I am new here and am in the submission for approval stage. Hoping to have surgery 12/28!! I haven't met anyone in person who has had WLS.

Can you post your first couple of months losses so I can see what is possible?

Thank you so much!!

12 weeks out and 63 pounds down

Go ahead and compare to me.... You won't be disappointed.

5 days up 11 pounds from surgery day.

11 days Weighed the same as surgery day.

6 weeks postp lost 17 pounds

7 weeks gained 3 pounds

10 weeks back to 17 pounds lost

12 weeks lost 25 pounds postop.

As you can see, stalls and even gains are normal. Also notice that I only weighed myself 6 times in the first 3 months. scale numbers DO NOT MATTER. Just stay on plan, STAY OFF THE SCALE, embrace the NSVs and have fun!!!!

THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you! You just made my day

I'll be 4 weeks post op on Wednesday

I'm 12 weeks post op sleeve and it's done me good to read all your posts. I was in the post op euphoric phase having lost steadily and slowly with no problems or stalls until a couple of weeks ago. I was 203lbs SW and am down to 173lbs and for the first time I have hit a stall. I'm hitting my protein and water targets, walking around 3-5 miles a day, but I've ground to a halt as far as getting the poundage off my frame. I use My Fitness Pal so am tracking what is going in and know that I am doing everything exactly right. I make every meal from fresh ingredients (bumped into my GP in the supermarket yesterday and she commented on my extremely healthy trolley load!). However, I'm well and truly stuck scale wise. On the other hand, a pair of jeans that were just a wee bit too snug a couple of weeks ago are now almost comfy so I know that things are changing in my body that I have no control over. I feel wonderful and healthier than I have for years but I really want to see the scales moving in the downward direction again but I've decided that I'm going to stay off them for a couple of weeks. I have to keep reminding myself that I didn't gain all my excess weight overnight so it ain't going to budge overnight either. Hard to accept sometimes though. I just want to be the sylph that I was when I was a 19 year old professional ballet dancer but that was 40 years ago!!!!! I had to weigh around 100lbs then so realise that if I weighed that again I would look ridiculous and it would be a completely unrealistic goal doomed to failure. So....its just a case of sticking to the plan, touching base with fellow sleevers through these forums and posts, embracing the stall and thanking my lucky stars that I had the sense to have the surgery originally. That's not to say that it isn't hard to accept a stall. Someone was having a laugh when they designed the human body!!!!!!!! Why can't it do as it's told?!
