Hi Everyone I haven't been on here for a long time. It's mainly because I've been discouraged. I'm now 9 months out and have only lost 2 pounds in the last 3 months. It's like my body has gotten used to the small amount of food that I'm eating and won't let go of anymore. I probably eat 1000-1200 calories a day. I also exercise daily but it won't budge. Is there anyone else out there who is experiencing this as well? I'm really down about it.

Hi, it'll be 10 months for me this week. I've lost two pounds this past month and only 40 overall to date. I'm hardly a success story! Haha

My 9 month check up was me at 200.1 and my doctor was so surprised I hadn't been easily under 200 yet. So they of course were thinking--- well she's not going on our success wall-haha

The way I look at it is that I've still lost 40lbs this year and nothing else I was trying would have done that for me.

I hope another -40 will be in my future and if it takes another year, well so be it! At least there is a possibility it'll happen more than ever before.

I have had a lot of issues in my way, horrible acid reflux, gallstone attack that damaged my pancreas and then resulted in removal of my gallstone. (omg pay attention to pains and get checked ASAP as it was the worst experiment of my life and 8 days in hospital)! And I broke an elbow in a fall and I'm just simply tired all the dang time, so it's been a rough year but every month I think it's better so I'm guessing I'm a slow healer as well as loser;)

Take it easy an just work at what u know you need and you'll reap the rewards!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
