congrats on onederland! isnt that the most awesome feeling?! And im a turtle too, so dont get discouraged! Recently I spend more time in stalls than I do losing.

GB surgery went well, after a couple days I was back to my old self with the exception of lifting. Soooooo much easier than the sleeve!

I do feel good about it. I hovered at 201 for a long long time.

Congratulations on your recovery from surgery. Were you able to get help taking care of your family and animals?

Where is everyone?

I am so annoyed, I have hit a plateau, and i am really trying to stay positive, but I have bounced around the same 2 lbs for over a month now. Only 27 lbs to get to goal and it seems I have stopped. uuugggghhhhh! Are yall still losing?

You've lost so much. You should be proud of yourself. I've lost a couple of pounds this last month but nowhere near what I hoped to lose, of course. A member of my local support group recommended that all of us on a plateau go on a diet that has no carbs whatsoever for a short period of time to see if that breaks the stall. I started that yesterday.

Considering I went back and forth between 174 to 170 for more than 2 months, I too hate plateaus! I finally made it into the 160s, weighing 168 today. So that makes a total of 47 pounds for me. No carbs would be very hard for me to do, but anything is worth a try! I'll be interested in how everyone does in your group. Keep us posted okay?

Hi everyone. Sorry I haven't checked in for awhile. Everything is going great here. Hubby and I are mending the marriage and I am so happy about that. I didn't want to throw away 18 years.

I have stalled off and on with the weight loss and am currently at 234 lbs from my top weight of 331 and the 328 from surgery day. I am so excited to get to under 200 as it's been approximately 17 years since I have been under 200.

I have not had any complications (other than the GB surgery) but that was bound to happen. I have sold all my 4x and 3x clothing on Ebay and made a good amount of money on them.

I too have not been exercising as much as I should. My 12 hour shifts at the hospital and selling Avon has me really pooped lately, but hoping to get my motivation back. How is everyone else doing?

      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?

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
