When a patient looks at you says "Omg you are so pretty, and you've lost weight."

I have been in a stall for 3.5 weeks now. But I know it will end and I will start losing again. Keep doing what you are doing and you will be fine.

I will say, since my surgery I have a lot less appetite, but my cravings are still there. I made dinner for our family on Friday night. One of my favorites, fried chicken, potato salad and baked beans. I cheated.... I tried to eat a wing... I chewed and chewed and chewed and then I slowly swallowed.... Needless to say I was uncomfortable until I forced myself to purge. I promise I won't do that again. My grilled chicken will wait until I can eat it, not any sooner.

Good job ladies. I too am losing my pants but I refuse to buy news ones yet.

As of today I have lost a total of 17.5 lbs. tomorrow marks week 2. I have been keeping track of my inches and I can tell you I have lost anywhere from 0.5 to 2 inches in various places. I measured my neck, upper and lower legs,paper and lower arms, bust, under bust, waist, gut and buttocks. I am so stoked at this point. I think I am in my first stall. I have only lost a pound in the last two days, but I know I will return to weight loss.

I had mine on Monday. I am recovering well at home. Lost 9.5 lbs since Monday morning. I know it's mostly fluids I've list but it's a start.

That's great. Today is my third day post op. I am doing ok. Having a little trouble trying to meet my nutritional needs but I'm getting there. I have lost 9.5 lbs as of this morning. Hope you are doing ok.

I'm home now. Very sore, but getting thru it. Surgery went well. I have lost 9.5 lbs already, but that is to be expected. Good luck everyone.

My surgery is tomorrow the 6th. In Sonoma California

Thank you Stephh.

OMG Monday is right around the corner. So Excited... Got to clean out the cupboards, fridge and freezer.... Set up my gym down stairs.... Get ready to donate my first batch of clothes. This is all I can think about. Good Luck everyone, I will be posting on Monday and there after. I will be posting pictures, if you want to follow my success.
