Ok so Im 2 1/2 weeks postop. Ive lost 19lbs total, which is great! But I didnt think I would come to a stall so soon. Ive been stuck on the same number for a week now. I sure hope I lose this week.
Anyone get their first stall this early? If so please share and how long before you got off the stall?
TIA

Wow so nice to hear everyones successful pregnancies. Hubby and I have been trying for almost a decade. Im 1 week postop and hope a year from now we will get our miracle baby.
God bless to the new mommies-to-be!

Sorry for being late on my 11 week check-in, I was in Baltimore for the holiday weekend.
1) Height / weight starting our wls programs: 5'4" 289lbs
2) Weight day of surgery: 281
3) 11 week post op weight pounds lost/gained: 249, lost 5lbs! 40lbs total
4) Goal weight: 140
5) Your biggest success this week: I flew in the plane and for the first time the seatbelt fit comfortably and I was able to pull the strap a good 6" to tighten it. My hips didnt overlap to other seats and I was very comfy sitting in the middle seat as well! I wanted to cry cause that was such a major accomplishment to me cause I travel alot and it felt so good fitting in that seat finally!
I am also another size smaller for my tops, Im a 1X now...I was a 3X before surgery.
I have accomplished so much these past couple weeks, Im up to 2 miles of walking!
6) Your biggest struggle this week: I cant really think of one, everything has been going well for me this week.

Yes that is awesome! I had mine 4/16 and lost 8lbs preop liquid diet and 11lbs postop so a total of 19lbs. Your on the right track!!!

My competitive streak is coming out. I am participating in the BP 4th of July challenge and my goal is to get down to 190 by 4th of July. Combine that with this week's goal to start exercising regularly, I am motivated! I walked an hour on the treadmill yesterday morning ( 2.86 miles for 1 hour), lifted some weights and later in the evening, walked another 30 minutes on the treadmill. I guzzled Water all day yesterday to stay hydrated. I woke up this morning 1.7 pounds lighter! Whoot whoot! I'm now at 194.8... But I'll include those pounds in next week's check in!

Love this idea!!!!!NSVs are what it's all about!! Just went shopping!
Shirt
Before 2xl now xl
Pant size
Before 22 now 16
Bra
Before 42ddd now 38ddd
I also fit comfy in an airplane seat! Road behind someone on a motorcycle without dropping the back three inches! My office chair is way too big now! My coworkers refer to me as skinny! I'm trying to stay positive everyday. Lots to be thankful for.

1) height / weight starting our wls programs, 5'4" 289lb
2) weight day of surgery, 281
3) weight 8 week post op / pounds lost/gained: 254 (lost only 1lb cause of my period I suppose) 35lbs total!!!!
4) goal weight: 140
5) your biggest success this week: I fit into size 18 pants...being able to add "decline pushups" to my workout, I do about 130 crunches daily, walking little better.
6) your biggest struggle this week: trying to walk long distances, did like 2 blocks before my leg and back gave out but thats ok I will continue trying. Im also aiming to lose 3lbs weekly, didnt reach that goal this week I guess cause I had my period so Im hoping I will lose 3lbs for next checkin!
Don't say you CAN'T do something until YOU TRY!

Answer the ones you only know

Butterflypinup, I cant even lie I read your post yesterday and I started to reply but I couldnt figure out what to say to you. I feel for you, we all went thru our own obstacles with this surgery but I have to be honest with you...how is it possible that you vomit everyday? Have you told your Dr, cause this cant be normal. Its been almost 2 months since surgery and nausea and vomit shouldnt even be in the picture anymore. I have you in my prayers and I hope you start to feel better and be able to eat more solids. I hope you are seeing your Dr soon for another follow up. Please keep us posted. I know its hard to see it now but there is a light at the end of the tunnel for you.

Yes it will get better. I am 7 1/2 weeks post op. Sometimes Im just not hungry I can skip a meal but I dont. We need all the nutrients we can get. So just remember get your Protein and Water in everyday even if your not hungry.
Good Luck!

Ok so Saturday's dinner with hubby and friends was awesome! I ordered a burger and only ate 1/4 of it and half a cheesestick! It was so yummy and I didnt gain an ounce from it. So as u can see it is true we will be able to eat those favorite foods every once in a while. Its just all about Portion Control. We were there for 3 hours so I was able to munch on like 3 fries as well and thats it. My drink was a tall ice cold glass of water! LOL I told my 2 besties to take a drink for me.
Anyone had a nice going out to eat treat lately, if so what did you eat?

So, today hubby and I are getting together with our close friends and going out to dinner. They all know about my surgery and very supportive. Im looking forward to actually dressing up nice for the first time in a long time. Im also contemplating if I should even order my own dish, given that I will only eat a few bites anyway lol
Yesterday I tried steak for the first time it was yummy and I got full with just 3 bites.

These are the mini crust less quiches or egg bites I told you about.....These are turkey sausage, swiss, and sautéed mushrooms. So far these are my favorite. When I think I can tolerate spinach I'm going to do feta and spinach. Pack them in snack bags in individual servings of two and quick 10 secs in microwave and quick Breakfast on the go! With 3 kids, these have been so helpful!

Yes it will be tough the first couple of weeks but each day gets easier. I am 5 weeks postop and I am eating normal foods now, small portions of course and I get full with small amounts. I dont feel like Im starving and I dont regret the surgery not one bit. The best advice I can give you after you do the surgery is 3 main things, Water, Protein and walk walk walk. You will have alot of gas and walking helps alot.
Good Luck!

SO GREAT!! Thanks for the update!

Awesome! Thanks for the update! I'm right there with you--I was stalled for about 2 weeks, then just lost 2 lbs. this week. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a bigger loss next week!
