How long do they last. The scaled has not gone down in 2 weeks. In fact went up 2 pounds. WTH? Not cheating at all. :(

Thanks. I know you are right. Im 9 weeks out and have lost 40 pounds. Well 38 now if you count the 2 pound gain. So i guess i need to be happy with that

2 weeks post op, I stalled for 3 weeks! I had lost 28lbs quickly and also went up 2 lbs and back down.. it just fluctuated for 3 weeks. I started to carb cycle lightly, and it began to finally move. There is a thread on fitness/nutrition area called Carb cycle solution. Worth a try.. doesn't work for everyone but it has worked for a lot.. myself included.. I really love it and plan to make it apart of my lifestyle.. I just changed it a bit to fit myself. I do no carb no carb, and higher carb. Hasn't let me down yet. Hope this helps.

Good Luck to ya!

I have been stuck at the same weight for about 8 weeks now. I had stopped journaling what I eat. When I resumed journaling, I realized that my calories were not too bad, but my food choices were getting a little (ok...a lot) heavy on the carbohydrates. I think this is what is causing me to stall. I am working on eliminating the carb "creep" (which probably was more like carb typhoon for me), but I am confident that this will help break this plateau. Have you tried looking very clsely at your diet? Maybe you are eating more or less of something like Fiber, carbs, Protein, etc. It doesn't seem to take much to cause a stall, but it also doesn't seem to take much to break one either! Remember... a lot of folks think there is a mental component in all of this, as well. BELIEVE that you will break the plateau and all of your efforts will be for the best! Best of luck!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
