@@Kimmey16. Look at the posts regarding embracing the stall - it's common at 3 weeks post-op. Don't worry about what the scale says - if you're getting your Protein and Water in then you'll lose.

Yea, I have read it but I just wish it would go by.. I ready to feel and look better. These 3 weeks have been a real bumpy road.. A lot of sickness..

Wow! You look AMAZING!! Have you had to have any plastic surgery? I am 51 and know I will need abdominoplasty, breast lift, arms and legs done by the end of this journey!

I have NOT. Not yet. Haha

I am 35, I was prayyyyying that I wouldn't

But guess my skin isn't bouncing back the best it should.

BUT-I am healthy. I feel amazing.

And I'm not really that concerned about it

I'm learning to love myself, including my flaws.

My stretch marks and hanging skin, for now, are a constant reminder of WHERE I came from.

I'm ok with it. I have insecurities without a doubt, but nothing a tight tank can't hold in, haha.

But I would need my upper thighs lifted and stomach. And breast augmentation would be wonderful, I just need to find a way to pay for it all hahahha!

But for now, I'm just loving being able to shop, not be sweating 24/7 and to actually MOVE!

Do whatever makes you happy with yourself!

Everyone's pictures are truly inspiring!!????

I have actually lost only 13 lbs since surgery (3 weeks out)and I'm trying to figure out why an I not losing. I have my Protein and right now I'm only on soft food but my weight don't seem to be moving.

I still have an old pic of me at my highest weight on the front of my phone so that keeps me motivated but I just wish my scale would move.. Lol

It's way too early to worry. At 3 weeks I would have said "I've only lost 17 lbs". But that's because I lost 17 lbs in about 10 days then went into a stall. My stall was 14 days and yet I have still lost 25 lbs in the first month. I'll take it.

That is still good at least you are losing but I'm at a stall seem like. But I'm just going to pray and stay focus. Sometimes I question myself did I make the right decision and I hate to feel like that.

Kimmey16... take a laxative. Ducolax to get you to move past the stall. The stalls are normal.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
