Quit thinking negative thoughts,we have to reset our thoughts to yes I can& yes I will! I had same thought day before surgery &Indian 10 lbs in 5days & I will have stalls but won't get upset @myself &neither should you.

You will lose weight everyone does. Some faster then others but the weight comes off.

Of course you'll lose weight. Think positive thoughts. You'll do great. Follow your program. Don't obsess about the scale and ask for help when you need it. And don't get too caught up in the success stories posted here. Everyone is different. I've "only" lost about 70 pounds in almost eight months. But I feel awesome and am still losing and am very happy to say goodbye to those pounds and SO MANY inches.

I actually do thinking about that too. Or that I will not lose as much as I want.

When I hit my three week stall I thought to myself that this wasn't going to work but I've lost like 20lbs since then. It works I you work it.

I've only known one lady who doesn't appear to be losing weight. She only took a week off work after surgery and was eating fast food (hamburgers and fries and soda) after 2 weeks. YOU MUST DO WHAT YOUR SURGEON AND NUTRITIONIST TELL YOU. If you do, you will lose.

I think most of us had this thought at some point pre-op...but now I'm 5 months post op and can say yes it does work! As long as you follow the rules and use common sense you'll be fine :). Some lose fast, some lose slow, not everyone will be a size 2, but if we do as we're supposed to we will be healthier (which, really, isn't that the goal???). It's so much easier when you're not starving to death all the time. Eating a taco and being full instead of eating 3 tacos with Beans and rice and chips and still wanting more....it's absolutely amazing. Such a gift an amazing opportunity that we have been blessed with!

I had that fear at 1st. When I hit my 1st stall even tho I knew it was coming..it scared me. Nearly 3 months out now and I feel amazing and think its tho best thing I've done for myself!! I think we all have the worry and insecurity. I tell myself now it's in my hands cause I keep working harder with my exercise and religiously log everything I put in my mouth. I am slower than most perhaps but I think it's going great!!!

Im so excited and know it's gonna work but there's just that little fear that, what if it doesn't? But I'm sure in a few months I'll be telling others how well it works instead!

It doesn't sound possible to be full after eating so little. I keep thinking wow, that's all I get to eat later....I'm going to be starving. We'll see...2 days away...just getting nervous, I suppose.

      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!!

      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
