No change this week.
CW: 210

I stalled for 3 weeks straight from week 2-5 and and I felt like I was going crazy! My body changed a lot, though, and my clothes all got so loose. Finally started losing again last week. Stick with it and hide the scale! Your body's getting used to a lot of changes

Hello Everyone, I'm new to this site, had my surgery on July 30th 2014. I was 207llbs and now I'm at 174llbs ! It has been tough, The first few days was not a good time I must say, but each day gets a little better, in two weeks I can start working out and I'm really hoping this helps with some of the depression. And heartburn wow ,,, I thought that was bad when I was pregnant , oh no it has been like 10 times worse. Now on prescription medication so hoping this will get better with time. I still cannot eat much and I do have a hard time with eating as much Protein as the doctor would like for me too. I love Water and was use to drinking about 128 Oz a day. So that is what I miss the most. :-) A friend referred me to this site because on days I really get depressed, not sure why but I do. So reading everyone stories does help. Thanks for listening.

@@Susan11803 Thanks!

Today has been a good day. I am now able to realize the point when I should stop eating. I'm not always happy to stop eating, as my brain is used to me shoveling more into my mouth. However, it's nice to know when to stop.
I think I'm finally getting all my liquids in during the day. For awhile there I was worried about not peeing for about 10 hours at a time.
I've been able to move my bra hooks over 2 hooks!!!
And the biggest thing that makes me happy is my BMI has moved from the 40s to the 30s...the high 30s, but hey!!! I'm still happy about that.
Have my first party to go to tonight. It's going to be a small group who will notice I may not be eating the same. Trying to figure out what to take and how to handle it. It'll be ok, though.

Still possible to hop in this challenge??

Down 30+ pounds at 10 weeks post op! I haven't weighed myself in almost a month????

Drum roll please.... I am ecstatic to announce that today I weighed in at 199!! It's been about a good 30 years since I had been under the 200's!! I was sleeved almost 4 months ago, have lost as of today a total of 55 lbs and feel AMAZING!!!! I want to thank God for giving me the courage to get WLS, my amazing surgeon, Dr. Goyal and his team from NJ Bariatric Center and my super supportive friends!! 34 lbs more to goal! YESSSSS!!!!!! I am sooo happy!!

Only weigh once a month...... It's very liberating!

If you're having trouble stomaching the pre-op Protein Shakes, try blending the shake with ice in a blender. Fuller consistency and it is more like a smoothie. Plus, ice keeps you hydrated!

When you stop being afraid to put your jeans in the dryer.

When your collar bones come out of hiding

When you can fit in a swing at the park.

When you donate clothes that are too big instead of too small

When you can easily give yourself a full pedicure.

You can answer, "Either is fine with me.", when asked, "Would you like a table or a booth?"

Your old belt now goes 1 1/2 times around your waist.
