I lost 20 stinking pounds. It's going on 2 months. I don't know if I'm expecting too much or what! But I thought it would have been more. My others fit like crap. I can't really go buy anything new bc I don't want to have to keep doing that. What to do.

My Dr. said 10 lbs. a month. It may not seem like much now, but that's 120 pounds in a year!

About the clothes: is there a consignment store or Value Village near you? Maybe you could find a few used things to get you by.

You are doing fine - have you ever lost 20 lbs on any other diet in 2 mos. ?? and kept it off. Your body needs time to adjust - then you'll lose more......

I shopped at Walmart, Khols and consignment shops. A year ago I was a size 18. Now I'm a size 2-4.

Thank you :)

I had the 3 butterflies tattooed over the surgical site from the sleeve. The vine tattoo across my belly is from a Tummy Tuck in 2007. I have not had any surgery since weight loss. You can't really tell in the pictures but I have loose skin in my arms and breast. My heaviest was 240. I was 215 on DOS. My weight is stabilized around 143.

Awwww thank you skinny girl :)

You will get to your goal. I remember reading posts and wishing I would lose weight quicker. But before I knew it, I was dropping sizes like crazy. That was the fun part, belting my larger pants ;)

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
