    ALFxRNY got a reaction from libbyleeb in Summer 2018 Surgery Buddies: POST-OP Discussion   
    I have no clue what it is about that weight but it doesn’t seem like it wants to loosen its clutch! I’ve never been this size or the 220 ever in my adult life but I was definitely terrified about the possibility of being stuck there. I guess we just have to keep pushing and hoping for the best. Here’s to reaching ONEderland!

    Holy shit. It’s an app they offer for free on a site that offers membership for free. You didn’t pay for it. It doesn’t owe you anything.

    That said, the mobile app is a bit buggy. I eventually logged into the desktop site and put in my info.

    Also- if you viewed the source code to see what was causing the value limits on the input, didn’t you have to do this on a desktop or laptop? So you were on a desktop anyways.
    And if you were on a desktop, why not just alter the code that’s being processed client side so it accepts the value you’d like it to?

    This is clearly a bug. We do appreciate you bringing it to our attention and our developers will be adding a fix for this issue to our next app update. We have some exciting things planned for our app this year. Stay tuned for some interesting developments.

    Stalls suck! This month I hit 219lbs and then jumped back up to 224 and it wouldn’t budge for a couple of weeks. This morning I woke up 216. Don’t give up. You’ve got this!

    I eat an occasional cookie. They taste good and I haven’t spiraled out of control or anything 🤷🏼‍♀️

    NEWS FLASH.
    Not everyone that is fat got that way from eating brownies, there are just as many that got fat from overindulging on steak and burgers and fried chicken etc as well

    Being hyper-obsessive isn't exactly a healthy mindset, and not something most people would want to be.
    At 3 months out a few bites of brownie is so terrible, why? Does it really matter in the big picture? Will it make more than an ounce, if that, difference in their weight loss? The issue would be if it was large quantities and/or frequently.

    I think it is very unrealistic to think that you will go forever without a normal cookie or brownie. There is food that is better for you, and food that is worse for you, and it's about balance between the two. But at some point you are going to craving and eat a "bad" food, and it will be all right. It won't be a failure, or lead to being overweight again, unless it becomes excessive. It's not a lack of control, it's being human. You know, even naturally skinny people eat Cookies and brownies and chips, and so much more from time to time.
    Now I don't believe in doing something to shock the system or break the stall. I believe stalls start and stop completely independently of what you do. I've stalled when I've eaten perfectly, and lost when I ate poorly, and vice versa.

    Wow!!! 114 lbs?!?! Amazing!!!!

    I had my gastric bypass on 7/30. I’ve been hovering between 65-67 lbs down for the last month or so...I’m really hoping to bust through this plateau sometime soon!

    Ooo that's really good to know! I have been eating the same things and doing a lot of the same work outs. Maybe I should mix things up a bit!
    Thank you!

    I was 6 months post-op on Jan. 3rd. Time sure does start to fly!! I am 114 pounds down....and having to always be on the lookout for cheap smaller clothes, because I am shrinking out of them so quickly. I started in a size 28 and now in a 20, and headed closer to an 18! My wedding rings are almost too big and in danger of falling off. No complaints here
    Oh and I went to the gym yesterday and I didn't die! LOL

    It’s only been two weeks, but I took a picture of my face without doing any angles to hide neck/face fat. First time is 5-6 years I’ve looked at my face and not been embarrassed from seeing fat rolls there.

    So excited and surprised right now! I ordered size 12long Lee relaxed fit jeans as my 14s were way too baggy. Got them and tried them on and.....they were way too big!! 🎉🎊 Woo hoo!!
    I think part of this is that my body does not require the relaxed fit anymore... though that is the kind I’ve worn for years (even when I weighed less years ago). I noticed that as I’ve lost weight after ESG, my butt/hips have shrunk way more than they did with previous weight loss efforts. Weird. Or maybe since I’m past menopause I’m going to lose weight in that area easier...🤔

    Happy New Year! And the time really does fly! I was stalled for almost 2 months. My surgeon’s office said it may be caused by monotony in the diet and to try new things here and there. Awesome that you are still losing inches!

    Happy New Year everyone!
    I don't post a lot, I kinda lurk. But I love hearing about everyone's process and progress! I'm 5 months post op tomorrow! I can't believe how much time has already gone by!
    I'm currently stalled out, I blame letting too much sugar back into my diet over the holidays. I think I'm still losing inches though, and hopefully the scale will start moving again soon.
    Hope everyone's New Year is of to a great start!

    And I think you need some serious help. If you are doing coke and chasing it with alcohol, you have way bigger problems than can be resolved in a bariatric support group. Maybe check out some rehab centers.
