May 25th it will be 2 yrs for me. I did so great in the first year and a half. Then I don’t know what happened. Well I know. I started to be bored and ate. Small meals all day. Ridiculous! I’m so mad at myself. I was 215 the day of my surgery. I got down to 155. Wanted to get just to the other side of 150 and I would of been in cloud 9. But nope. I’m now 172 pounds. I’m trying to get back to 160. I’ve started to keep a log on what I eat. Chewing my food. And small plate abs fork. I feel hungry. When I eat I don’t get the filling I used too. Witch is so sad to me. I turned 60 in February and I’m so disappointed in myself. So coming in here and reading helps. So thanks everyone on this post for the suggestions. I haven’t had a protein shake in awhile. So when I think I’m hungry, I’ll turn to those. Thanks again.

Hi. I also started out around the same. 217. I lost 17 right away. Last week was my 2 month mark. I am now 190. So you're doing good! I think. I wish I could get on the other side of 190. Seem to be stuck there. Again. Everyone talks about stalls. I get so frustrated. I hardly eat. I mean I don't overeat. I do eat throughout the day. But I can hardly eat anything. I know I need to drink more water. I have trouble doing that. I walk the treadmill. But I'm glad you posted. Because it's nice to read what others are going though. I guess I thought I would be losing faster not eating like I did before surgery. Maybe being 57 it's going to be slower. Who knows. But thanks again 😊

I'm glad we have this. So we can see, we are not alone. The scales moving again. Thank goodness. I was really get down. Half the time I think it's from not eating enough. But I'm glad you commented. Thank you and good luck to you! 😌

I'm glad too to hear we're in the same boat. I did lose 6 more pounds. I guess I'm just losing slow. It's frustrating. Hope you're doing well 😌

I'm 6 wks post op. surgery was 5/25/17 Starting weight 216 now i have been stuck at 195 for 2 weeks. Was doing great at the beginning. Now nothing. I can barely eat. But I do. Small plate. Small portions. But i get full fast. So I do not understand how I can eat so little but am not losing. Frustrated!

I'm with you. Only I'm 15 days. Lost the first week. Now nothing since. But I'm guilty of not drinking my water. So I'm going to try doing that. I never measured myself so idk if I'm losing inches. Clothes are lose. So I'm sure I am. I've been reading all about the 2 and 3 week stalls. So I'm trying not to freak out. VSG 5/25/17 HW 216 /CW 200/ GW 155

I wanted to check in and see this post being older if anyone is having this problem. Yesterday was 2 weeks for me since surgery. First week I lost 15lbs. As of my 2 wks yesterday I haven't lost. I know I need to drink more water and I'm trying. Other than that I'm moving and eating what I'm suppose too. Anyone else with me here?. I guess I thought I would of seen some movement in the scale. I still hate that thing!

Thank you so much. I needed that. 💜

Hi. Hope your doing good. I'm ok. I got very emotional on surgery day. Dr told me when he got into the OR I had been balling. Ugh. When we drove home the day after I kept thinking, what did I do! Today I still am having a hard time. Sleeping ok. Feel hungry. Trying to do my liquids. Tomorrow I will start on next stage. I keep thinking, why didn't I just try harder to lose the weight. I have an aunt and a niece that both had they surgery. They keep telling me... it's going to be ok. This too shall pass. I hope so. 😌

I too am May 25th. Feeling the same. Can't sleep. Nervous. I think sometimes me reading some of the things on here is what scares me. But I'm ready! I'm done looking and feeling like this. I cannot wait to be able to sit on the floor with my grandsons, Buy new clothes. And go out with my hubby and feel confident about myself. So here I go!!!

I'm with you ALL the way. I'm 57. I have been overweight for 19 yrs. first it was 10-20-30 pounds. Now I'm 215lbs. 5'3 I'm so tired of feeling unhealthy and looking like this. Yes! Number one reason is my health. But, I do want to feel good. Look good. I want to hold onto my husbands arm and look good at his side. So vain? Idk. I just want to feel and look good!! So I'm with you and... good for you!!! 😊

May 25th for me too!

Hi! I'm in Colorado. I'll have my date on Monday. But will be in mid May. I'll keep you posted

Hi. I too have knee and back pain. I also have restless legs. I am 5'2 and weigh 215. My dr says it's from my weight. It takes me awhile to get up after sitting. Pretty sad It has come to this. Im hoping with weight loss the pain will leave
