JAKE H

7 months out and down 100lbs (same as my 6 month update) but the inches are coming off. My size 38 jeans that I bought a month ago are too loose and Im into 36s for the first time since my senior year of high school. I can say my mind doesnt revolve around the surgery or weight loss like it did. Before I put any food or drink into my mouth I do have that immediate reminder. Occasionally my eyes are bigger than my stomach but the sleeve stops me. I have the occasional Snacks here and there but I keep it in check and sizing is tiny. Still not exercising as much as I should and I continue to be frustrated with my self for failing at this.
At this point I would be happy to see 1lb a week so I am at goal weight by March but if this is the end of the road I know the only way lower will be to exercise more regularly.
For you veterans out there is this what maintenance mode feels like?

ive always had a dream of skydiving but i was always too heavy. You have to be 250 to be able to do it. This was my first goal and this morning i hit it. I should be taking the jump within the next few weeks. i cant wait!!!

everybody. Do a search on the "three-week stall" (although it's not always the third week - sometimes it's the second - or fourth- or fifth - but at any rate, sometime within the first 4-6 weeks of surgery). You will find HUNDREDS of posts on this if you search it.
P.S. Don't fast. You need the nutrition for healing. Just stick to your surgeon's program. The stall WILL break, I promise.

just to repeat - STICK TO YOUR PLAN. The weight loss will start up again. Stalls are common and will happen again and again throughout your weight loss journey. Just stick to your surgeon's plan and stay off the scale if you have to. But the weight loss WILL start up again.

Wow great accomplishment!

Yay, Jake H! You RAWK!

Congratulations! Very inspiring!

i was humbled to get on the scale this morning and see 239.0. This surgery has been the best thing ive ever done. As everyone else says "i just wish i had did it sooner." I hope everyone has a happy thanksgiving and enjoy your day. Thanks for the support.
