Oh that sucks when you are doing all you can to make the scale go down. I am only 19 post op so by far no expert but I'm whining about "only" loosing 20 lol. I saw another girl on here tonite who had her surgery the same day as me that has lost 30 pounds. So we all are going to the same place (skinnyville LOL) we just may not all take the fastest route. It just depends on your starting weight, how much Water and Protein your able to get in etc. Plus stalling in the first cpl weeks is super common and frustrating. Its really hard not to weigh every day, but try just every cpl days and you may be more encouraged by those numbers. Think long term. In a month from now you will be so happy with your numbers I'm sure :)

So are you saying that you have lost 21 pounds? In one month? I am still awaiting my insurance approval but, I know that there is no way that I could ever lose 11 pounds or 21 pounds in one month..

Keep your head in the game.. You are doing amazing and I know in a couple weeks you are gonna be singing a different tune!!!!

Good luck sweetie!

In my mind I justify my slower weight loss with giving my skin more time to shrink! Don't know if there is any science behind it but it makes me feel better, especially when my hubby is losing super fast (in my mind he is going to have a lot of loose skin! Lol). We went and saw my family and they were all oohing and ahhing over his "drastic" loss and barely said anything about mine even though I had not seen them since my surgery 2 months ago. Men suck...lol.

Honestly though, it took me longer to gain all of this weight than it is going to be to lose it, even if it is just 1-2 lbs a week...that can be over 100 lbs in a year!

      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!!
