So I weighed in this morning at 199. My surgery weight was 225. I feel like I haven't lost enough weight. I'm discouraged about making it to my goal..I know I still have a long road ahead I'm just worried.

Congrats on hitting Onderland.

You're averaging 3.7 pounds a week - I think that's fantastic! Keep up the good work.

I think we get hung up on comparing ourselves to others - no good can come from that. You're body is going to lose this weight at it's own pace and often times it's not as fast as our brains would like it to. As long as you're following your plan, listening to your doctor and exercising - it will come off.

Enjoy your success - that's 26 pounds gone forever. Never to be heard from again!

Hang in there, sweetie. You got this.

I had surgery 10/28. My start weight was 227, ht 5'8. I currently weigh 195. I had a 2 week long stall. Finally loosing again. I'm probably going to be a slow loser, but that's ok with me. Only 50 more lbs till I reach my goal. Good luck!

I'm in the same boat - and was feeling like a slower loser but I just keep in mind that at least it's still going down and not stopping or going up. I'm 5 weeks out - started preop diet at 259.9 - surgery at 249.9 - currently 227.

I will say that I can probably do more gym time - that would help :)

I feel ya! And my misery loves your company. :-)

Sleeved on 10/17. Down 28 pounds. It's been a slow go for me. I've already hit two serious stalls and a couple mini stalls. It is frustrating, but I am keeping the faith that it is working and will continue to work. I will admit, I do compare my weight loss with others and it leads to no good. I've always been a slow loser and it looks like I will continue to be a slow loser. Hang in there! And I will be a hanging in there with you.

      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!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
