Hi All,

Didn't see an October Post Op thread so I figured I'd start one.

I was sleeved on Oct. 17,2017. I had no complications, only pain I dealt with was the gas that was stuck in my rib/chest area for about 4 days. I didn't have any nausea or vomiting and have been doing great. Only frustrating thing is I hit a stall about 10 days ago and the scale hasn't moved yet. How's everyone doing?

I was hoping to lose 75lbs also. So far, I have lost 55lbs. I've had a few stalls, but I'm going to continue to power through them and get as close to 75 as I can.

You should have no problems hitting your target. Best of luck.

I really did not expect to be under 225 at my 6 month, let along my 5month! I would be happy to hit 210, as I now am 5 lbs less than I was in 2001!

61 lbs makes a BIG difference. Pink dress pic was taken in September and the other was taken Saturday. I feel like a completely different person.

What are some of your favorite meals/snacks?

I'm only 4 mo out and 67lbs down so yes I believe I will make that 75lbs when I get to 6mo. Good luck!

129 days elapsed since surgery = 18 weeks, 4 days = 4.25 calendar months.

Down 22.4kg (or 49.38 lbs) since surgery

= 1.2kg per week average (or 2.66 lbs)

- - -

129 days elapsed since meeting my surgeon

Also known as 31 weeks = 7.07 calendar months.

Down 38.6kg (or 85.1 lbs) since July 17th, 2017

= 1.24kg per week average (or 2.74 lbs)

I truly had no expectations except to lose comfortably on a regular basis AND to leave my morbidly obese life well behind by my 63rd birthday (June 2019). I hope I'm under 84kg (or 182 pounds) by then ... 91kg lost (200 pounds).

Do you think it is possible to reach your personal weight loss goal in a year, if you are following the guidelines of your NUT? I would like to see 1.5 lbs. lost per week...... that is doable, right? If I lose 1.5/week I will def reach my goal before my 1 year anniversary.

My dietician said to expect 1.5 to 2 pounds per week.

Yes, it's possible. Alot of people do reach their personal goal in a year. I'm very close myself at a little over 4 months out frm surgery. I lost alot on my preop plan which helped.

I think I'm going to remember February as the lost month because i haven't lost anything! Done the 2 down the 2 up all month. Working way too many hours at work this month, which leads to grazing and bad habits along with being too tired to go work out after a 16 hour shift has got me stalled good. Work will lighten up here soon and i plan on a good push for march and look to try and drop 8-10 for march.

Same here, super frustrating and I have been doing everything right. Increased my exercise, eating healthier each month and I was down 4, now I am back up 3. Aghhh!

Progress pics...last Tuesday vs last year. 67 lbs down. I work out twice a week doing pole fitness. I have a cheat day once a week. I still enjoy beer and wine.

I am so impresed with everyone's progress! I have been following a lot of Dr Weiner's videos on youtube, and I am trying to think Veggie first....but veggies fill me up so fast. I am pretty happy with my progress....and.....very happy to say that for the first time in many years I am under 200 lbs!

I am 198 as of today!!

So total loss of 65 lbs. I had surgery at the end of October, I lost 10 lbs in the 2 pre-op weeks. My goal is 175-180 ( I am just a sliver under 5'10" tall) so i think this is a decent goal for me.
