I had an awesome real life victory this week. For the first time in two years I didn't need a seat belt extender on an airplane and the tray didn't hit my belly. I'm down 60 pounds and traveling was actually fun. I even made it up the hills of San Francisco without falling over!!!!

There must be something wrong with me. Everyone else's is losing so much quicker than I am. I've only lost 39lb since may 7z. And yes I'm doing all the right stuff. :( I just want it to work so bad and I get so disheartened when I see everyone's great success stories when it's not happen ending for me.

Sorry about the whine I am really depressed about it.

Sorry thay you are dpressed about this. If you would like to chat about it we can. It may just be your body but believe me your body will lose what it needs lose. 39lbs is a lot of weight in 4 months. That is about 10 lbs per month....Just keep doing what you are doing. I dont know if you work out at all but weightlifting/strength training really helped me start pulling of the pounds.

Sleeved may 7.

37lbs down since surgery date. I am losing a lot slower than everyone here :(

K8ee, don't despair. I'm a slow loser too. I'm at a stall and its ok. As long as we keep losing, we are ok. We didn't gain it overnight.

I have lost 38lbs since May 21st so I too am a lot slower than everyone else but try not to be downhearted we are still losing weight and we will still make it to goal but a little slower and hopefully time for our bodies to get used to the losses. It won't be such dramatic changes but each of us are different and although I do stress when I see how well everyone else is doing compared to me we can't really change how our bodies lose weight if we are following the guidelines which I am.

Me too. I'm right there with u girls

I'm also a slow loser, but I'm working out and eating well, so I have to have hope it'll continue to go down, I've been the same weight for 3 weeks.

Hey...I'm right there with you. My date was 5/20 and I'm down 39# myself. However....I've not been this weight in 22 years! Also, I saw a former colleague today (who I had not seen in a few weeks) and her jaw dropped. I might not be seeing the scale move, but according to her the body/face are showing the change. So, YAY for me! Chin up....as long as the scale is moving down, no matter how slow, it's going down. Which is the direction we want it to move. :-)

I'm a slower loser as well, my surgery was 5/21 and I'm down 35 lbs. I've had a couple of stalls where its been weeks bouncing up and down within the same couple of pounds. Just happy that its going down and since I'm older, early 50's, it might be a blessing so it gives my body time to catch up with the loss. I don't want to deflate to quickly, lol.

Thanks to all the slow losers posting. I welcomed the encouragement. Feels good to know we're not alone.

I do however encourage all the slow losers to keep posting so we can band together or maybe even start a new thread to keep encouraging each other! It's great that everyone's losing and I hope everyone keeps their chins up.

To infinity and beyond!

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      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!
