I am absolutely stuck at 181 and I am so tired of planning what to eat. I really need to push to get down to 150 by Feb 2014, but I've been so tired lately that I have no energy after work. I guess I'll just have to carry on and wait this out.

Today makes 8 months. I've slowed way down and I'm okay with that. I hit my clothing size goal but I'm still 30-45lbs from my weight goal.

I feel you! 20 lbs from goal and the scale's not moving.

Mines moving but I had to up my calories and carb cycle a bit. I need to lose at least another 15 before February to have 80% excess weight loss. That's the going number for someone who started out with my BMI. My surgeon said I wouldn't get lower than 60% EWL, I can't wait to go to my apt since I'm at 70% now. ....it's a long road but I'm here for the duration.

It must feel awesome to be 20lbs from your goal. I can't wait to reach that.

What are the expected percentages for different stages?

I.E. 3 months, 6 months, 12 months?

76 pounds gone since Feb 27th. Yes the scale is moving very slowly these days. Still only 44 pounds till goal I am hoping that I will reach my goal by my "surgiversary" Feb 2014.

Don't panic! I lost almost nothing last month, but have resumed losing the past couple of weeks...(2 lbs a week). Keep the faith, it will happen!

My scale hasn't moved in a month either! I was worried then I went to see how close I was to fitting into a pair of jeans I had bought months earlier (size 7) and they fit!!! I guess the inches shed off while the scale doesn't move....

Don't feel bad. I've been stuck at 98-99lbs and can't get to my first goal of 100lbs down. It has been one month with no change, but I am being patient because I know it will happen eventually.

Sorry, I'm just seeing this. The paper I go off of is 60% at 6 months, 70% at 9 and 80% at one year. It varies depending where you started. If I remember right it's for BMI over 40.

It sounds trivial when someone say's "Hang in there, it will happen", The fact is, it DOES happen. As long as you are watching what you eat, losing weight is inevitable. I finally broke my stall a couple of weeks ago, which was almost a month. I stay away from fast food, fried foods and refined sugar like the plague. During a three week span, I lost a total of 2 lbs but my clothes continued to get smaller.

I've been watching what I eat since my surgery but my workout had been interrupted by my schedule from 5-2 days a week. I have been working longer hours to prepare things for being out following surgery next week. Maybe that has something to do with my lack of loss. I went for my surgical clearance and the doctor said "you look great" how much have you lost! I told him 99lbs and he put 100lbs lost on my chart and told me he won't tell anyone.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      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!
