in the same boat i try not to pay too much attention to the scale tho.. i do weekly measurement and i continue to lose inches!

Hi,
I am 11 weeks out from surgery. I have lost 44 lbs However, I have not lost any weight in 2 weeks.
Suggestions?
I also find myself eating the same foods....lots of protien shakes and greek yogurt.
Suggestions on what to eat?
Thanks,

I ate some club crackers and humus and Cottage cheese as well.
I also had a 2 week stall at the same time. Your body has to readjust to all the weight lost. Then all of a sudden it will be ready for another drop and the weight will fall of again. You will have stalls all throughout. Very normal.
Keep positive a don't forget to measure once a week so the stalls don't discourage you as much

On my list is:
A cruise
Ride rides at an amusement park with my grandson
A train ride out west
A pair of wranglers and a pair of red cowboy boots!
And much much more!
Love love love this thread!

At the 100 lb mark I'd like to:
Get a tattoo
Have budoir photos taken for my hubby
Zipline (I'm doing this on Sunday even though I'm a bit early because the opportunity presented itself)

Now that I am sleeved and have lost close to 30 lbs. I have a ton on my bucket list but my first is to learn to surf!

So my bucket list was pretty boring and simple before I even thought I would be able to lose weight! I hoped for common things like:
Getting out of debut Advance in my career get my dream car blah blah blah But now that I have started dropping some lbs I feel inspired and I now dream of doing sooo much more like:
Finally learn to swim (i was never comfortable enough to wear a bathing suit or want someone to have to carry my fat behind out of the Water if I drowned) I want to take a pole dancing class Travel overseas (not seat belt extension) run a marathon ride a rollercoaster (before I could never fit into the seats of the seat belts were too small) My list goes on and on with each passing day
So what are you dying to do before you die now that you have started or completed your weight loss journey?

Im the same way! So far I lost about 60 lbs and I feel like I dont see any difference.. even some of my old clothes still fit me. So in my head I see that I can still wear a 18 and it fits so I know im still big!

Take that scale out back and hit it with a sledge hammer...This is not about numbers hun. This is about getting healthy and changing the way you see food...numbers can really play with your head as you well know. Don't forget we are women and we go up and down like yo yo's .So if you are following numbers you will get discouraged....
I know I am different from most people on here. I am 17 months out and never experienced a stall. Why? Because I have only weighed myself maybe 5 or 6 times. Most of the time it has been at my doctors office... I have faith in what I am doing and follow the program. And it works for me.....I know I've lost by my clothes the way I feel. Things like that....
I don't know why I chose to do it this way. Probably when I get to maintenance I will weigh once a week...But for now...Nope I love the adventure more then the numbers...

I was sleeved April 7th and dropped 23 lbs VERY fast. Then nothing. I kept reading about the three week stall and just tried to believe that it would start up again, but I was getting very discouraged. I was weighing everyday and would be anywhere from 249 to 251. This past weekend I went out of town so I couldn't weigh (and didn't need to). I just focused on Protein and fluids and did A LOT of walking. I weighed this morning - 242! Hallelujah!!!

My prayers have been answered!!! I received a phone call this morning and surgery is scheduled for May 27th. They were able to get me in before my new insurance plan kicked in and I would have had to pay my deductable!!! So excited!!!

Hope you get your surgery date soon! We with bcbs of wny (medicaid based products) have to wait for the green light from ny to let ecmc take our insurances.... So even though I was recently approved, I'm on a waiting list until this happens (as others are before me). But I'm hoping/praying for a July surgery... *fingers crossed*

I am praying tht is the case so I don't have to come up with the money! She told with dr carauna taking over cavaretta surgeries a sweat not there were no dates available! Keep your fingers crossed!

First things is realize you are human and mistakes will happen, don't get down and especially don't let it convince you to give up. You didn't get to this point over night and you can't fix it overnight. We all had cheats of some sort preop and postop but the important thing is to realize your mistakes and learn from them. Good Luck, and stay positive.

No, sorry I don't have that. I have IHA, which I did find out I was approved!!! Waiting for a surgery date! I wanted to have it in May seeing I have high deductable which I have already met. Mu plan restarts June 1st. My very first appt I told them about the time crunch and then dr caravetta shattered his ankle. I know it is unseen circumstances but Jackie called me the other dY and told me that they wouldn't be booking me till June! So now I will have to pay my family deductAble to have the surgery! I was not too happy!

I started to see it around 3 months but if you get ur Protein in it will stop my hair has actually grown over the last 4 months longer than it's been in years so keep in mind protein is key good luck

You look amazing!!! Truly an inspiration!!

now

I'm sorry about your loss, but you are in excellent company! I really started to notice the loss at 2 months. No clumps, but it was thin to begin with. There are 2 freckles showing through the top of my scalp, and I'm rocking a comb-over to hide them. Yikes! On the positive ride, people are too entranced with my cute butt to notice!:-) hee hee!
