Only 1lb a week??? What exactly were your expectations? What will you do when you stall? I average 2lb a week but there are times when I don't lose at all. It's all about acceptance and understanding realities. I would embrace every loss but that's me

4 months out and nothing tastes good. It has just gotten worse for me, not better

Are you happy with the surgeon? You need to do what's best for you. Personally I only met with the nutritionist once. If I didn't get along with her I would have stayed because my surgeon is one of the best. Gl!

I've been at a stall for 4 weeks. I'm 9 months out. At least I haven't gained anything lol but it's frustrating. This is the longest I've experienced and part of me feels I'm not going to lose another pound!!!

I would focus on you. I've been on my own since I was 16. My life my life's decisions not my family. Everyone is entitled to their opinion but you are your own person. You are allowed yours especially when you are attempting to improve your life. Focus on your decision and just allow them to be family. Period. They have no room in your life's destiny. Sounds like they need some hobbies one that doesn't include you if they are coming form negativity. I made the decision for my surgery and only told my primary dr. And my boyfriend. It wasn't anyone else's business.

Be grateful. I vomited for over 4 months.

It does. I had to force myself for 5 months. It does change and becomes easier with time. Continue to be diligent and get all your Protein and fluids in.

In life we always compare and try to establish a baseline. That is normal. Your body does need to heal and acclimate. I feel like I'm never going to lose another pound after this stall but it's about compliance and acceptance and patience.

Typically I lose 2lb a week but it varies. I've been at a stall for 3 weeks currently. You are doing just fine.

Thank you. I've been pondering this to the death over this and the one thing that is off where he is concerned is I have a very close friend who is an nfl player. He knows I primarily have male friends always have. I'm the only girl and youngest of 3 brothers. Tomboy through and through. Out of no where he continued to be aggressive where this friend is concerned. Wanting me to eliminate him from my life. That is hysterical to me. No one not even him can dictate who will be my friend. Maybe it's because my friend is number one in his position in the NFL. Seems like jealousy to me. I was willing to discuss so we could move past this. He said no. So now I'm left with the strong feeling I've been duped. He has been with me at my heaviest, encouraging me, loving and supporting me then this.for some unknown reason he believes I cheated on him. That isn't in my nature. I can't change him. I'm not going to plead with him. He wants to have s chat tomorrow. Jury is still out.

It may not look like it, it may not feel like it, but I assure you ....
This is a blessing in disguise. When you're truely loved unconditionally, no surgery or circumstance could make him stop loving you. If he's willing to take a chance on losing you to another man, then he's definitely not the one. I know this hurts so much right now but you will find the strength with in you to move past this. *Hugs*

The difficulty is after 15 years and we were each other's best friend and now dealing with this curve ball....Honestly the dating scene is not something I want to even tackle. It will just be me and my cats!!!

I can certainly commiserate with you. My relationship of 15 years just ended. Devastating? Without question. But we did this for ourselves and with that find your personal strength and self love to guide and support you. We will be fine. This happened 4 days before my birthday. I cried for a week. But as with anything it does get better. Just try and comfort yourself.

5 months for me but I can only have a tiny slice so it really isn't worth it.

Everyone is different. I'm 8 months out and I can't even consume an 80 calorie container of yogurt in one sitting. I do find if you are questioning yourself, you are probably doing that for a specific reason. Just ask your surgeon. He knows you the very best. On a side note I'm not about removing all food options from our diet. It's about being smart and mindful.

I bet almost everyone felt this way. I did but since I vomited everyday for months my regret lasted longer. I wasn't myself for 4 months. Some days worse than others. But.....it does subside. Just try to take is slow and if you feel overwhelmed seek help.
