I seem to be stuck in the 180's for the past few months. My starting weight was 266, my SD weight was 253 and I have about 40ish lbs to go. Surgery was Feb 24. I'm 5'3 and will be 40 in September. Im not sure if a stall this long is normal. BUT I am definitely grateful with how far I've come!!!

Wow you are already in the 180s??? That's fantastic! High weight for me 288, Surgery weight on 2/17 was 258, I'm still stuck at 202! Was stuck at 207-209 for a month, been stuck at 202 now for a few weeks.

Congrats on your loss! I thought about going back to the basics but I'm hardly eating anything now. My restriction is still pretty "tight" so I might not be getting enough calories in. I still have to "remind" myself to eat.

I bought a belt this week! Was on my list of NSVs preop. I also squeezed into a size 8 dress!!! Granted it is stretchy, but the tag has a single digit! Registering the kids for school today. Will see a lot of people that I haven't seen in 3 months. Hoping all goes well. How is everyone doing?

I had surgery on Feb 11th. I started at 262 and have lost 60 pounds. I am stuck at 202 and have been here for over a month. I don't know how to get out of this stall. I started losing hair at 3 months so I increased my red meat and added olive oil to my diet to increase the good fats. Now at 6 months I think the Hair loss has stopped, or at least slowed down. I do have a little bit of shedding. My hair is blonde so it shows up on my clothing if I wear anything dark. I am 59 so I think the age has a lot to do with the slow down in weight loss. I just realized today is my 6 month anniversary. Life is good...now if I could just get back on the losing track again.

My surgery date was 2/25 and I'm down 57 pounds. I'm doing ok for the most part, but I get a one to two week stretch when my stomach is uncomfortable....like now. Anybody else have that problem?

6 months yesterday and have lost 91 pounds. I'm definitely noticing the weight loss slowing down. Frustrating, but I keep reminding myself how far I've come. Starting weight 297, currently 206. Can't wait to get under 200 pounds!! I definitely don't see myself like other people see me and don't like people saying I'm small/skinny (maybe when I'm under 200 I'll feel better).

      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!
