I am feeling super fat this week. I have been able to eat a little more and I feel so full. Not to pain points- I am happy but. No movement on scale. I'm sad. Haven't had a stall since first 2 wks after surgery. Was 9 wks on tues. Down 43 lbs. 24.75in. Is this normal? What is normal anymore???

We have the same exact date. I am also down 43 pounds since surgery. My weight loss has been a little different I have had several stalls. My starting weight was 238 I am 5'7. Current weight is 195. I would love to see more days of losing but I can't complain 43 pounds in 9 weeks is good for me. Unfortunately I still have at least another 50 to lose. Also I always stall right before and during my period, maybe you are at that time in your cycle?

Thank you Jess I took that pic jan 10. I started at 246 and am at 203. I've been trying to workout and do more. I just feel naughty for eating when I wasn't befor ya know. I also just figured out stuff I could et without getting sick! Salads are my fav! Surgery was nov 27. I would be happy if I didn't lose another lb. 43lb is more than I ever lost before. I just can't see 40 more going away ya know? Seems to good to be true!

My date was nov 19th and I've lost 41 since. I really had hoped for more and I compare myself to others all the time:( I try to remember that I'm way better than I was 10 weeks ago and there is still much work to do so I just keep after it with blind faith that it will come. And I agree I stall out around my period or even pack on a couple pounds.

Ditto ditto ditto except I'm at 39 pounds. We even have the same date. Sigh

My date was 11/20. I also understand. I feel like I am behind losing weight from everyone else. But actually I think we are all doing about the same. I am down 45 lbs, and wish it were more, but I decided as long as I am not gaining I am happy. :)

      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!!
