Well I’m down but it’s slow moving, so just continuing to track my Protein, drink my Water, and I bought a new scale in case my old one was lying 😜

Guess who hit onderland after stalling for 3.5 weeks at 201? THIS lady did! Woohoo!

I just dropped to 204.6 this morning. Woohoo.

Woohoo!!! That’s amazing!!!! Congrats!!!!! How often were you weighing yourself??? And how long was your stall???? I’m in the middle of my first one :( but woop for you 🎉🎉🎉

So I had to avoided the scale. It been a lil over 2 weeks now, I kept getting frustrated/disappointed with the numbers. I decided to just let my clothes tell me my progress.
I bought super skin tight I can even breathe in them leggings 2 weeks ago then fit perfectly now and I just got rid of all my jeans since I went from a size 20 to a size 16 and it’s been 2 1/2 month since I was sleeved. So I may not see the numbers going down but at least the inches are!
Sorry if it comes off Braggy no one in my family gets it

Not the case here

I definitely count my cheese towards my Protein goal. I don't really love a lot of lean meat, so cheese plays an important role in my diet.

I weigh myselff naked first thing in the morning after going to the bathroom. I always follow this routine so my scale results aren’t skewed by other factors such as weight of clothes, time of day, or how much I eat or drink before getting on the scale. I also find that if I don’t have a bowel movement or have been constipated for a day or more that the scale may go up or not move. I find walking everyday helps keep me regular, which helps my weight on the scale.
Remember: post-bariatric surgery weight loss is a marathon not a sprint.
Good luck and keep the faith.

I am right there with you! 6 weeks post op tomorrow, up 2 lbs to 217 from my lowest 215, yet I’m doing everything I’m supposed too! So I keep reading everyone’s encouraging words, keep on the path to health, and hopefully the stall will pass quickly. Oh and I started cardio yesterday cause I’d really like to kick this stall in the teeth 😜
Hang in there!

5 days of not losing, I’d say week 5 is my first official stall. Is it weird that I’m already wondering if I’m going to fall or if my sleeve isn’t working? Granted I did lose a good amount already but it’s a little scary that I just stopped losing 😭

Are you tracking your calories? Are you still following your diet plan? Are you exercising and getting enough Water in? Most stalls happen initially while your body is adjusting to caloric intake changes then once it balances it the stall breaks. But you still have to continue to watch what you're eating, track what you're eating and exercise regularly. If you can provide us a little more information we may be able to help you a little better.
Have you spoken with your nutritionist? If so, what is he / she saying?

I'm totally inspired! Up to 20 minutes in 7 weeks. You rock!

I've been reading the boards today as it's the second anniversary of my surgery; I was sleeved 2 years ago today! I'm down 104 pounds, my surgical team is pleased, and I am so happy with myself now! Yes, I am still learning, every day, but it's a good learning. I've stayed on track, I've fallen off the cart and made my mistakes, but I feel like I am always moving forward. PLEASE... if you are anxious, scared, nervous about having the surgery, don't talk yourself out of it. Is my life perfect since surgery? No, but I am SO MUCH HAPPIER with myself and with who I am. Please have the confidence to know you can do this, know you can stick to your program even through the harder times around your surgery. Being sleeved was the best thing I've ever done for myself, and only wish I'd done it ten years earlier!!

Wow!!! Congrats!!!!

i just put on a size 2 shirt from target!! i’ve been in 4 (maybe a loose 3) for over a year. incredible feeling

Tomorrow will be five weeks post op and tomorrow will also be my husband’s 9th angel day. He was 40 when he passed away. We had just had our third daughter, who was 3 weeks old. It’s the first time I’ve mourned his death with no comfort food, and I believe it’ll be my first weigh in where I haven’t lost a single ounce. I knew that I gained my weight due to my loss and my new found habit of emotional eating, but I guess I didn’t realize how the true emotions must have been masked with food as I seem to be more grief struck than I have been in quite sometime. I seem to be constipated with the increase of Protein. I noticed I seem to be grazing higher fat foods the past few days and am pissed at myself for not stopping this behavior sooner! I’m scared this means I’m going to fail. I want to pick myself up, shake off, and kick tomorrow in the teeth!
I guess I just needed to vent 🤮 #wordvomit

I’m almost five weeks out and I’m having the first ‘down’ moments. I made a bariatric recipe for dinner and had the smallest portion and yet I puked it right up 🤮 I’m tired of not eating. I’m tired of chest pain. I’m tired of throwing up. I want coffee ☕️ I’m tired of not being able to chug Water for heavens sake‼️ agh .... I think I’m pushing myself and just need to go back to the basics. I just want to be on the other side of this, but I know I have to do the work. 😭😭😭

I am a nurse, and I have heard urologists say to drink lemon juice in your Water to help prevent renal stones.♡

When I cook for friends and family I cook as normal. I have chosen to change my life and am happy with the decision I made, I don't need to attempt to change anyone else. I know what I can eat and what I can't, I just choose to eat what is best for me regardless of what I cook.

I wouldn't worry about it too much. Just make sure there are some lean Protein options available for you to eat. You won't have much stomach capacity, so just fill up on healthy stuff, and you'll be fine
And if you want a bite of a cinnamon roll, or whatever other food is special to you on for the holidays, then if I were you, I'd go for it. This is a lifestyle, not a short term diet. If you go off plan for one day, just make sure you get back on it the next. Totally not the end of the world.
