The side by side are 25lbs (left) and 50lbs (right) lost.

The single shot is me today. Four months since I started my pre op diet. I am exactly 300.0lbs and 85lbs down.

I was thinking the exact same thing @@QueenOfTheTamazons, those other threads are huge. They really should be restricted to the current year to keep the content current.
My before picture is me at my biggest. I don't remember exactly how much it was, but I know it was over 330:

And this is from a few months ago:

It's too damn cold in the gym to wear a tank top nowadays! I'll have to take a few new ones in the spring.

I don't get all the negativity I see here on this site....
( Yes I quietly read a post a day or two ago that just stayed on my mind...)
I kept strolling because I don't care to go back and forth with ppl it's not my style. I feel how I feel and I understand ppl will always have disagreements. But in the future if a person is doing good and post a before and after pic, don't put them down! If it's a Troll.... well it sucks to be them : ( Seriously how messed up must their life be to troll a WLS website! And if it's an actually individual your discouraging them and others reading these comments from posting their success... You don't have to call BS anytime you feel that's what it is, just Ignore Them really it's not that hard and keep strolling because you truly don't know!!! But it made me feel like what if it were me??? Depending on the season my skin my be darker and my hair is always different and my body shape is not like everyone else. I hold my weight very well people don't believe that I'm as heavy as the scale says. So if I post that I lost 40 in 4 weeks or ever hey that's me . We are all different!
This site should be to uplift ppl not to tear them down! Grow the HECK UP!!!!( I wanted to say Hell so bad but anyway)
Guess What.... You don't have to call out BS if you see it you CAN ignore it....
No matter what a person post on here it does not personally affect YOU!!!! SO WHAT if he/or she a LIAR, SO What if he/or she a Troll!!!
And to all the Beautiful People Working Hard to Accomplish your Dreams....
KEEP PUSHING DON'T ALLOW ANYONE TO DULL YOUR SHINE!
Love you all
P.S. I will not reply to any negative comments I will show you how to ignore ppl....

Thank you. This website is supposed to be support group but unfortunately is filled with bunch of haters and negative people. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

So often people in our lives do not want us to succeed because that changes the dynamics of your relationship. Cut the people loose that refuse to uplift you. This change is hard enough without someone holding you back and sabotaging your every move. You deserve a good man. Remove the bad people to make room for the good

What a cruel jerk! That's awful. Glad you ditched the bum. Let some skank have his sorry ass and STDs.

Hello everyone, Warning beware of jealous people in your life. So my now ex but also my daughters father has as I feel always tried to sabotage me. I gained close to 100 pounds in the last 6 years since I've been with him had a baby got super comfortable and let myself go. Well since my surgery and before he was never with my lifestyle change he would bring fast food and candy into the house, he didn't work out with me on a regular basis (and mind u he is athletic and a boxer) there was no genuine encouragement nor support. He was and is a serial cheater. He told a girl he cheated on me with about me getting the surgery before i even had it and just recently told another woman i believed to be a friend but he was sleeping with her too that I had the surgery and now I think i'm better than ppl and they laughed about how I'm still big and my body gone be a mess (I seen the messages) the disrespect is at an all time high. Bottom line is I am better than what they obviously thought of me. This change has been the best thing that has ever happened to me, I'm happy about life again, I see the changes in me mentally, spiritually, and physically. I'm looking forward to the future and learning not to settle or accept anything I'm discovering my worth and now I'm glad I can close that chapter in my life and looking forward to my journey and finding someone new that sees the Goddess in me
down 83 lbs and not stopping

Yes! I passed my surgeon's gw some time ago. My initial gw was to be in the healthy BMI range, now I'm working on being 10-12 lbs smaller so I am not at the high end of healthy BMI ranges.

I am 8 weeks out now. At my 10 day follow up, I'd lost 22 lbs. Then shortly after that, I stalled for 20 days. I was doing everything right so I understand your frustration. However, after that 20 days, the lbs started melting away. I'm now at a 38 lb. loss, but have again been stalled for almost two weeks. I think this is just the way it works. And even though I've been stalled for 2 weeks, my clothes feel looser and people keep telling me I look like I've lost more weight. Sometimes, even when we don't see the scale move, change is happening. Try to hang in there and be patient. You will see the weight come off.

Like many others have said, this is normal.
Another thing to remember is that for a little while after surgery your hormones are going crazy and you will very likely have mood swings. Mine got crazy I felt like I was loosing my mind! Took several months for my mood swings to mellow. The mood swings affect how one sees the situation too.
You could be going through some hormone dumps or mood swings.
Practice patience, step back and give yourself sometime. Things won't be the same in a few more weeks.
All the best

I got a PM from OP complaining that I made her feel like <whatever curse word she used>. All because I told her the 3 week stall was normal and her Dr should have explained her surgery to her better.
THIS IS WHY VETS DO NOT BOTHER POSTING HERE ANYMORE.

@@White Sale
You and like everyone else who ever had surgery.
Chill out, stop weighing yourself.
Did your Dr even talk to you about surgery? My Dr told me the whole point of the first month is to heal, not lose weight and if I didn't lose any weight the first month it didn't matter. Your body is using all of its energy to try and heal from losing most of an organ, it doesn't care about your weight loss. My Dr sat and thoroughly explained this to me.
18 months later I am down 177 pounds.
Chill, goodness.

Great work!!! ????
