My first weight loss surgery I weighed 220 at my highest and I'm 5'3 on a good day. No one noticed my weight loss until I had Lost about 50 pounds! Unfortunately I think the bigger we are the harder it is to tell unless they haven't seen you in a while! DO NOT GET DISCOURAGED! You've got this, you know you're loosing so just keep on keeping on, they will eventually notice, then their gonna be shocked! Hang in their! Do this for you! I hope this made sense & helps!

I just had a two week stall myself. Got on the scale today and it finally moved. I've been trying different things to make it more and yesterday I had a full shake (I haven't been able to drink a full shake because I've been totally disgusted with them). Try more Protein.

DO IT FOR YOU! KEEP ON KEEPING ON!!! I'm in a 2 week stall as well! Take your measurements, even if the scale isn't moving, you may be losing inches!

I just got off of a 2 week stall that happened 1 week after surgery! Talk about disappointing! I upped my activity, focused on Protein and Water and dropped 7 lbs in the last week. Stalls happen, but don't let it discourage you. I think people in general are not too observant and not many hand out compliments. I go by how I feel. I feel great! My knees and hips don't hurt and my skin looks great so I know loss is in my future! Keep on keeping on!

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
