9 weeks out, 57 lbs down!

looking great..have you been on a steady downward slope or did you have any plateaus? Is 57 lbs with preop diet or just since surgery?

Thank you @DreamsComeTrue15. 12 lbs was during the week before surgery preop diet and the rest during.

I've hit two stalls. The first was at about 3 weeks exactly. It lasted me about two weeks.

The second one I have just finished and lasted me THREE weeks, yuppp three weeks... Smh. It sucked. I was beginning to think maybe I've just hit where my body is comfortable with. I was so afraid that I wasn't going to meet my goal of (125) and I wasted time, money and surgery for nothing. But I remembered my surgeons advice telling me, if you get into a stall, boost your Protein by 20+ grams and add exercises to your routine mix it up you'll be out of it... Did it for two days and now I am a believer that you must mix up your norm. I lost two lbs just by doing that.

Starting weight, 240's

Sugery Date, 228

Today, 183

GOAL, 125 (never been in my adult life).

Age, 30

5' 3/4"

Onajourney,

Were you exercising and increasing Protein, and Water to lose the 76lbs or did it just slide off?

3 1/2 months wow!! Did you stall at the beginning at all??

Yes I have had 3 stalls so far

The first 2 lasted about a week and a half. I'm currently in my third stall and this one is the longest so far. Been almost 2 1/2 weeks. Still doing the same things so I'm hoping I'll pick up the pace again soon. It is frustrating!!

There is already a huge long thread dedicated to before and afters.. but it is such a fun topic I don't mind repeating!!

This is what losing 150 pounds does for you! A girlfriend of mine said the sweetest thing "I didn't know you had a teenage daughter"...LOL. I do feel like I look younger being trimmer.

This was taken in December i believe - I think I was 20# away from goal,back when I was a bit curvier. I was feeling pretty good, but, I like how I look better now even if my T&A disappeared since this photo was taken.

This is my before picture at over 300#. I don't have much to say about it but I KEEP looking at my befores to remind myself how far I have come.
