Do not compare your progress to others. We're all on a unique journey. No one else has your combination of hormones/history/age/metabolism/stress/etc. Also, be prepared for stalls. They happen and it sucks. Take your measurements before surgery and regularly thereafter so that when weight loss stalls, you can still see the progress you're making. (Yes, you can lose inches even when the scale doesn't move!) Find some buddies who have surgery around the same time as you. It is great having people to talk with who are at the same stage in the process that you are.

BEST WAY TO BREAK A STALL STOP WEIGHING YOURSELF LOL THROW THE SCALE OUT THE WINDOW IT WILL PASS AS LONG AS YOU FOLLOW YOUR PROGRAM

Two weeks in liquid diet.... I am missing all food! So tired of the few things I can have.

Those are all such good healthy foods. Why can't you eat them? (Or are you still in a soft food phase?) Sent from my SM-T820 using BariatricPal mobile app

How the heck can I lose so slow when I'm only eating a fraction of what i was before? It just baffles me. So, I upped my calories and ate 800 as opposed to my normal 600 and gained a lb. Man, this is screwing with me. I wish I was like the others consistently losing each day. Sent from my SM-G973U using BariatricPal mobile app

I just take Centrum Silver. Twice a day.

not long emma and you can have it again and what a perfect food to be able to have after!

Unless the person is someone close to me and I can tell they really were sincere and meant well with the statement, I don't engage. In my case, I'm a food addict - it's like telling an alcoholic to just stop drinking. No 💩 Sherlock 🙄

Weight loss seems to be such a controversial subject. People are overly opinionated. I'm not and I don't want to be the spokesman for bariatrics. I don't feel the need to educate anyone on WLS. They can do their own research. Don't invest time in negative people. Keep life simple.
