Hi there. Looking for a bit of advice/encouragement. I am 8 months post-op and I have been at a stall for the last 3 months. While I have not gained any weight, I have only lost 9 lbs during that time frame. Which is drastically low from where I started. Any suggestions on how to jump start my numbers again? I'm eating about 1300/1400 calories a day, juicing, great Water intake, boot camp 2 days a week, walk/run 2 days a week for 2 miles. I am not frustrated yet, but really want to reach my goal weight (135) by December 1st. My surgery weight was 207, my current weight is 159.6. Thanks.

This thread is very informational. Thanks for that. I will be going to some kaiser informational in like a week. I hear the process here in California is different than other places as far as getting approved. My doctor said i shouldnt have any approval issues. So thats good. The whole Hair loss thing i am worried about. I have really thick hair and like it the way it is lol. Anyone else have the southern california kaiser that can tell me the process etc? Thanks.

Love this thread! I'm six months post-op. Down 59 pounds, only lost 8 the last three months. Not happy with the numbers, and really really trying to not let the scale dictate my success. My goal is weight, size and a pair of jeans I've saved from the only time I ever felt truly in shape.

Anyone else have THAT article of clothing, outfit that was your thing?

Mine is a sheer summer blouse and my fav white fitted pants. I wore them after my last pregnancy 2 yrs ago, so hopefully I get into the pants in the next 45 days or so

I moved recently and purged my closet of all old clothes and clothes I don't wear. The only things I own right now are things that I wear. When I drop a decent amount of weight I will have to have the good pieces tailored and buy some new items.

Style are so different, my older smaller clothes I was hanging onto were pointless. I was never going to wear them, and when I am smaller I am going to want new current clothes.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
