How big were you at your highest if you don't mind my asking. My dr says I'm loosing too slow and I'm kinda stuck. I'm a little over 4 months out and have lost about 65 pounds. I've been fluctuating. I've also been working out and eating right. I'm just kind o depressed right now.

How big were you at your highest if you don't mind my asking. My dr says I'm loosing too slow and I'm kinda stuck. I'm a little over 4 months out and have lost about 65 pounds. I've been fluctuating. I've also been working out and eating right. I'm just kind o depressed right now.

That pic was 2 and 1/2 yrs ago. I was about 274. I'm 5 1/2 months out from my pre surgical weight of 237. Now I'm at 83# down. I'm currently 154. 26 lbs to go if I want my original goal of 130. But I think I'll be good at 140 or between the two.

I stall and working my butt off at the gym breaks the stall. I will hop on the treadmill for at least half an hour between 4.2 and 4.5 mph. I'll do weights there if I have time. Sometimes I do Mari Windsors Buns and thighs Pilates!!!!! love Pilates.

I had a month stall where I went up and down a pound that month. I think the stalls are just allowing our bodies to bounce back and recover from the weight loss. Don't let not losing get to you. I did at first but it is a stress that I didn't need in my life so I let it go. I thought I was a slow loser. I wished I would have recorded the weight lose each month. But I know the first month I lost 20. At 3 months I believe I was 54 down. So I don't think 65 at 4 is too off track from many of us. I hope that helps.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
