Yesterday, I was whining about how my scale was saying I weighed 180.0, but it refused to go below that amount.

One of my friends suggested I cut off a pinky finger. He asked when do we ever use both pinkies at the same time anyway?

And today, my scale gave in and let me know that I weigh 179.4.

Even better -- I still have all my body parts and didn't even get a drastic haircut to make it happen.

I am loving that my scale is moving down again!

It is so crazy how ounces can effect our determination to keep working that sleeve. What a great day, congratulations!

I agree it's all on how you feel and the way your clothes fit. We focus so much on the number we forget that it's just a number and not who we are

For me, today, I was happy to worship the scale. From May to September, I lost 5 pounds total. It was a long long stall, and I stayed on track and kept on keeping on despite what the scale said.

Since Sept. 10, I have lost another 5 pounds, and I am loving the scale again.

I have felt great since I had my surgery in August 2011, but I love stepping on that scale and seeing the numbers go down, down, down. :)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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?

      April Surgery
      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! 😞
