Down one pound this week...Which is good, but my weight loss is really stalling these last couple months...I'm still losing, but very slowly. Oh well, at least it's still going down, not up. Good luck everyone!

My weight keeps fluctuating up a couple, down a couple, so it's kind of hard to gauge.

I think I'm down 1 1/2 lbs. My weight hasn't changed very much in the past month, so I think I might need a slight adjustment. I'm working out more than ever now-feel like I should be losing better!

Lost a pound this week! Two weeks in a row, the scale has moved! Not a lot but at least it's moving a little! I'm excited! It's 2 months since I've lost anything to speak of!:thumbdown:

Sounds like most of us are experiencing the same thing. I stayed the same. I was supposed to get a fill this week, but then the Blizzard of 2010 hit, and I had to reschedule. I am supposed to get a fill on Tuesday. I'm anxious to get it because I am h-u-n-g-r-y and eating big amounts. And I'm tired of the seeing the same two pounds go up and down.

LaDawn, congrats on two weeks of loss! I know that is a great feeling! And Lisa, good job on the 1.5! :smile:

Good luck to all of us! :smile:

Down just a little this week. I did hit 164 before and went back up so I hope this sticks.

Good luck next week everyone.

193 today.

This has been a rough couple of weeks/months. I was 197 in December, the last time I checked in. Something's gotta change.

I've lost track. :sad: I think I lost 2 lbs, but because I didn't record for awhile, I don't know.

Anyhow, I'm *almost* at 100 lbs, and it's killing me that the last 1/2 pound won't drop. :cool: Got a fill on Tuesday, and it has helped with restriction, but haven't lost anything since getting the fill. Sheesh. I thought at least I'd lose that darn 1/2 pound! Just shows how fickle our bodies can be! :w00t:

well...I havent lost any weight this week. It doesnt help that I just got back from 5 days at DisneyLand. its my T.O.M. today and I havent been able to run for 2 weeks because i have been having a lot of pain in my knee. Hopefully this week it will pick up again. I have to start back running today becasue my next 1/2 marathon (13.1 miles) is in 2 weeks! I still have a ways to go and like everyone else it seems to be slow!!!! But I look back on my food choices and I know deep down I could be making a few smarter choices! I will make that this weeks goal! hope everyone else has a good week with the scale.< /p>

Ann I envy you for being right there at the 100 pounds loss mark! you are remarkable! I really need to find better options for food! my problem is i am a little too tight and cant eat chicken or fish unless its fried and coated in sauce! I just cant afford the time or money to drive out of town to get a little unfill. I know i know before you all tell me...! but I will work hard this week to find other food options! hope everyone has an amazing week!!

LOM, I can't get plain meat and chicken down either. I don't eat friend food, but I do put sauce or marinade on my food. I just found a great new sauce that I put on pork loin this weekend. I'm sure it would be good on chicken, too. It's actually a salad dressing that I didn't like for salad. It's called Annie's Naturals Goddess Dressing. Here is the description from their website:

You were right, John, I made it this week to (and now past) the 100 lb. lost mark! Total lost this week was 2.5. I think I'll treat myself to the dancing Vitamins because I'm soooo happy!!!!

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
