I am 5 weeks out and in a 2 week stall have lost 27 lbs since pre-op diet. I am pleased with the weight loss so far and I have noticed some body changes in mainly my legs. I still have a big belly bloat and have not gone into any smaller sizes in anything. You would think at 27 kbs less I would at least be down 1 sz, so frustrating, just venting. Also at this stage how many ounces is everyone eating with each meal.

I've lost the most weight in my arms and legs. About 20 lbs since surgery 3 weeks ago. I'm currently in a frustrating stall. Anyway, I also feel like my stomach hasn't shrunk. It's hard to tell because I have a hernia I can't treat till my BMI is below 30. Maybe you're like me where abdominal fat is the last to go.

My surgery was 8/23. I'm still on soft foods till 9/28. I eat about 6 oz (sometimes less because of my begging dog and don't always finish) and like 3 oz for Snacks. Seems to be more than most but it's what works for me. At this stage I hear people eating tablespoons at a time and I just can't believe it. Told my surgeon I'm convinced he left my stomach too big.

You sound like me my surgery was 8/14 and I have gradually increased my food intake to 6 oz meals and 3 oz snacks as well. I was hungry all the time and that helped. But my belly is not budging. I walk about 1 1/2 miles a day and am sticking to what is on my soft food list, and getting my Protein and Water in most of the time. I still feel tired a lot and don't have the energy I was hoping for. This 2 week stall I am in is so frustrating.

Same here! I've lost 30 so far, sleeved 8/7, and though my current size is big in legs and thighs, my pants seem to still fit in the tummy or super tight in the tummy a size down. I also feel that I'm super sensitive to salt now. Had some broth from a ramen place when I was out last week with some soft tofu, I swear the next day my stomach was even bigger! And my ring is super tight.

I had surgery on 8/24 and I just broke through a 2 week stall. I eat between 2 to 3 oz per meal. I would not be able to eat 6 oz. my calorie intake is between 500 and 800 a day. I am also walking a mile a day. I have lost 13 pounds since surgery and 17 pounds during my preop diet. 30 pounds in 5 weeks.

I eat around 900 calories a day and have lost 22.5 lbs since 8/23 surgery. I walk between 2-5 miles a day between purposeful exercise and dog walks with my pup and neighbor. I swear I don't see a real difference in my body but the scale says something is happening.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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!!
