Recommended Posts

My surgery was 5-22-13. I have lost 56 lbs since surgery. 68 lbs till goal. Have been in a stall for a couple of weeks now. Trying to break thru it and still keep my head up. I am happy with my results but don't like the stalls.

I feel the same way. It sometimes gets very discouraging to read all of the really awesome results others have had...though I am SO happy for them all. :) I was sleeved on May 22' date=' and I am down 35 pounds. Not a lot, but I know it's way more than I could have done on my own. I'm currently in the midst of a stall, but I'm hopeful that it will end soon and I will see the scale going down once again.[/quote'] I was sleeved on May 22 too. Yay

Sleeved 5/21

HW 264

1st Appt W 253

SW 237

CW 188

Total weight loss 65 pounds.

Excercise 2.1 miles brisk walking 6 days a week, bicycling 5+ miles 3 times a week.

I have been stuck in between 188-191 for almost a month! Its making me crazy. My eating is good but not perfect, my activity is great. Im just wondering these platueas everyone talks about how long do they last?? I want to lose another 58 pounds which I will work for, but how long should I wait having NO weightloss before I freak out big time?!

That's awesome!! My down time when the husbands gone and the kids are at school is my tough part. It would be easier to KNOW that if you eat some pretzels or drink once a week whether or not you can still hit your goals...is everyone really being that good??

Sleeved May 8th, I'm down 58 pounds since then. I was a lapband revision, and was told that I would lose slower than most because of that, but I seem to be right on target with everyone else. I went from 206 to 148, and from a size 22 down to a 12.

Wow that is so great, how much more if any do you want to lose? For me I always hid my weight well by the way I dressed so even at 250 I was a 22. Now at 188, 190 lol I am just barely a 15/16. I just bought my first pair of jeans at Macys last week. Right now I am picking up my daughter from school and she wants a doughnut!! :/ ahh help.

You all are doing so well. I have been stalled for several weeks. Decide to get back to the site and you have all really inspired me to work harder at my goal!!

You sound like you are doing a great job! 65 pound loss is awesome, congratulations!

I just broke a 6 week stall today. It may have only been a teeny tiny loss but I'm classing it as a loss and a stall breaker.

I don't think there's any set rules for how long they last because everyone's different. I think if you change up something different in your routine it can give you a kick start again.

Why don't you try measuring yourself as I bet you've lost inches if you're working out that much?

I decided to give myself some legit hard work and perfect dieting days. Im always good in the morning, but evenings get rough for me. Today was 3rd day and I did my usual walk and then went on a bike ride to a new trail. Needless to say it was 9 miles uphill! Both ways! My husband is on the naughty list and im on the heating pad but I survived. Anyways, this morning there was a definite drop in the scale! So I decided to put it up until next Saturday ( im a obsessive daily weigher). Weighed in at 187.4 so I will actually be out of the "obese" range in 2 more pounds and just overweight. Lol ill take it!! Good job on breaking your way through. I felt like mine lasted a while too!

      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.

        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.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
