I was 239 preop, today i am 173, but keep in mind its been 6 months i was sleeved May 10, 12. You do have stalls, and more stalls, dont get frustrated. Take your measurements. I have went from a tight size 18 jeans to a comfortable size 10! Keep your eye on the rewards and Celebrate those non scale victories!!!

It's completely normal. People always think they aren't losing fast enough. Don't make the mistake of trying to pre-determine how fast you should be losing. And don't compare yourself to others. Stalls are a normal part of the process. I know it's frustrating, but the sooner you embrace that, the happier your journey will be.

      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! 😞
