Mine was July 11 and just today started seeing the scale move, 26lbs in 6 weeks...after a 3 week stall. I changed from working out in evening to morning and added more Protein.< /p>

Adding in the Protein helps a lot. I am 10 weeks out and stopped taking the Protein Drinks in the morning, I experienced a two week stall and decided to start back. I see the scale is moving(praise the Lord). I was ready to pull my hair out, and I had to remember all that my body is getting adjusted to. Try to keep your cool and stay off the scale. I know it is hard, just remember you are not gaining!!!! Congratulations!

I stalled in weight but I notice I also got smaller at the same time. I'd check my measurements if I were you.

I'm stalled too at 31/2 weeks out and it's frustrating because I'm eating so little and have been very active. Ahhhh I just want to scream.

I was stalled for about 2 weeks, 2 weeks post-op. It was so frustrating. Then when I got to eat full liquids, it was if the scale started moving up. I freaked out and called my doc. They said it's normal and it will pass. As of yesterday, I finally started to see the scale move and it's such a great feeling. I was sleeved Aug 6 and I think it's more inches off my waist then the pounds that's keeping me motivated.

I just recently Stalled out at 9 weeks out... Today, weighed in at the doctor's office and I was officially below 200 lbs!!! You just have to keep telling yourself that the scale is just a number, and that the non-scale victories are much more important! For me, I recently had to go shopping for my cousin's wedding a week and a half ago because nothing I had fit me anymore. To top that off, For the first time in over 10 years, I did not have to shop in the Plus Size section! I was excited to say the least.

Thank you for sharing this! I thought I was the only one! I have been so upset, I have had like a 2 week stall, and really to scream, cry, and pull my hair out!! I even went up two pounds, which really did make me cry! I am going to try to add more protien and work out more. Suzjag, girl, I want it now too, more like yesterday even! LOL Oh when we're all skinny, we'll look back and laugh, right? Hopefully. Best wishes everyone!

Remember just when you get disgusted, measure your inches lost. I always check out my inches lost when the scale isn't moving. It's a huge motivator! And I will say it again, because I need to hear it too: we didn't get this way over night, it takes time to get it off...patience grasshopper ..it will come.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      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.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        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.
