I had surgery 26 nov 2012, I went in at 218 and today 6 Aug 1 am at 175. I have been at 175 for 3 months. It's discouraging but the weight I am at today was always the weight I maintained or would make a goal weight. I hope it moves. My goal is 155.

Well I am still only at 184. surgery was 26 Nov. Been going through alot of stress so I don't know if I am holding on weight because of that....Going through a divorce....

Oh, I am super slow too...I was at 188 (29lbs down) and I got up the other morning and I was at 190...WTF....I get tired of looking a the number on the scale but it is what makes my day...At times, I feel that paying almost 16k to lose weight at this slow of a pace is riduculous...I really expected to be atleast 180-185 by now.....I am 3 months post op and stated at 217...Is that wanting too much...I am praying to be at 185 by the end of this mon the month....lower will be nice.....REAL NICE!

Don't know whats going on...Either my scale is not calibrated or I am losing my damn mind....Clothes that I could not even get in a little bit are too big for me BUT my weight has not moved any in over 3 weeks....I am really thinking my scale is jacked up BUT IDK....I go back to the doc on 7 Mar....I'll wait until then....I started at a size 18 and now about a 12...some 14's...My starting weight was 217 and I have been up and down 191 for 3 weeks....BUT like I said...I tried on a specific pair o pants 3 weeks ago and they were a no go....not by just a little either...tonight, they are too big....IDK.....

I am right there with you! my weight loss is extremely slow by others standards. It seems like my scale will not budge for like 14 days and then overnight there is a loss of 2lbs. then another stall for another week or so' date=' then a loss of 1.5lbs. when you add it all up I have only lost to date approx. 21lbs since date of surgery which was 11/12/12. I'm just plugging away at it and now I know that it will take me much longer to reach my goal of 150lbs than other folks - so I have accepted it and try to feel happy with my little successes...do you feel better now that you know you are not alone [/quote']

I am in a similar boat and till am.

I told my boss and she felt a need to share it with e higher ups. Every now and then she say things like "can you eat that" or can you eat all of that and she does it n the front of others. Oh, I'm bout to get with her.... I actually never intended for the higher ups to know. I only told her to ensure that so done at work was aware of me having a medical procedure. Not that I had to. Only a handful of people know BUT I actually HATE that anyone outside of my house knows. I'm proud of my decision.

I am in the same boat...I am 10 weeks out and just at 25lbs as of today. I have had some stalls.....One lasted from 6 Dec to 28 Dec and I have had others.....I am losing alot of inches....I am 5'4 and I started at 217. My doc did tell me I'd lose slower BUT I thought I'd atleast be down 30lbs by 1 Feb....My surgery was on 26 Nov. I do find that the more Water I drink the better I do...IDK....

I am def losing slow. 28 Jan will be 10 weeks and I have lost 25 pounds.....I started at 217 at 5'4 but still slow compared to others I have talked to at the same or lower weight...

I guess I should pay more attention to what I am eating too. In

10 weeks I expected to be down ATLEAST 30 lbs. Really hoping to be at 150 by the 1 Jun. It seem so unrealistic with my weightloss moving so slow. I'm 194 now (for the second day)....Started at 217....I'm glad its moving but when I set out to pay over $15000 cash, I really thought this was going to be faster. I don't regret it BUT I guess I expected the weight to come off faster. My doctor asked, "If you had gained 20+ pounds in 8 weeks you would think that was alot.....so why with you losing that much in that time do you think its not enough.....The simple answer...well because I

paid $15000 dollars expecting to lose it a little faster....

How much exercise are yall doing? Are you all drinking all of your Water everyday....The scale started moving again this morning so I'll see how far I'll go before it stop....

WOW..ALOT OF YOU ARE DOING GOOD....25- 40LBS DOWN IN 3 MONTHS WOW.......I STARTED AT 217 AND STILL AT 195 TODAY....I KNOW THE INCHES ARE COMING OFF BUT I AM VERY FRUSTRATED STILL...I WEIGHED THIS MORNING AFTER WAITING A WEEK AND TODAY I AM STILL AT 195....

My weight is coming off so freaking slow........21 pounds in 7 weeks....Tired of seeing 196 on the scale....I hit a stall on 6 Dec and it stayed until 27 Dec, then moved to 196, then a period...My first in 11 months...and what came with it...another stall....so I sit here today still at 196....Is anyone else moving so slow?

I am a very frustrated low BMIer....I have been stalled since 8 Dec....Tracked it back to the day I came off liquids....ugggh...I got sleeved on 26 Nov...I've only lost 14 pounds....the scale is going between 203 and 204 but it was at one time 202.....I am frustrated...I started at 216 and I am 5'4...so I just needed to lose 50-60lbs.....I am so depressed with not losing anything since 8 Dec...I don't always get my Water and Protein but I am well under 500-7-- calories and that is being generous.....

Miralax working well for the past two days on the constipation...thanks

I am doing great...No problems other than a 20 day (so far) stall....

Hi love just checking in to see how your surgery went? Let us know we are here to support you all the way!

I am almost 4 weeks post op and I haven't lost anything since 8 August. The scale has fluctuated between 202 and 204 since 8 August. It is very frustrating and discouraging to say the least. I started at 216, so to only lose 12 pound the first month is certainly not what I expected......I am feeling very down with this....

Never been constipated like this before......This is truly the worst part of this for me....I am only 3 weeks post op......Has anyone tried enemas....I heard an oil based enema will get you going...IDK.....gotta do something......I haven't tried the miralax or MOM...maybe I'll try today....I take two Fibercons a day and that is not even helping a little....Took 4 this morning......hmmmm, we will see........ugggghhh

Everyone is different....I did 2 Protein shakes during the day and had a Churches chicken Thigh and a pepper for dinner EVERY SINGLE DAY leading up to my surgery to include the night before....Well, the night before I had 2.....Don't kill yourself...I would have been screwed if they told me NOTHING but Protein Shakes....

I cook dinner for my son and hubby every night....I can fix from fried pork chops to fried fish and fries.....spaghetti and garlic bread, oven fried wings and all...It doesn't bother me as much as I thought......I know they didn't choose this, I did. My hubby is 6ft and 170....he's gained 9lbs in over 20 years....My son is active so I like to feed him a good meal too....If I don't cook, they will go out to eat and I don't want them doing that....I cook with olive oil and coconut oil....I use wheat noodles and I try to be a bit healthier than McDonalds...not that it makes a huge difference but it does kind of.

I guess every doc is different because I am 2 weeks post op and I came home from the hospital on day 3 eating cream of wheat, cream Soups, puddings etc....as a matter of fact, they gave it to me on the hosp....Today was my 2 week follow up and I am off of food restrictions....just eat when hungry, eat til full, chew, chew, chew and hydrate, hydrate, hydrate.....I tried puree and could not handle that....10 days post op, I tried the string cheese....I haven't been nausea once.....

Wow, these are great recipes.....I needed this...maybe it will help me get through the rest of this puree cycle.

That's crazy. I had nightly flashes and I have not had a single one since surgery. Mine were dropping sweat around 0500.

glad I found this...last night my feet were sooooo cold, then my body...hubby put the heaviest blanket on me and was heating towels in the microwave to put on my feet.....

I'm good....just a bot sore. Hubby went to get my prescriptions filled. I'm just tired. Really tired.
