I don’t measure myself weekly so I’m not sure if they changed. I do it once a month so I can’t be sure.
I’m closing in on goal so I know the losing will slow down. I’m just bewildered by this infamous 3 month stall that so many experience regardless of their starting BMI.
I was losing so nicely I didn’t think I would hit a stall but I think I might be in one...hasn’t been two week yet so we shall see.
I just don’t like the 2 lb yo yo right now. -
Okay, so we all know about it but I have a specific question...
When in the stall, does the weight fluctuate? Like a two pound flux?
Just want to make sure I am in the stall or is this something else? I don’t want to make myself crazy changing things if it is just typical.
Thoughts?
Thanks! -
This is interesting. I assumed I would have to have the muscles repaired and tightened but maybe...
I’m glad the lift isn’t painful! I had a reduction 25 years ago and that hurt as much as I can remember.
I’m actually hoping when I do the lift that I will be a little smaller than I am. I am presently a DD and would love to end up a C. That is what I wanted 25 years ago and I got a D. Grrr. I was thin back then and was really hoping for a full C. Oh well...
It is also interesting to hear that menopause may help me with plastics! Lol yeah!

Sophie,
You look fantastic! I am so excited for you.
I’m 55 and I’m confident when I am finished losing that I will need exactly the same surgery you have just gotten. It is great to see someone close to my age doing so well!!
I’m 10 lbs from my original goal and then I will wait at least 6mos-1yr before I go under the knife.
I imagined myself having a rough time as compared to the other younger ladies who have recently undergone plastics. You have given me confidence by sharing your story!
Congratulations on the perky boobs and flat tummy! -
My sincere condolences.

I had band removed in 2018 and was sleeved on 10/19. Originally the surgeon wanted to do RNY but changed his mind due to the fact that I was getting gout attacks (not diet related).
I hope that I don’t end up with reflux. So far no signs of it but I think it can develop later on...
Best wishes to you! -
You look amazing! What size boobs did you end up with? I ask because I will probably get a lift when I do TT. But of course this will probably be next year for that.
I couldn’t see the faja image for some reason..

You look FABULOUS! -
I can totally tell. Look at your chin and how much larger your eyes look! Your face shaped has definitely changed.On 01/13/2020 at 15:18, LadyVS said:

I struggle with the Water amount each day. I do try but I seem to stay full and then I try to get water in and feel awful. Lately I’m drinking more at night which helps but makes me wake up to pee. Lol
I got off my CPAP (no more snoring here either), bp reduced (it was getting terribly uncontrollable), feet feel better...pretty much everything feels better.
I am starting to do IF as I would love to hit goal by the end of March when we are going on a cruise.

I’m doing quite well. I was 222 on October 1 and I was 167.5 today. My goal was to hit 155 that I now feel confident that I will hit. So 54.5 lbs down. I am 5’6” and now I have a BMI of 27. I started with a BMI of 35.
I may lower the goal when I get there but I’m not sure how that will look at 55 years old.
I feel so much better than I did in July at my first appointment. I was 228 then so technically I am down 61 since the summer.
How are YOU doing? -
I feel like telling someone who just got bariatric surgery that you know someone who gained it all back is comparable to telling someone on the gurney that you know someone who died in surgery. It is just in poor taste...
I am also one who didn’t share my surgery. It is my personal health information.
That being said, I do feel dishonest sometimes when people comment on my weight loss and I don’t divulge. I just don’t want to be defined by my weight loss surgery so I haven’t opened that can of worms. I don’t care if people figure it out or assume because I’m not embarrassed. If someone came to me for serious advice, I would consider sharing to be helpful. -
Okay, it sounds like my one cup a day should not harm me.
I drink it with a little bit on milk and stevia so I’m not getting calories really.
I was more interested in the gastritis or ulcer issues.
I am going to ask at my next appointment to find out the rationale.
Thanks again for all the responses!!buckbuckbuck reacted to this -
I have recently started drinking coffee in the mornings. Prior to two weeks ago I hadn’t had any since July (3 months pre op).
Someone convince me that I must stop this!
Sigh... -

Congratulations! I’m happy for you and plan on joining the club in about a year.
I cannot wait to see all the new outfits! I just read that TT can mean 2-3 size change after swelling subsides.GreenTealael reacted to this -
I agree with the others and it sounds like your mother is mentally ill.
Hopefully some day she will get on some kind of medication to help her.
Until she is well, keep her blocked.
I’m sorry you drew the crappy mother card.

I baked them with my daughter last night and I didn’t try one! It seemed so unnatural!On 12/22/2019 at 18:50, JessLess said: -
It is weird but I don’t crave all of my favorites anymore.
I am two months post op and I hope I keep feeling like this forever!
I’m just so obsessed with getting to goal that I think I’ve convinced myself that all of my faves are evil. Lol -
You are doing amazing! Congratulations!

I would see a urologist.
Consider yourself lucky that you didn’t have a full blown attack. They must have been small and smooth enough to pass through the kidneys and ureters.
I speak from experience. Get into the urologist. They will probably a test to see if your kidneys have stones in there.
It will also help for them to do a urine test to see if you are bleeding due to the stones moving down and out.
Hope this one was one time deal. Be well. -
3 month stall question
in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

Yeah, food intake is status quo. I even decreased last week to see if I could break the stall.
I’m not two weeks at this same weight yet so I’m sure it will move along again.
Thanks for all the replies!
