I enter the 3rd month today and have lost a total of 40 pounds in the last two months. Considering the lon duration of stalls that I have had, this is a landmark achievement.

Other than the weight loss some significant events are:

1. No diabetic and hypertension medication for 57 days now.

2. Able to walk into a regular clothing store to pick up polo shirts instead of a Big and Tall store.

3. Joined a gym and loving it !

4. Wearing old clothes from my wardobe (never worn before as they were too tight).

5. And last but not the least, the constant motivation fromt the wonderdul folks in this forum who kept encouraging me during the inevitable stalls. :001_smile:

Congrats!!!

I am so excited to be where you are! I am just 3 days past surgery and so looking forward to reaching the milestones you have! I have a few medical issues that I am hoping to resolve as well.

It is so nice to hear about the successes - it sure gave me strength and courage to have this surgery and to get thru the first couple of days.

congrats again!

Congrats on all your scale and non-scale victories thus far ! ! ! Cheers to many more in your near future ! ! !

Congratulations!

Toasting to you Nagaraj. Cheers, and congratulations :thumbup1:

Nagaraj

You are rockin that sleeve! Great job!

That's awesome Nagaraj!!

Ok, I need some comfort because I'm worried! This coming Thur will be 2 weeks post op for me and so far I've only lost 9 lbs!!! I started at 211 and I'm not at 202! My friend that had surgery the same day that I did also started at 211 and is now at 194!!! What am I doing wrong! I feel so depressed :tongue_smilie: I am still on the liquid diet and believe to be doing everything fine! I don't understand what is going on? Am I not meant to lose weight? I'm sorry I'm having a breakdown here

Also, can someone tell me how I can make a new post?? I've looked everywhere and I can't seem to find it ! Thanks

Thanks everyone. The body has changed the soul remains the same. It felt great walking into a M&S store and picking up a polo shirt !!

Suryfer - everyone is built different. So no point comparing your loss with your friend. Keep those protiens coming in, carbs low and Water high and you will be just fine in a few weeks. I went through the exact same thoughts on "will I not lose", not anymore, the scales will move; they have no choice, the duration will differ. Keep your chin up. Make sure you eat the recommended 8-900 calories a day, you may otherwise lose slower.

I can understand the panic when the weight fails to drop off, I think we've all been there. The trouble is we all know we've had something major done when we are only a few weeks out but the weight doesn't seem to want to come off as fast as we feel it should. I'm just biding my time for now and trying to be patient.

Nagaraj,

You are right. I going to try and stay calm and focus more on my Protein intake. I haven't been writing anything down and today I started doing that, just to make sure I stay withing 800-900 cals. I have my first doctor follow-up today so lets see how it goes. I'll keep you updated.

Thanks again for the words of comfort :001_tongue:

Sury

Congratulations on the fabulous job you're doing with your sleeve. Great weightloss and joining a gym. You ROCK ON!!! :001_tongue:
