While scrolling through past postings I noticed there is" Guys who started over 400lbs" in the Guys Room. Well I believe if there is" gravy for the ?rooster" there certainly should be "gravy for the? hen " especially those of us with meatier? drumsticks. Are there challenges we face that aren't faced by our 200 lb sisters? Do we tend to lose weight faster or slower than smaller? flock members?
Weigh in my sisters, weigh in!

Since surgery I’ve lost a little over 50 pounds and can tell a huge difference but do not get many comments from other

This! Even said a long time ago I've been very disappointed that my family cannot tell I've lost 67 lbs. I know it is probably because I started at 390...but I can SEE it. Am newly post op and am lonely as everyone keeps going 'out to eat' so they won't be 'uncomfortable' eating around me or making 'me uncomfortable'. What MAKES me uncomfortable is being left all alone all the dang time.

I get it too. Im down 52 pounds and though a few people have said I look good no one has asked if I was losing weight. I think once I get my next 50 they will have to notice or I will punch someone in the face?

You should still tell them you will go and since they thought to leave you out, inside of doing something with you. Then when you go out to eat pull out your own food that you pre-perpared. That what get them. Don't worry your not alone and it will all work out.

As soon as I'm off liquids and even just to pureed stage, I'm going to go for sure!

Hey Gals!

My starting weight was 310. I was sleeved 7/9 at 290 and today I’m 254.

Has anyone hit a Plato? I did I’m tired of it I do hit cardio 7 miles 43 min then I hit the weights seven days a week I’m tired of not loosing. I want to attribute it to my pcos but I’m not sure. Is anyone experiencing this?

You could be putting on a lot of muscle mass, so still losing fat but not going down on the scale. You should definitely have some rest days between weights!

Only a few people have noticed my weight loss. I don't really think of myself as being any smaller. I haven't bought new clothes although I have donated things that were so big I just couldn't wear them at all. I will have to soon though. Much of what I own is baggy

Yeppppp I feel ya! I’m there too I also work out A LOT and the inches are steadily coming off so I’m not looking at the scale right now

Checking in since it's been a while. I'm 110 lbs down from my highest weight and 102 lbs down from surgery. I'm almost out of the 300s and I can't believe it. I've been out of commission since I sprained my ankle in July but I'm feeling like I can finally get back in the gym so I can lose the next 100+ lbs.

Having my RNY almost 9 months ago truly changed my life. It's so hard and I've had several rough months, but I'm determined to get to Onederland and stay there.

Well Mic I am very proud to? hear this; I understand S all of us do, how HARD it is to lose Down That Way, some days You Wonder if it ever Will Happen but slowly and steadily it will. happen.I remember myself how it felt to Break 300, and then 200 and now, on my my 13 month Surgiversity I am 181 this Morning, really only 6pounds to the Goal I Set Myself. Was it Worth it All? Most Days I think SO, this AM I sure didn't , I am So Weary of Emesis and it seems to be my Constant Companion. Restriction- that's a Fine Idea- Yes Indeed but never feeling quite WELL, to gain all the benefits I relinquished a LOT and sometimes it bites BIG instead of a gentle gnawing. But I Have Survived a Lot in my 73 years of LIFE, I'll make it through THIS CHALLENGE As WELL As I CAN and I do wish that for YOU. TOO.
