Great job! I can imagine the self confidence and pride that you have in yourself. I'm only 8 weeks post op, and I pray for the day that I reach my goal weight.

You will continue to be an inspiration to so many others!

God Bless You!

Nice work! Did you tell people at work? My surgery is this Wednesday and I still cant decide if I should tell people at work

Thanks, @@Jovie62! Yeah, I've told anyone who asks what I was doing. But it was made easier by the fact that two of my co-workers had bari surgery a year before I did. If you follow the rules, it will be obvious pretty soon that you are losing a lot of weight very quickly. But no matter who I've told, I've always received a positive reaction. My trick is to enthusiastically explain the different procedures and why I made my decision (including the fact that I feel like I've started a diet every Monday morning of my life for over 45 years.) People are fascinated by the surgery, and after they hear about it, most are supportive, or at least understand what it's all about. Good luck with your surgery!!! You're making a wonderful decision for your health!

Where is the three week stall post? I can't seem to find it.

Here you go, @InItToWinIt2015...

Congratulations! You have reached The Dreaded Week-3 Stall. It's perfectly normal, and just about all of us have suffered through it. You're not crazy, and your doctor didn't screw up. In fact, you might not lose any weight for two weeks or even longer. But don't worry – after that, the weight will start falling off if you stick to your program. And, the inches will continue to come off even while the scale isn't budging. Here's a good article that explains why it happens and why we all have to go through it. Hang in there. Pretty soon it'll be in the rear-view mirror and you'll be dropping weight again!

(Apologies to BP regulars who have seen this repeatedly, but it's a big deal to those who are going through it!)

Thanks so much! I'm just really enthusiastic about this process and hope it can be contagious. But everyone has to realize that the the first year is the easiest part of the journey, so it's best to follow the rules and lose all the weight you can during the "honeymoon" period. Plenty of time to learn how to eat "normally" from a lower platform. Good luck!!!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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!!

      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...
