I hope everyone is doing well!

Sorry I have been a bit slack

I have lost 18 kgs and I am at my 12 week mark so I am doing ok.

I am half way there nearly!

Feeling good, should be eating a lot more but just can't stomach more than 3 mouthfuls.

So I am hoping that improves..

Hope everyone is well

Well I am experiencing the week 2/3 stall! No weight gained or lost. I know it's part of the process but still disheartening.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Yes. Stalling has been pretty much the norm for me. Almost 4 mo. out and 47 down but seen to have 1/2 weeks stalls each month. Double down and make sure you're getting all your Water and Protein. Soon your body will catch on and start loosing again. Good luck.

Meant to say we're 1 day apart and 1 pound apart from starting weight. I started at 218 had surgery September 17, 2014 and am now at 147 so I'm down 71 pounds.

I have a question... I was sleeved on September the 15th. I have recently been working out with a trainer for almost two months. We take my measurements weekly. Today we took my measurements on my waist and I went up three inches, but my hips went down an inch. When measuring my waist, he told me that I had the tape in the wrong place, but I didn't Bc it was right across my bellybutton. He said it is lower than where he measures each week and it seemed to be like I was almost to my hip line. So my question is does you bellybutton drop...is this just part of this crazy process and it will all come together at the end? I mean there is such a thing called gravity... Please if anyone has any thoughts or suggestions on my measurements please let me know. I dropped weight this week too... Just confused. Thanks in advance!

I don't think your belly button can move because it's attached to the abdominal wall. Unless you've had a hernia or something. My excess skin kinds sags around it but it hasn't moved yet. Keep up with the exercise and you'll look wonderful. ????

      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!!
