My surgery date was 4/8/15 and my weight has also slowed down. I, too, am able to eat a little more. I've lost a total of 117 lbs and still have 45 lbs to go to get to my goal weight of 180 and it's so hard for me. I'm afraid that I'm done losing because I can't seem to get that scale to budge. Some days I do eat things I know I shouldn't but most of the time I try to stick to my plan, but I know I haven't been doing all that well with fluids and Protein and need to get back on track with that. When I try to be good the scale still refuses to move. I'm getting so that I'm scared to eat or drink anything just to get the scale to finally move but I know that won't help. This is getting frustrating

Thank you @audmac8 I appreciate the kind words! I am determined and so far the shakes aren't so bad. I'm a night time eater that's when I am having issues lol usually don't eat during the day very often so that's the easy part.

Yeah, I'll definitely get my act together because I refuse to believe this is all the weight that I'm gonna lose.

83lbs isn't something to scoff at its an achievement even if it isn't as much as you'd like to loose . Key is to work with your Nut and excersize as much as possible

Today is my Surgiversary and I've officially lost 120.6 lbs. I'm 42 lbs from my surgeons goal and 62 lbs from my dream goal of 160. I'm still stuck and feel defeated. No matter what I do I can't seem to get out of the 220s. Even before I let my weight creep up to 342, I've always been 220. I'm wondering if this is where my weight is meant to be?

One year check in!

I'm a few days late.

What a year this has been. So glad I had this life changing surgery.

H.w. 373

S.w 360

C.w. 225

Went from a size 28 to 13/14

4X shirt to XL

I can't believe how much more energy I have.

I still want to lose another 40 or at least be a size 10 but if I don't that's ok.

Here are my before and after.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
