I am back on the losing side! I got the ok to go off my feeding tube Tuesday and also my drain taken out! YAY! I have lost a few lbs this week and am down to 164.4, just a smidge higher than my lowest weight at the beginning of December! I have about 40 lbs to goal, a little more than half way there. Ready to be back to normal and exercise!

Yay Libbe, that is GREAT news!!!

I forgot to check-in last week, so my update is from the past 2 weeks. I am down 1.8 lbs from 2 weeks ago, weighing in at 203.9 this am. Not a great loss, but I have been dealing with severe Constipation issues, and I am sure that is not helping. I will be 5 months out on Tues 1/24 and have not had one week yet where I didn't lose. I'll take it!

Hope you all are having a fabulous weekend!

After a stall that felt like it lasted an eternity- I am actually down 3 whole pounds this week. It has been forever since I have lost 3 pounds in one week. I am thrilled. 187!! I haven’t seen this weight for more than 10 years.

I almost didn't want to post because I am stuck, stalled, flat out scale not moving stalled at around the 184 mark and have been for almost a month. I have upped my workouts and am walking 4 days a week (about 2.5 miles) I also walked two times one day last week for a total of about 5 miles. I have tracked my foods, etc. and things are just at a standstill. Every morning I wake up hopeful that I will have gone below the 184 point but it is up and down all around that number but never lower than 184. UUGGGH - so frustrating! I keep reading all of the info about waiting stalls out and changing things up which I have been doing but I can't lie - it is extremely frustrating to keep on looking at the same number every day no matter what I do. Hopefully next week there will be a change. I hope you all have a great week!

Hey guys..I forgot to check in on Saturday so here goes... I lost 3.5 pounds this week and finally got under 170! I am 169.5 as of Sunday morning. Yay me! So glad to have a big loss this week. I know it means I will stall here for the next few but I will drop again. I just have to believe in this! I have lost a total of 64.5 pounds during my journey so far. Have a great week!

Libbe - good for you being back on the losing side. I'm very happy that all your complications seem to be over.

My hubby and I went away for the weekend and I ate like a wild woman. Monday morning I weighed in at 194.2 for a loss of .8 pounds. That's the smallest loss yet. I'm kinda bumbed about it. January has not been great for me. I'm trying very hard to get back on track. I do not want to be in the 190s forever. Hoping to post a better number this week!!

I totally understand where you are. We are going to continue to lose though. We CAN beat this!

I am rarely online on the weekends, so I hardly ever update here. I'm glad I caught this thread. I had a pretty dismal loss in December (only 3 pounds), and I quickly doubled that in January. I have stayed where Iam at for more than a week now. I need to up my exercising. I can really tell the difference when I do. Since surgery, I am down 64 pounds and am more than halfway to my goal.

Thanks! I am just really starting to wonder whether my body is going to fight me every step of the way. I can not understand a stall that lasts this long this early out. I do have PCOS and so wonder whether that plays into it at all...

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      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!!
