I am also losing slow but I am okay with that too. It is just so weird when I try on clothes and can fit in to a smaller size but the scale hasn’t moved in weeks.

I was taking them as well but stopped. I am so bad about taking stuff. Im taking the gummies for hair and also the multi Vitamin by them. I find it much easier to take gummies instead of the chews. My weight loss is slow I’m down around 60lbs. Seems like I have stalls but I still lose inches. I’m ok with it coming off slowly. I’m worried about loose skin. So far so good.

I love the joy when a three week stall ends... Weight just falls off.... 7 lbs in two days....
I kept losing and gaining the same 1 or 2 lbs for three weeks.... SUCKS !!

I love roasted cauliflower! I like mine to get a little crunchy. I spray a little olive oil to it first and give them a toss. Then i sprinkle on seasonings. Mostly the same ones you mentioned. I like a little kick, so I use a Cajun seasoning also. Very good! Definitely prefer fresh over frozen.

Hi April Sleevers,
Some of us are hitting the 2 month mark this week. Congrats! Hope you all are doing well.
I ate a tiny bit of salad for the first time and two small bites of watermelon. The salad was chopped into tiny pieces, lol. This is my first time eating raw vegetables and fruit. No problems with either. I kept the salad ingredients simple to test out just a few raw veggies at one time. Just tried a tiny bit. Its watermelon season so I'm hopeful that I can use it as a snack. I know some programs discourage eating fruit due to sugar, but my program allows a little bit of fruit. 🙂
Happy 2nd month surgerversary!!

Hey April Sleevers,
Everyone feeling ok about making it through the holiday weekend? I will be attending a family gathering where family will see me for the first time. I'm 7 weeks out so I've lost weight and can only eat 2.5 ounces of food. Sox I'm preparing to handle a few questions. I'm feeling confident about staying in plan.
How about you all?

Hey ,
same here I had my surgery on April 7th / 7 weeks out. As far as a gathering I will be at work keeping my mind occupied while the rest of the family is bbq’ing lol. But I just say it’s a roller coaster for me. Doing my best staying on track and with the plan.

This is crazy. I have been yo-yoing between 320 and 321 for the last week+. I KNOW I am not consuming as many calories as I am burning. And I have been walking. And consuming a buttload of Water.
This is why weightloss absolutely sucks for so many people. And can be unbelievably discouraging. The body doesn't go into shutdown mode when you're gaining weight; only when losing.

I feel the same. I started working out and I’m walking religiously and this scale is STUCK! I just want out these 200s.

Yup! I’n the same damn boat . On 3 weeks haven’t gained but haven’t lost a single lb and it’s driving me crazy! All I’m eating is tuna and salmon as well! I heard it’s normal for a stall hope it ends soon!

Thanks Allie!

Once you get to the soft stage I highly recommend the fuel for fire Protein packs!! I love them all!!!

I was sleeved 3/10 and have been consistently eating 700-900 up to 1,000 calories a day and have been steady losing about 4-6 pounds a week and no stalls yet (knock on wood!!) I do walk at least 2-3 miles each day which I think really has helped me not have any stalls and I stay hydrated but I wouldn't be scared of having 800 calories a day!! That is still a VERY small amount of calories!

I had my surgery 04/26, so going on 4 weeks out. I went back to work this past week. I work a wfh desk job. I’m experiencing really bad fatigue. As in when I’m not working I’m sleeping.. 😂
I also had some issues with BM. I wasn’t really getting constipated, I was having fairly regular BM. But then I’d get a super hard one that would get...stuck? At my 2 wk my surgeon told be to ease off of milk of mag or any other still softeners and start Fiber daily. Wow it’s definitely worked.

Surgery buddies!! I had mine on April 27 as well.

I had mine on April 27th

15 days post op, 22 pounds since I started 2 week pre-op diet, only about 15 since surgery. How's everyone else doing??

Idk what your starting height and weight were but 28 pounds is a great start. Everyone is so much different. But even the veterans will tell you some were slow losers but they still eventually lost it all.

My surgery was April 14th 2021 starting weight 237 down 198 in a little over a month

If it makes you feel any better my good friend got surgery April 6 she has similar stats and she’s lost 24 lbs so far, and I had my surgery on April 27 and I’ve lost 14lbs since surgery. It took you a long time to gain the the weight and it’s gonna take a while for it to healthily come off. You are doing amazing! Your body is adjusting.

This is about where I am starting with my surgery weight. My surgery is 3/25/2021. Can I ask how long it took to get where you are now ? I am so excited for this change but I am also extremly anxious and really want to set realistic expectations. I see some people down 70+lbs in just under 4 weeks and other under 12 weeks. I feel like I have so far to go to hit my goal weight of 170lb. I am currently on the preop diet at 350lb and hoping to drop down to 345 before the surgery. But after getting some great advice on thia forum I am trying not to stress and let the surgery do its job. Any advice or guidance from your experience would be a greatly appreciated 💞

Just hit the 75 pounds lost today on MyFitessPal. Photo from 222 lbs. in 2013 to 146 pounds today.
