Wednesday Weigh In:

Surgery date 1-22-18

SW 369

CW 291.4

GW 200

Hope all of you are having a great week!!!

I posted this on my own thread a while back but I'd like it to live forever here, too! 100 lbs down and a little past goal in this pic.

Wednesday weigh in time
I'm at 219 today. That's another 3lbs off despite being in the middle of moving house and having a chesty cold.
That's 43lbs off since surgery on 12th Jan, 51lbs since pre-op assessment and 73 from my heaviest weight in August 2017.
This was absolutely the best decision for me.x

I am 9 weeks post-op and down 40 pounds and feeling pretty good. The last two weeks I have been stuck. I dipped to 298 pounds one day but have maintained 301.6 for two weeks straight! I am wanting to beat 300 so bad!! I am getting my Protein and getting 700-900 calories per day so I am not sure what the heck is going on. I have been going to the gym and doing cardio and light weights for about 4 weeks now. I was hoping it was just Water retention, but for two weeks straight? What have you done to beat multiple week stalls?

Have you been hitting your Water goals? Someone your height should be around 120 oz. I increased mine to about that much and have been constantly losing and haven't had much of a stall since. It also helps to eat more carbs than usual one day to surprise your metabolism. Works for me and may work for you!

EDIT: You may also be burning more calories than what you are eating; this will mostly cause a stall as well.

Was sleeved on 1/10. I started my 6 month pre-op journey in June at a weight of 368. My next visit was at an all time high of 370. That is when it hit me that I wasn’t mentally ready and I knew that I had to mentally prepare before I would truest be ready. The next visit I had dropped some weight and then some more the next. I was feeling good losing weight and I slow came to realize that I was truly ready. In my December appointment I was down to 360ish and I was excited to get my surgery date for January. Surgery day rolled around and I weighed in at 340 (after an awesome 2wk pre-op diet).
Over the last 2 months I have experienced two stalls and many mini-victories. My first stall lasted 5-6 days at around week 3. My second stall lasted a little over 2 weeks, I just overcame it two days ago and was getting very frustrated. I was at my 300 pound brick wall. I weighed in at 301.6 everyday for two weeks straight! I thought my scale was broke, but no matter where I moved it to on the floor in the bathroom, kitchen, bedroom.... garage, it didn’t make a difference! Still 301.6.... Finally, two days ago I crawled on my scale and BAMM! I beat down my brick wall and seen a beautiful 299.5 and this morning 297.6.
With this accomplishment behind me I am excited once again and am looking forward to my next mini goal of 280. I find it mentally satisfying of setting small realistic goals and reaching them. If my only goal is to reach 200, I will have a long miserable journey. But, if I set small goals I will enjoy my journey and not be discouraged as easy.
So here I am, 9 weeks 2 days out and a total of 72.4 pounds lost since my July 2017 weigh-in.
i have read so many encouraging stories on here. I hope that mine may bring some comfort to somebody that is discouraged due to a stall or even had a bad weigh-in during their pre-op phase. Good luck and have fun on your journey to a better life!

2 months out and 40 lbs down. I am starting to see a slight visible difference. My clothes are definitely starting to fit better.

It took me to the 15 week mark before BAM none of my clothes fit anymore! Had to swap the majority of them out, go diving for old smaller sizes, swap with friends and family...the first shopping trip post op was out of a dream. Imagine looking into a fitting room mirror and liking your reflection! You will be amazed, it will happen! Congratulations on the loss so far.

Thanks everybody! That is what I’m hopping for @336Mike! We are 3 months out from a beach trip. I am hoping some smaller sizes are in my near future.
