I have reached 60 pounds and I must say I do not feel different. I still look in the mirror and see the fat rolls on my stomach that are not budging and that depresses me. I have stalled right around 60 pounds...fluctuating up and down a couple pounds and I am getting discouraged!!!! I think the biggest thing that bugs me is - I thought by the time I reached 50-60 pounds, you'd really be able to tell and people would be like wow- are you losing weight? And I have had that occasionally but not what I thought at all and I guess I am just feeling down about everything. Anyone else feel like this? Oh and I am 7 months post op...

Don't be down on yourself!!! 60 lbs is a huge success and something to be extreme proud of. I'm not sure how much more you have to lose, but know if you keep it up, the weight WILL come off!

People may be noticing and just not saying anything. The other day a colleague overheard me talking on the phone to my hubby about my weight loss. When I got off the phone he said that he had noticed I had lost weight however did not want to say anything as he was concerned I might take it the wrong way!! He said congratulations. Sometimes people are unsure whether to say something or sometimes because people see you everyday it is harder for them to notice the weight loss. It is that way with my hubby. I ask him if he has noticed and he says a little. I went to work and my friend that has been on holiday was back and she was amazed!!! Keep your chin up your doing great!!!!

come on now.. you are on the downside... just because people don't say anything doesn't mean they don't notice... at first people would say wow you are looking great,, now they are used to me being thinner so not too many comments.. Did you do this to get other people's attention, I doubt it.. you did it for yourself.. so keep on going and ignore the rest of it..

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
