So, last week I was 202 and today is the big weight in tadaaaa I'm 202????WHAAAT? I felt bad when scale said that. I have never lost nothing at all in a week. Sometimes I loose less than 3 pounds which is my normal loss but not none at all? Plus my birthday is Friday 31 and I promised my self this will be the last year I tell my self I will be less than 200 on my birthday. I feel mad like what the heck I should be down at least a pound! I think maybe because I lifted weights on Monday This happened. Should I do cardio only just so I make my goal? Go on a liquid diet? I had not gone #2 so I I took milk of magnesium yesterday and went this morning but still 202? very upsetting I thought today would be the day I had my camera ready to take a pic of 199 on the scale! I guess I'll wait till Friday and weight again. MAN I'm ANOYED...

Thank you I just really was shocked I had the surgery 5 months ago and every week I lost .this is the first time I lose a single pound. Im very happy with the weightloss and love the way I look now Just was really excited and expecting to be below 200 for the first time in 14 years and didn't expect not to lose at all. It will fall off I know just venting theres no one else that will understand other than you sleevers out there :)

Stalls happen. If you haven't had one in 5 months, consider yourself lucky.

17 pounds a month is amazing!! Your body is probably just recalibrating. You can still lose inches/gain muscle without the weight changing. It will keep going. If this is your first stall you are incredibly lucky. I stalled at 3 weeks post surgery but it eventually caught back up.

Amen to Celebrate the fact that you've not had any stalls, you're doing awesome!! From the 6th month on, I've lost 8 lbs total in 3 months, EIGHT, not much at all, and I'm in a gym 5 days a week 50 min cardio, adding 3 days a week 20 min of weight training. I think our bodies just know when to let go of the weight and it's not when we want it but when it's meant to happen. Frustrating for sure, but 'this too shall pass' as the saying goes. Again, you're doing amazing!!

Congrats on loosing 86 pounds! You are very lucky to not have had any stalls until now. I will be 4 months this week and month 3 only had lost 6 pounds for the entire month. The stall will break - I lost so far this month 11 pounds with a week to go. My Dr told me as long as I average ten (10) pounds a month, I am fine. Continue to follow your eating and exercise plan!

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
