    I feel life is a constant stall and bam, I'm down 5 pounds! Just remember that slowly but surely it will come off. I am down 80 pounds since last August (surgery 11/22) and it has been a struggle. I'm down maybe 5 pounds since April and I've had multiple previous stalls. All you can do is focus on the finish line and stay on track with your food/exercise. You will reach your goal :).

    I can't believe that I'm down 50 pounds since surgery on 11/22/16. I'm down 62 since 8/3/16. Best decision ever! I feel so much better and I can't wait until I can see the difference in my body. However, my clothes do feel bigger and I can comfortably sleep on my stomach lol so wins there! I can't wait to continue this journey.

    Question: Does/has anyone experienced incision pain more than 3 months after surgery? Just curious as I joined a boot camp and things such as burpees cause pain in my incision site. Thanks!

    I've hit multiple stalls since surgery on 11/22/16. I go many days without losing weight. For example, in the past 30 days I've lost only five pounds and all five were in about a three day period. It definitely gets frustrating but I'm still averaging about two pounds of weight loss a week and I'm okay with that. I'm in the middle of a stall that has lasted about three weeks right now. Just patiently waiting for the scale to move :).

    My friend is getting married in March. Most of the bridesmaids got measured in October. The bridal shop advised me the latest possible date was December. I was sleeved in September. In October I was a size 20. In December I measured a size 16. I ordered one size down and was told if necessary it could be taken in an additional two sizes. This month I should be getting my size 14.
    Part of me is worried I'll have to be greased into a size 14 and the rest is worried I'll be swimming in it by March. There's no real easy answer for dress shopping. Go to the shop, discuss your options with them because they will be able to give you a far better timeline for ordering and an idea on resizing
    If you're worried about dropping more weight for the big day perhaps you could begin going to the gym more frequently, assuming you're not there every day to begin with.

    I set my appointment up today to go to David's Bridal on 2/4. I'm hoping to get someone very helpful that can help me with sizing down if necessary!

    I have the gastric bypass on 11/9/16 not the sleeve, but it looks like you have already lost close to 50 pounds in 28 days. I have lost 52 pounds. DO NOT stress. I suggest you find your dress and then have it altered closer to the date. You will be a beautiful bride and believe me everyone will notice the weight loss

    I've lost 33.4 pounds since 11/22 and almost 50 since August and I'm very grateful for it. I just wish I could see it more :(. Thank you for the kind words!

    Hello everyone,

    So I had my sleeve put on back on 11/22/16. I was married back in April of 2016 and our wedding reception is in April of 2017 (it was a fast wedding due to my husband adopting my boys so we couldn't put a party together fast enough last year). I'm starting to stress out SOOOOOO bad over something to wear! I'm thinking I won't do an actual wedding dress but I still plan on going to David's Bridal and getting a similar dress (just fancy and white).

    I thought my weight loss would make a huge difference where April (5 months post-op) would be some type of reveal for me. I don't look like I've lost any weight and feel stuck. Any women have experience with this type of issue or a similar one? I don't know if I should go now to pick out a dress and have it altered closer to, or if I should just wait period. I don't want to wait too long where I can't get it altered. What should I do???? I'm so upset over this :(. I am patiently waiting for the day that I can feel the change in my clothing but I'm in such of a time crunch!
