I had surgery September 13th. I weighed 204 this morning I'm still stuck at 174. I'm crabby. Feel frustrated. I don't eat enuff. I keep forgetting that I should not drink while I eat. I get my feelings hurt because no one seems to notice I've lost 30 lbs. even though I've gone from a size 18 to a size 12 I'm it because my best friend acts jealous and won't even call me any more. I don't enjoy food any more. This is just a bad day and it to shall pass. Thanks for listening to me whine!

Doesnt matter what other ppl notice or dont notice...its if you notice and how you feel about yourself. You look great. Comparing your before pic to your profile pic, there is a huge difference. All that matters is how you feel about yourself and all that goodness will shine out.

I am scheduled November 6th....scared as hell! but I have to do this to save my life.

God Bless

Thank you! I too did this for my health. Diabetes sleep apnea high blood pressure cholesterol . I'm 51 and I was following my moms foot steps and she died at 62. Needless to say I was scared. I'm off all my meds!

I just now went to my skinny cloths closet and more than half of them fit! I'm doing the snoopy dance now!

I've found woman in general are just plain mean when they see you have taken the steps to improve yourself. That's okay! Good luck with your surgery ill be watching for your post! Thanks again.

Yes keep positive and remember mostly everyone has this stalls also think maybe your body needed a little break 30 pounds in two months its alot to handle but eventually you will start loosing again. I'm sure people do notice your weight loss they are just jealous about it and don't want to tell you cause they don't want to make you feel good but as long as you see it in the scale and in your clothes thats all that matters and keep it up cause your doing great you even got off your meds:)))))))

Yes it does have its ups and downs and sometimes you just need other people to tell your that your doing great and reassure you that it will all be worth it at the end. As of for me I'm almost four weeks out still trying to figure stuff out and yes I've been in a stall for a week now but I just try to not think about it and when ever I have a concern I just go on this web site cause I really don't know anyone that had weight loss surgery that can help me and its great its help me stay positive and helps me better understand this journey. So lets keep focus and positive:)

      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! 😞

      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.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
