Yaaaaaaa right! I beg to differ!!!!! I completely understand your statement! I do I have horrible endocrine issues that I can starve myself and not loose a #. I get it!! I'm also in nursing. Sooooo it's hard for me to sit hear and believe that a person didn't eat "one ounce" of unhealthy food to get where they are. That's bs. You and I didn't get to where we are by eating good wholesome food. That's where reality needs to be a big part of people's success.

Thank you everyone !!❤️

So my sx was May 31. I feel amazing. So far I am down from 270 to 250. However, the past week and a half my scale has not moved! I have been drinking Water and following my diet very strict. I do see changes in my body atrophy but the scale still freaks me out. It makes me get that feeling when prior to sx, dieting and working out... stepped on the scale and I'd see no improvements. Has anyone else had this experience. It makes me feel like failure I know I sound ridiculous, but I walk 2 miles a day, I'm super active bf I drink about 80ml of water a day.

It's just your body adjusting to everything. You will have stalls, no ifs or buts about it. If you have lost 20 in 2 weeks, You have lost 20 in 2 weeks!!!!!!!!! Think about that. When was the last time you lost 20 in 2 weeks? Give your body time, and as long as changes are happening in your body, it's normal. I was on a 2 week stall and lost a whole clothing size.

Stalls suck to put it bluntly but they are a part of the process and completely normal. I've stalled pretty much every month during this process for 1-2 weeks and I've still managed to lose 63 pounds in 5 months. The weight will come off, just focus on making good habits now and sticking to them.

I can sympathize, I'm currently in a stall and feel it's going to be a longer one. I just started working out and haven't adjusted my caloric intake for it. I'm hoping it's because I'm not eating enough, consistent at eating 900 cals but probably burning an extra 300 from exercise. Going to try to go up to 1,200 and see what happens.
Good luck, keep going, I'm sure it'll move again, so many people on here talk about stalls at different points in their journey.
Also, sounds like you're doing well, my guess is your scale is broken

What was your start weight

My health had been good, even being super heavy and diabetic, I didn't really have issues. Then it all started tumbling very fast and I was/am still a young person. Once I saw those dominoes tumbling, I decided to stop kidding myself and do something drastic. I didn't have anymore time to waste. I was seriously damaging my body. I realized I was at the point I wasn't going to die fast, but very slowly, painfully with a diminished quality of life.
I went from first visit to surgery in 8 weeks. If it wasn't for holidays and pre-op testing I could have done it in a month.
When I was being checked in and got on the gurney, I had already looked death in the face during my cardiac clearance to qualify for surgery. I had no fears being wheeled back. Either I would die that day in surgery, or pretty rapidly post-op from a complication and I was fine with that. I wasn't interested in 15 years of living like and old person because I love cheeseburgers and milk shakes.

Nope. I was pretty convinced I was going to die pre-op. I wasn't even concerned about dying because or during surgery because I knew that would be a lot faster than the route I was on.

There are some benefits to hitting rock bottom, you have nothing to lose.

Awesome!!! Where are you getting your procedure done!? I live in Az! I remember when this whole process started and now it's three weeks away basically lol! Best of luck you to!! Keep me posted!!!

Me too!!!!

May 31st!!! Woopwoop! Good luck everyone!!!!! [emoji322]

Eating fast food is not healthy at all... to me it's comparable to smoking. It's awful for you. Success is measured per individual from what their standards are set.... so it they have low standards not knowing, they will think they are achieving great things but could be doing better. It pains me to hear people getting this surgery and right away want to put the naughty foods back into their system. It scares me to my core. I don't want those cravings ever again. I don't want to be this person I am now before surgery. I want to be the best version of me making healthy decisions that don't include crap food. I know I'll loose faster and my skin and appearance will look good! I just love myself too much to get the sleeve surgery and dare think to put crap in my system. [emoji171]
