@@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.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
