I'm right there with you. Well not really, I'm at a slower pace. I'm 10 wks out and just reached 40lb mark. 35-40 more to go! We can do it!

Hey, I'm 10 weeks as well but only down 33 pounds. Wish it was more and instead if only gardening and walking I've been swimming today trying to burn more calories. Hopefully the scales will reflect my efforts lol.

That is about where I am as well. 28 pounds since surgery on April 21. I expected it to be a little faster, but as long as it keeps going down, I am trying not to worry about it. Thanks for sharing.

I am 5 days out and think the word only should be dropped. I'm proud of each of you! You have committed to a very difficult undertaking (if a say so myself :)and you are half way there so in 8-10 weeks if you keep with your current pace you will reach your goal. Congratulations! !

I'm happy to say I'm 8 weeks out and down 35lb. I'm finally at a point where my co- workers who see me daily are noticing. Yesterday I wore a brand new dress ( size 18- down from 22) and EVERYONE had something to say. All good of course. It's amazing what wearing cloths in the right size instead of your old baggies can do :) I'm so excited for this journey! I wish I would have done it sooner!

Ordered some new work pants and thought I would be brave and order the next size down too Woohoo... The size 10 fit! Someone even complimented my butt considering it is so flat from sitting on it all day. It is pretty exciting when the right size clothes fit!

I agree with kissifur. I think we should all stop saying only. I know this is the very first time I've ever lost 35 pounds in 10 weeks. We have to remember that wls is not a quick fix but a tool. We still have to do our part. I know I'm doing my part and I am happy with any amount of weight loss and so should you all. We can and will reach our goal weights....but only if we put in time and effort. Don't forget to have patience! I wish you all the best of luck and keep uo the great work!

Yes! I had to up my protein/calories to convince my body I was not trying to kill it. I have lost 5lb the past 10 days.

Lots of people talk about the dreaded three week stall. Sounds like some of you maybe experiencing. I haven't got there yet, only 9 days out. But I've read about it on here, around 3 weeks post op lots of people reach a stall in the weight loss. I don't know why...

I am also 7 weeks out, I was stuck for almost 3 weeks then I weighted and 5lbs were gone! It's normal don't worry just keep eating healthy and exercising. I think the exercise is what helped me to get out of that stall! Good luck

      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!

      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!!
