Don't worry, when you finally start it will just drop off of you in incriments. You'll have a few stalls but you'll be ok :)

Thanks, just so excited to start and to stall right out the gate is tough. I lost 10 during my preop but nothing since. Thanks again for the encouragement.

I feel you. Surgery was July 17 and although I've lost a few, nothing like what I expected. Had numerous complications w/ the surgery and can't keep anything at all down, so my body has hit hit starvation mode :( I don't know how to get passed this.

Sorry to hear about your complications. It's frustrating to not see the rewards for our efforts. Of course we must be patient, do we have a choice lol :). Good luck maybe we'll both drop a good amount at the same time :)

I am only a month out. I lost weight the first week, then a stall for 2 weeks. I was so surprised that it would happen so early. However, although slowly, the scale has started to move again. Don't get discouraged. The way I see it, if we eating a lot less than before, and exercising as well, in the long run, it is IMPOSIBLE not to lose weight. It has to happen as the months go by. The best that has helped me is not compare my self to others, and knowing that eventually it will happen.

That happened to me. i lost 10 pounds pre ope. then after surgery i lost 5 pounds by the 7th post op day and then i stalled. so i had to figure out what to do because that just wasnt good.

so i made some changes.

at first i was drinking my Protein shake at 10 pm and i changed that.

i started drinking my Protein Shake no later than 8 pm and if i got hungry after 8 pm i had Jello or sugar free pudding.

then instead of doing 30 minutes of walking a day i began doing 60 minutes of walking per day. since i changed up i have dropped an additional 8 pounds.

i was thinking that once i had the surgery the weight was going to just fall off but thats a misconception you have to exercise and im ok with that

Maybe tweaking a couple of things will help. Make sure you keep the carbs under control. Who knew skim milk had carbs??? Exercise more. My long walks are therapeutic. And drink that Water. I'm STILL struggling with that but the few days I hit it, the scale moved. Hang in there. We can do this!

I am 3 weeks out. I had my surgery on July 16. I weighed twice once a week & the scale never moved. I weighed again & had lost abt 10 lbs. I knw tht its impossible not to loose weight w the amt of food im eating. So dont get discourged, it will come up. Inches are coming off, i can tell in my clothes.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
