I'm pretty frustrated but trying to keep my head up. I'm 9 weeks out today and down 33 pounds since surgery. I've had 3 weeks with no loss at all, a 2 week stall that started around 3 weeks and now I've been stalled for the past week. It's really hard not to get down about it.

Eta: Also meant to mention that I lost 14 pounds in the first week. So really I've only lost 19 pounds in 8 weeks.

Fairly regular. I feel like I'm doing everything right and don't know what I could change, so it's just frustrating. I eat mostly chicken and shrimp, get 80-100g of Protein a day, and average 600-700 calories a day. My surgeon said I should be getting more calories so I forced myself to eat more these last 4 days and averaged 800-900 calories. I ended up showing a .4 gain at my weigh-in this morning. (I know it's not a true "gain" and more just a fluctuation.)

Im looking for people who are around the same surgery date as myself..July 27. I feel like im all alone at my 11 weeks journey. I have noone to compare progress to, noone to lok to to see if im at the point im supposed to be at. This is driving me nuts.

Ive lost 52lbs in 11 weeks, so im happy but i just need someone to talk to.

I was sleeved on July 20th. That's pretty close to your date. I haven't weighed in a couple of weeks but two weeks ago I was at 49 lbs down. I avg about 2 lbs a week. I'm halfway to goal. Does that help?

I was sleeved july 11. I'm down 37 lbs and have about 23 to go. My bmi was 30 when I started and I'm down to 19.6!! Once I got into the normal bmi range, my loss slowed down significantly. I'm working out lots so the muscle gain is reflected on the number on the scale too so I try to focus on how I look and feel rather than that pesky number on the scale.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
