Hi all,

I have always been a pretty slow loser. And ive hit a crazy stall this past month. im hoping my 1.5 lb loss is gone forever, but we will see. Ive been feeling a bit discouraged so i put 2 photos together that showed me before, and a current photo 4.5 months out. I still have a llooonngg way to go, my face doesn't seem to wanna give, but im hoping ill lose in my face soon. But wanted to share with you all, my VSG family....hope all is well

Awww thank u!! Its been a slower process for me, and sometimes I have to see the comparison side by side. Thanks for the kind words :). Most of my weight loss was post surgery. I lost about 7lbs pre -op. Thanks again for the encouragement! :) hope u both are well!

You will break this stall (me too, I will break mine :-) ) I think you are doing awesome!!!! Congratulations!!!

Awww thank guys. you seriously are making me tear up. Because its been so frustrating thru this stall and i sometimes i just don't see it. I am very thankful.I can actually play with my son and walk around Disneyland forever without getting short of breath. For that i am sooo very thankful. Thank you for the sweet words, really they mean so much to me.

Lele: how are you feeling? Hoping you are doing well and that recovery is quick and easy for you. COngrats on your surgery.

Mnbsleeve: thank you so much friend. you really made my heart smile :) BTW my hair is falling out like crazy!!! IVe always had a lot of hair, so thank goodness for that. But i feel like a dog shedding everywhere i go. I do take Biotin. ive noticed that i still lose a lot of hair when i brush, but its not as much. It was coming out in clumps . It looked like big ol'spiders in my shower. :) But thank you. I hope my hair stays :)

love you guys!

Haha, I don't think you're a slow loser -- but that's because you're losing at the same rate I have been, and I think I'm doing awesome. :biggrin: Seriously, you look great and there's a MAJOR difference between your two photos, including in your face (I also have a round face and took a while to lose the extra chins LOL). FWIW, I stalled for two months from month six to eight and then started losing again. It can't fail if you keep to your good practices, the sleeve totally works. You're doing great!! :smile1:

PS: My hair still looks like thin wispy crap LOL, I hope it starts to improve one of these days.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
