i know most get so annoyed to hear the "newbies" ask the same questions over and over again. yes i've used the search bar. there is soooo much information that i'm sorry i do not know it all, either do you i'm sure. i'm on soft foods and i'm so bored with it can someone give me some ideas? sick of mashed potatoes and fish. if i eat fish again omg lol Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

i stick to the plan and have learnt i'm a slow loser because i'm a smaller starting weight. sometimes i feel like we all get caught up in number and feel like we aren't doing things right especially when we compare to others. it's all natural sometimes i just need to remember i wouldn't even be at this weight without this tool . just need to take a step back and breathe lol Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

it's hard sometimes i feel i get so wrapped up in loosing and is it fast enough? i forget where i came from. 3/4 months ago, i was 47 pounds heavier. if you told me i needed to loose 47 pounds ever in my life i wouldn't be able to do it. yes i stall for a super long time. yes i so badly want the scale to say 199 instead of 200. but i'm also thankful very thankful the scale doesn't ever read my highest recorded weight of 255. yes weight loss is confusing and always wondering why aren't i loosing faster? it took me my whole life to get up to 255. and in 3 months this surgery has got me to 200.. now that's amazing. this tool is amazing. sorry for rambling i just needed to say something, i know we all hate when the scale isn't going down as we think it should. as long as it isn't going up i'm happy.

i have lost all desire i am 3/4 months out. 26 years old. sex is easier now that i'm 55 pounds lighter but i still don't ever feel like having sex. like others i feel sexier and love the way i'm starting to look. but nope most nights i would rather go to bed... and it does hurt my relationship a little as we are young still. so i'm thankful my SO is supportive and understands lol Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

anyone 3+ months out go back to Protein shakes and full fluids to break a stall? i wanna break my stall and thinking of doing this for 2-3 days. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

it is such a tease!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

yes i was just curious was all i stuck to the plan as always. yesterday was 202. today 200.4 can't wait for 199!!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

ok i think i will keep to the plan then, keep eating what i'm suppose to and the weight will come off sooner or later!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

i know with weight loss stalls are a factor so many other things also make some lose faster than others. i didn't have an extremely high bmi to start with so i know i'll loose slower. i started at 255 day of surgery i was 240(so after my two weeks of optifast) today i weigh 202/201 i am 5"7 i've just started hitting my Protein goal daily for about 2 weeks now! i'm unsure if i'm not loosing weight like i should be. i feel great but the scale hasn't moved in 2.5 weeks i know it happens but last month i only lost maybe 8/9 pounds i am 3 months out from surgery had it september 22 2016 should i try and work harder? or just keep on going thanks Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

i think you are right the closer bmi gets to 30 the more it slows down! slow is better than a stop though lol Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

i'm 3 months out and i'm struggling to hit my Protein goal of 60g a day, i'm worried i am going to become so ill. i hit most days i would say 30-40g. go ahead and judge away but it is very hard for me. the shakes i'm so sensitive to the smell i cannot even get them up to my mouth to take a drink, i just need some advice or something. i'm terrified to get sick even the premier shakes i can't handle, unflavored nope.

i am able to get two shakes a day in which really helps with my goals i still eat Protein as well every time i eat. i am hoping one day to be able to eat it all not a fan of shakes but i've been getting them in!! i must be in a little bit of a stall as well i notice here i said i was 205 i have been 202 almost since a couple days after this Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

i have tried the Water i hate it, i can't stand unflavored i'm so sensitive to the smell. i am forcing myself to drink at least 250ml of a Protein shake a day. so at least that's helping but not enjoying any of it at all. makes me want to be sick thinking about it Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

thank you i feel once i'm able to eat enough Protein it won't be so hard! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

i am two months out from RNY. i started my two week diet september 8th at 247 i went into surgery at 240 today i weigh 210 i'm so scared i'm going to not loose any more weight (as clearly i can eat more now) i'm also scared of stretching my stomach, how easy is it? could it be stretched already?(i'm guessing it's just not as swollen so i can eat more) these are just some fears i've had for a couple of days Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

i stalled two weeks after surgery for almost 4 weeks! it's normal Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App especially since you are on the lower end of the weight scale. i had surgery i was 240 and i stalled at 221 for along time!!!! finally scale moved and i'm at 210 (i'm 8 weeks out) Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

i'll have a bite of everything i love turkey so i'll be taking leftovers for lunches too! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

i'm also 7 weeks out, from weeks 2.5-6 i lost nothing Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

i'm about 7 weeks out from surgery... i've been in a stall for about 4... is it possible that i won't loose any more weight! i know stalls happen but this is very upsetting. and discouraging.. surgery pre op diet i was 247 day of surgery 240 today 219 it did say 216 one week but the next week it jumped back up to 220 and hasn't went down. i have regular bowel movements. i'm just so upset and it's very hard but i know it must be impossible for me to not loose weight right? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

thank you all it is hard and our minds are our biggest enemy! i know it will happen i'm thankful to be down 38 pounds since starting the program! didn't gain it all over night! i actually wear leggings only so i have no idea what pant size i am as my pants just stretch lol maybe i should go try some on make myself feel better i bet i would be shocked Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

maybe because i only want to loose 50-60 more pounds it is slow for me? i am 5"8 so maybe that's why. i'm already half way to my goal. so i guess i should calm down. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

yes! i'm not eating anything off plan. i'm starting to freak out.. maybe i won't loose anymore weight is it even possible for surgery to not have worked? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
