Congratulations!!

I am sitting at 3 1/2 months and OMG yes stalls happen... right now im struggling to hit a major milestone and am fustrated because im only loosing ounces instead of pounds... big differance that is affecting me is water weight... its getting warm outside here so im drinking way more water and unsweet tea then i have so far.. .the water weight is slowling me down but im sure my body will get back into the groove as soon as it balances out. Hang in there!

I am a few days shy of the two month mark... i am down 76 pounds so far

my drs office did the same thing... drove me flipping NUTS!!!

myfitnesspal.com my user name is MrsKTillman look me up i will be happy to add you to my friends list:) MFP also has a VSG'er group for support

your having "buyers remorse" its perfectly NORMAL... My surgery was 12/28, i was also in the hospital for 4 days, and i went threw the SAME thing... i would cook for my family and CRY over scalloped tators and Ham... i was a mess. Im just starting to get past that point. at just past three weeks out my foods have more variety and i KNOW now that i cant tolerate most of what smells so good anyway. the trick is to find what you can eat.. and enjoy it! Hang in there... it will get better.. promise:)

Im sorry for your sister... but your "scare tatic" should be to warn people to research the Docs they choose... what happened to your sister sounds like Malpratice to me... I hope you got a good attorney. People that make this choice usualy do TONS of searching for the right Docs, the right Hospitals. It sounds like your sister made a bad choice and is now paying for it... THAT is the message you should be telling people about.

I am waiting for the next week to be over... i even told myself im not going to step on the scale for a few days ( trying for a week but yeah.. that wont happen) if WE can push threw this we will be fine! ps... today wasnt as hard as i thought it would be... even the waitress felt sorry for me.. but i walked out of it with a new drink... the sweet but very very verrrrrry thin waitress who felt sorry for me added a half of an orange to my iced tea.. OMG it was great!!!!! if your an iced tea person.. you gotta try it. she thought i might enjoy the fresh orange taste... and she was right!

i have given up on pants and just wear skirts. but i have the same issue with shirts... i have lost 55 pounds and dont think my size has gone down overall.. because every thing is so differant. one think i have noticed... this morning when i got dressed i had to toss out my favorite undies... they FELL off my ass when i stood up.... sometimes its the little things:)

Your not alone in "hating this" right now... im 15 days post op.. and today i had the JOY of sitting at buffalo wild wings and watching my family eat a huge lunch in front of me... i managed to do it without crying.. so i thought i got an A+. And no.. i didnt have an option other then sitting in the freezing cold car while they ate, we were on a family outting and i was stuck with it. Letting go of the desire to eat and the head cravings are really hard... this 2-3 week stage doenst help any either.. i feal fine.. im fighting with what i can and cant eat..the scale is stalling because im adding more calories back into my diet.... and i have NEVER done well with things i CANT have ... it has nothing to do with knowing what i was getting into or anything else.. i think its a normal part of the struggle for alot of us. and before anyone says anything snarky to me... please remember that im POST op... emotional... fighting head hunger that is telling me i would LOVE large burger (weather i could eat it or not doesnt matter i still want it) hating nasty tasting protien whey... and probely PMS'ing.... and really just venting so Ally knows she isnt alone right now.... if you cant say anything helpfull... dont say anything at all.

"Hey, I could take her!" LMAO... thanks i needed a good laugh today... im 2-3 weeks right now also... and i had that SAME thought... my skinny mom was eating a turkey sandwich in front of me... she alsmot didnt survive it.

12/28 down 33 pounds ince surgery... 55 total... and yes.. im a stall too... im hoping it breaks tomorow. i also upped my calories to the 600 range and the loosing stopped.

Tell her "thank you for your concerns, i appriecate your support" and then do what your heart tells you to do. as long as your Dr doesnt think your too thin or unhealthy... go for it. if your mom or anyone brings it up again... just remind them that you dont go around telling them what they should weight.
