Hi guys. I had surgery on February 6 and lost 16 pounds in the first week and a half. Then I didn't lose weight at all for 3 weeks. Finally in march I started losing weight again and I am now down 33 pounds!! It feels so good. I work as a corrections officer and my smallest pants I had when I first started working are now loose on me. I just want to say dont get discouraged. I was majorly and now I am so so happy. Hang in there!!

Awesome! I am relieved to hear that, I lost 17lbs the first two weeks (surgery 3/14), then a pound here and a pound there, I couldn't believe it since I am eating about 12 oz of food everyday (broken into 3 meals). Your information calmed me down alot! Thanx!

Hi. We are the same height and near the same starting weight too and the same age! I am 8 months out and have lost 79 pounds so far. I dont want you to get discouraged with these little stalls. They are going to happen along the way. Just accept them and know in the back of your mind that you will keep losing and get to your goal! I am 20 pounds from mine and that is nothing compared to 100 that I started with. Hang in there!

Thank goodness ! I am two weeks out and have only lost 5 lbs !!! THIS concerns me. Maybe I will lose more soon ?!?! I am soooooo discouraged right now. I just started some actual "food" today so maybe I need some in order to lose some weight because I functioned on liquids for two weeks ?

Hey. It was easier for me when I started eating solid food. I swear I was able to eat so much more on puréed foods. Don't worry. It'll show soon. I was the same way.

Oh I'm glad. It'll show soon. Everyone told me they went on stalls but I seemed to hi mine really early. Then all of a sudden it broke and I just keep losing weight now. Its like 7 pounds that first week after the stall. Then two pounds a week. This week I lost 5. It gets better

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
