I had my surgery on 4/22/15 and it was a tough recovery but finally back on my feet and doing great. I had my gallbladder out at the same time. But the weight loss has been great. I am down 30lbs. But for the past 2.5 weeks I have been on a stall and I don't know what to do. It's kind of upsetting and don't know what to do. ????

I have not had my surgery yet, I am schedule for July 28th, but I feel your pain. I have been stuck at the same weight for about 3 weeks now and I don't feel like I'm doing anything differently. I'm still walking several times a week and trying to stick to the eating plan. I'm told that if you just stick with the plan one day the scale will suddenly start to move again. Hang in there and don't get discouraged. Continue to follow your plan and you'll reach your goal, you've come too far to give up now.

Good Luck,

Alicia

You are me, I had my VGS on 4/22/15 and I so have lost 30 pounds. My body is fighting me all the way but I will not give up. I feel great, losing inches, attending exercise classes, and weight training. This will be a long journey but I'm up for the ride. My body fat is half my weight. Let's enjoy the ride together and do a 90 plan and see where we will end. Just keep doing you

dear determined2b,

I am almost 14 months out and about 6wks past a 4 and 1/2 month long stall! not fun!!!! I decided to stay focused and ride it out with as much grace as I could muster...it worked. I have started losing about a pound per week which is about what I was losing...or up to two pounds per week.... I lose very slowly due to no exercise. I was bedridden for over 5 yrs just before my surgery...april 15, 2014. my 46 yr old son died and 11 months later my 45 yr old son-in-law also passed away. I know absolutely these two boys are with the Lord along with four other children I have lost. if you're interested in my story, e mail me at kmre2291@yahoo.com and i'll talk with you about it. my precarious health broke completely, thus no energy, constant debilitating level pain. but now I'm up and going nearly full speed ahead! I am feeling the best I have EVER felt and I have passed birthday number 74!! I have lost 84 pounds and think I want to drop at least 22 more. I'm enjoying fun, new SMALLER clothes...down to an 8-10 top and bottom. side benefits to the surgery...not the weight loss, but the surgery, is that I no longer have type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure or incontinence.

you hang in there. know your body is on your side and WILL lose the weight as everything adjusts.

blessings,

Karen in the woods of Alaska

      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...

      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?
