! You deserve it! Don't lose faith! This is gonna work!

I feel your joy and congrats[emoji106]🏾 I have a similar experience as you I just couldn't break the 300 lb mark before surgery I weighed 330 lbs. I had surgery on February 20th in five weeks I lost 37lbs. But now I'm stuck in a plateau! I'm not sure when I'm going to see the scale change again the first four weeks each day I was a pound or 2 lighter but this past week and a half no change. Everyday I weight myself now it's the same. I am praying now to get out of the 290's and enter into the 280's and beyond. Anybody has advice on the Plateau and how to jump start the weight lost again? I wanna keep the happy dance going too[emoji847]

I know to some, this might even seem silly... but for several years, I've been over 300 lbs. Before I even decided on this route, I'd been trying every damn diet i could think of to lose weight. I remember 3 times, or got down to the verge of getting under 300 lbs. But I never could quite tip the scale. I'd teeter totter on the edge, but never made it under.
The day I started the pre-op diet, I was 333.6 lbs. March 6th, the day of surgery, I was 310.2
Today, I weighed, and I am 298.0
I realize it's just 35 lbs and I still have a long road, but I cried. I haven't seen less than 300 lbs on the scale in over 3 years.
I'm so grateful. For the first time, I actually feel like I got this. And I am so glad for this app. I just had to share my joy with someone. I felt like I was about to pop.




Congrats!!! Totally. It silly- you're doing it!!!!

Apparently there's a 3 week stall. Just keep doing the Protein and you'll see movement on the scale. I was shocked that I hit a plateau with as little as I was eating- and exercising - but it's normal.

That is a great accomplishment! Don't ever think reaching a goal is silly. All that matters is that you are happy with your progress. Congratulations and up the good work!

This is how I feel! Always teetered between 194-200. I'll cry when I see 189, congrats!

Thanks! I'm actually a bit stunned at how fast it's coming off. My husband looked at me yesterday and started laughing ( now, he has always told me he loves me regardless of my size.)

When I asked him why he was laughing, he told me, he could tell I was really losing weight because for the first time in a LONG time my breasts stuck out further than my stomach. I had to start laughing too, because it was true. I looked down at myself and my stomach was not visible...

You notice the craziest things... that may have been TOO MUCH INFO.... but I thought it was funny.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
