3 pieces and I am full (no pain or discomfort; I don’t take it that far)

Ooh, congratulations... I’m down to size 11!! Feels great! I like Hanes. They have a variety of different cuts, they’re pretty, and comfortable and not too expensive. I get mine from Target.

Yay a bathing suit that finally looks good...

I had my surgery on April 16, 2019. These are all the clothes that were too big on me so gave it to goodwill.

Starting weight 214lbs.
VSG Surgery date April 16, 2019.
Weight today 190.3lbs.

Here is the list I made preop, my weight loss bucket list as it is:
1. cross my legs - check! I love crossing my legs now and do it all the time!
2. sneeze without peeing - condition has improved greatly
3. rock climbing - haven't tried yet, kinda forgot it was on my list
4. run a 5k - currently training and looking for a race
5. be comfortable wearing shorts and not just capris in summer - check! I never used to wear shorts, but now I have 3 in my new size and only one pair of capris
6. buy a swimsuit that doesn't have a skirt - check!
7. waterski again - gotta get to the lake this summer to knock this one off
7. Sex. More energy for it, more fun positions to try - DOUBLE CHECK!
Some bonus things: I like being able to pop myself up to sit on counters, I can sit on the floor without hurting my hips, I can buy a much bigger variety of shoes because I no longer need wide widths. Unfortunately I'll need to replace all my wide calf boots because they look ridiculous on me now.

Worth it

You look awesome😊😊😊

It may be because of your low BMI, but trust the process! You got this girl

It’s frustrating, no doubt. It WILL pass, though.

I'm 11 days PO and I haven't lost anything in 4 days. I *know* that it's silly to be concerned, that my body is healing, and that the scale will start moving again soon. It's still frustrating tho.

This is exactly what happened to me. I expected it, and my logical brain was okay with it, the rest of me was freaked out that I’d be the one person that has surgery, follows the plan and doesn’t lose.
Its tough not to stress about it. I’ve found that having fitness/exercise goals also can help give you something to “win” at even when the scale is being uncooperative.

@Boldilocks - Thanks for sharing! I’m not freaking out too much. It’s more of the waiting game and being impatient at this point lol.

BTW - I had my first stall at 12 days post surgery - and it lasted a week and a half! Try not to freak out!

My surgery date was April 9, 2019 and I am going through the same thing. I became fearful that if I am not losing and I am on mushy food what happen when I eat regular food. However, I am staying positive. I really wish I could find a support group in Southern Maryland. Also, I am losing about 1lb. every 1 1/2 weeks and that cool with me.

Definitely! Plus with your BMI being on the lower side to begin with, you aren't going to drop the huge amounts initially that some do (it was the same with me).

This early out I wouldn't even call it a stall. Your body is still recovering from surgery. Just be patient, its a process.

If you use the search tool you will see is a very popular subject! Endless threads are created about it and there are countless tips recorded by hundreds of posters. It a great resource!
💜 Congratulations on your safe surgery 💜

Stalls are normal parts of the weight loss process and we can't prevent them.

Nice 💜
I bet thats a few meals!!!

You guys!!! I did it!
100 pounds down and it feels great! Dont get me wrong its been crazy hard and its hard to see the changes in my body but I know this will all be for the best!
im 4 months post op about 70lbs from surgery and 30 from before! Any ways just wanted to brag lol!

I’m ten months out and have lost 83lbs. I’m 13 pounds to goal!!
