3wk stalls are normal. I know how hard it is to be positive about stalls, but they are just that stalls. You'll definitely lose again. I would put the scale away and not check my weight for awhile. Hope yall break your stalls soon. I know normally there is a 3month stall and we are all coming up on our 3 month so we should all start stalling soon if you're not already. I'm not looking forward to it...

Hi guys,
I am going through a three-week stall. Kinda bummed. Have lost 0 lbs- maybe +/-1 over the three weeks. I did increase my calories during this time and feel my hunger is back- I obviously dont eat as much as I used to, but I do get hungry nowadays. I wonder if this is it. Maybe all my body wants to lose is 50 lbs. I was really hoping to reach 155 lbs.
Well, hopefully this is just a stall and not end of the road.
Hope all the others here are having better luck.

Update, I gained 3 lbs last week but lost 2 lbs this week. We had catered Breakfast and lunches brought in last week for my team and I made some poor decisions but this week I'm focused and back on track. I was miserable last week. This 1st pic was taken yesterday the other one a 3 weeks ago.

I felt skinny this morning for once so I snapped a pic. I then added it to my collage and what a difference! I still can't believe the first picture is me. But then I still feel like I look like the first picture and that even though I've lost 45lbs I still look that big. Now seeing the difference I gotta push myself to believe I am changing and to stop seeing myself as before. I'm 5lbs away from the half way mark of my goal weight and I'm 17lbs away from Onederland! I can't wait!

I have PCOS too and I was also so worried I wouldn't lose the weight after surgery. PCOS was the reason I had the surgery since the PCOS gave me the metabolic disorder and no matter what I gained weight and couldn't lose no matter how little I ate and how much I worked out. My brother lived with us at the time and said he just thought maybe I wasn't working out hard enough and eating while I was out. Even though he'd ask me if I wanted something from whatever fadt food he was getting and I would always tell him no. When I finally told him why and it's because of PCOS he felt bad lol.

I'm 2 1/2months out from surgery and I am down 45lbs. So I've been losing steadily. I am so happy I got the surgery. I do get scared at times its too good to be true and the PCOS is gonna ramp up and stop me from losing anymore weight then I'll start gaining lol.

I was the same way after my surgery in July. I was hungry it was not head hunger at all its the burning sensation of your stomach telling you its time to eat and its empty. I can tell you that it never went away and I'm hungry all the time. But there is an upside to being hungry you won't feel like you're force feeding yourself like most people here do because they're not hungry. My bestfriend is like that she had the surgery a month after me and she's never hungry and tells me she hates eating because she feels like she has to force herself to eat and it makes her nauseous.
We are suppose to eat 5-6 meals a day and with hunger its an easier task then having to force it. So I'm kinda glad I feel hungry. Before my surgery I was the opposite and was never hungry and would probably eat like 2 meals a day. So when i seen i would have to eat 5-6meals a day I was like oh gosh how am I going to do that i barely want to eat now. But after the surgery being hungry made it so much easier to accomplish that and get in my Protein.

Hi,
I attended my first party this weekend. There was quite a few family and friends there. I was really nervous about how I was going to explain my weight loss, I haven't told anyone except my two sons and my soon to be daughter in law. Only two people commented on my weight loss and I basically told them I have been dieting and exercising which I have been since before and after my surgery. I'm just really surprised more people did not comment on my weight loss. I've lost 70 lbs since January. There was a girl at the party who weighed as much as me before, we used to walk every weekend for a few months then we quit because other things kept coming up, she knew how hard I was trying to lose weight. I was shocked that she never commented on my weight loss. She was not acting herself at the party, I got a feeling she was not happy with my weight loss [emoji20]. The good news is I'm 66 days post OP and down 37 lbs. It's coming off slow but it's been steady [emoji4]

Hey guys it’s been a while just checking in! So glad to hear everyone doing so great! Things have been good here too ! He’s at 98 lost and I’m at 85 lost. I’ll try not to be gone so long before the next update!

I'm 2months and 1 wk out. I'm down 42lbs weighting 219 only 20 more lbs til I'm in the 100s can't wait. I have sized down to a med/Large in my pajama pants lol! My other ones were size 2x-3x and they were falling off of me. My husband actually told me your pants look too big for you. I'm down to L/XL in shirts now and can wear form fitting shirts. I was 2x-3x and made sure all my shirts were loose because I was embarrassed of my rolls. Pants I started at a snug 18 and now I'm in a 14/15 and they are getting loose. Its exciting, but at the same time I see myself in the mirror and I feel I look the same as before surgery. I am getting hit on a lot more when I got to random places. Its odd and awkward lol. I am hoping to lose 20lbs by Jan when I go back home to see my family. I want to me in the 100s. I haven't been working out this past month. I got sick then my husband went out of state for work and I had the kids alone and no child care at the gym. I plan on going back Monday!!

This is the July Surgery Thread. We've all had our surgeries done in July 2019. Here is the roll call for November! I attached the link. Good Luck on your journey! 😊
