84 pounds since the start, 78 since surgery November 1st. 18 pounds to my goal. Docs goal is 28 more pounds, idk about that. I know I loose SLOW. Long journey but I THINK I'm finally gaining control of this thing.

Thank you!

Did you have the skin removal surgery yet? How did it go? I believe I will be getting mine in December.

Went to my 6 month followup yesterday. Doc says at my 1 year appointment, I should be ready for skin removal surgery. Wondering if anyone has had skin removal surgery, the process and recovering or know of anyone??

I can understand.

Surgery was November 1st. 62 pounds lost in total, 55 since surgery, 35 pounds to goal. Unfortunately in a stall now.

How many times have you stalled and how long were they? I'm five months in and I'm in a three week stall, it 's the third or fourth time the scale hasn't moved but for one to two pounds. I've lost 55 pounds since surgery and I'm supposed to lose 17-20 pounds by my doc appointment next month and I'm freaking out.

I will do my best to try to get my mind off of weighing because it sends me in to panic mode. Thank you.

I don't understand what is happening... I exercise 3 or more times a week. I'm getting in the fluids and protein and I swear I've had 2-3, 2 or more week stalls in a row and I have no clue why. I'm supposed to lose 17 more pounds when I see my surgeon for my 6 month check-in and at this pace, I don't see that happening.

My doctor wants me to get to a max weight of 200 pounds. I am currently at 240, 6'1 and feel 200 is too low. I feel my goal should be 220. Should I just wait til I get to 220 and see how I feel? Has anyone else faced this slight disagreement with their surgeon?

My doctor says I should lose 30-35 pounds by my May appointment. I was losing at a fast pace then bam, SLOW. That appointment was more than a month ago and I've lost only 7 pounds. I'm working out, drinking water and still SLOW LOSS! I'm freaking out.

Weighed this morning and was 249.8. I know it's silly but that huge to me! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hello, Sleeve date November 1st. 50 since pre-liquid diet, almost 44 pounds since surgery. I just follow the doctors orders and be mindful of the reasons I went through the surgery and how much work it was to get approved.

Thanks guys! I will check Sam's and Amazon.

I'm 12 weeks in and really am just now starting to get "cravings". Anyone one have a suggestion on a potato chip/salty substitute?

I'm on week 12 and I'll tell you, it doesn't feel good to be doing everything you're supposed to and not move. It's very discouraging.

I like to to treat myself with small gifts like a cute outfit or maybe a MAC lipstick:)

I've read several posts that say don't weigh and stalls are normal...Now that I'm at a stall, I'm worried. How do you not worry? This journey is so delicate.

My doctor was happy with my progress of losing 40 pounds since surgery but is urging me to add more Protein through a few more small meals. That's hard, any suggestions? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I just wondered. My nut says between 30-40g carbs. The cereal is 39. Haven't tried it but have craved cereal, something other than a boiled egg or Protein shake. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Can you tolerate Cereal? If so, what cereals do you eat? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I had surgery 11/1 and I am down 35 pounds since surgery. I feel the same. I can't see the difference in there. The good news is we're losing. Hang in there!

After a few failed attempts on my own working out, my doctor thinks I'm ready to get in the gym. I do walk everyday and am consistently losing but I think I can do better. I'm considering getting a personal trainer. Is or has anyone used one? Good or bad experience? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
