7 weeks post op tomorrow. Hit a stall around week 2 post op, and was stalled for almost 3 weeks. Since breaking through the stall, the pounds have been coming off day by day. I know it will come to a screeching halt again soon, but I'm so proud, I just had to share.

And, I just want to offer a little encouragement to the newbies who may be in a stall....Hang in there!!! Don't let it get the best of you! You WILL start losing again! It's a process that's unique to each individual. We aren't guaranteed smooth sailing, but stay the course, and you will reach your destination. ❤️️

Thank you for writing this! I will be 4 weeks post-op on Wednesday and have been stalled for almost two weeks. What may be worse is that I got fluids via iv at my two week check up and went up five pounds. The stall started with those five pounds (though I did lose 35 during the one week pre-op diet and those first two weeks post-op). I just keep chugging on, knowing I'm being irrational but still having that niggling doubt that I won't lose more.

I initially felt bad for posting this. It probably seems like bragging, and I didn't want anyone to feel that I was rubbing it in.

And thank you! I've been feeling good this week, finally! I was wondering when I would start feeling better in general.

Stalls and gains from fluids are the pits!! May I offer a little bit of a bright side?? If we hadn't have had this surgery, those 5 pounds would be fat and not Fluid.

You are not being irrational at all! Gains, especially when stalling, are a huge bummer. And it's soooo easy to feel defeated. And you have a right to feel that way!

That's right sister, just keep chugging! You will lose more. One day soon, you will step on those scales and squeal with delight!

I'm glad we are on the losing side! I never want to go back to where I was ever again! Congrats to you, love and hang in there! Message me sometime if you need to vent! ❤️️

      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
