I lost 6 pounds in August. All by myself! I did have a fill, but i don't notice any difference ... so that means the 6 pounds I lost this month were all on my own! I am so happy. This really motivates me because if I can lose six pounds all by myself, imagine how much I will lose with my next fill ... maybe 8 pounds! I can't believe I'm losing weight. And I can't believe how happy I am.

I wanted to FINALLY post a pic. The before picture is a couple days after surgery...probably about 300 pounds. In progress photo is my current picture (on my way to the gym) at 208. I am 5'6" My highest weight was 311 before surgery, but got down to 298 on my 1 week liquid diet for surgery day.

You sound depressed. Talk to someone about it, like your PCP. Consider some counseling. Basically you have two choices: accept the current situation, or change it. (remember, accepting something doesn't mean you have to like it.) This process requires a good chunk of patience, both before and after. Good Luck!

I am one month out today. My stall began last week. My weight has been hovering between 203 and 203.5 this past week. I haven't weighed less than 204 in 3 years. I am thinking this weight is a set point. I am sure there will be other set points where a stall will happen too. It is very frustrating because I am walking and hardly eating anything. I know that I am still losing because my clothes are looser. I hope by this next week, the stall will break through and go below the 200 mark. Wishing really hard!

Beautiful!! Congratulations & thanks for sharing!

They might not notice... They might notice but are afraid to say anything... No worries, you do this for you. Me, I have the opposite problem. I've lost 80+ pounds and I still seem to look the same to me despite what others say...

Thanks for posting your day-4 post-op update. I plan on doing the 8oz./hr. shake routine and have Unjury chicken and WonderSlim chicken soups to balance out the shakes. I also have the Unjury unflavored to boost over the counter diet foods and supercharge sugar-free Jello. DietController software is my food/nutritional log that I use as my diet speedometer and keep track of what I am eating and managing my protein drinks. Thanks again and please keep posting updates because they help pre and post surgery bloggers. Have a great Labor Day but avoid the BBQ!

Phew... you know i had look after reading that title Very nice blog !!
