oh yes. i am sailing in the same boat...weight keeps fluctuating.... but I have read recently that we loose 10% of our body weight quite fast, then the body takes 6 months to adjust.,,, 6 months is rather long isnt it..

Me too! I lost the first 55 pounds real fast. Now that I have hit 177, my weight keeps bouncing back and forth to 180. If I gain anything overnight, it takes two weeks to lose it again. I am doing all the right stuff: logging, measuring, exercising, very low carb, Water til my eyeballs float, Protein at 70-80. Oh well.......I will hang in there. One of my sisters had a lap band this time last year, and she has done so well that she is unrecognizable now. I would love to get to that point where if I run into one of my former haters and they would not know me. Just for that one evil experience I will stay with the plan. I can't wait! :D

I got out of the 80's to be stuck in the 70's! It gets harder the closer you are to goal I guess. I'm trying to do everything right. Exercising everyday, all the Water I can drink, increased Protein, etc etc. But even stuck at a number, it's better than where I started. Discouraging yes, but we got this!

The close to the finish line, more patience and faith are needed, that as for sure.. I am running a little short on patience these days, though. Lol. These last 10 # are torturous !

Ok everyone....I have finally hit 179 on my digital scale. My other scale shows 3 pounds less but I go by the digital. Over the past week I have upped my Water to 64 ounces. 1 Protein Shake per day and one Protein per day. Had rib eye steak. Less than 20 grams of carbs and it finally worked. Lost 2.8 pounds. I am so excited to see the 70's

      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... :(
