Okay LOSERS! Monday Weigh-In (join in all)!

Sorry I haven't been on much this weekend, wedding and issues with my daughter having anxiety attacks all weekend. Here's mine: May 3: 300.5 lbs Surgery day, June 18: 276 lbs (-24.5) Today, July 23: 250.5 (-25.5) Total loss: 50 lbs and you?????????????

Pre-op: 262 Surgery (June 18): 255.5 Today: 224 Total: 38 lbs

I just found this site so I am going to do the weigh-in Date of surgery 261 Today 238 Loss since surgery 23 pounds It is really weird I had lost 19 of these 23 pounds at the 2 week check-up. Has anyone else had this happen? Suesan

Hey Suesan! Welcome to the OH June Board! It's great to have you join us. As for your 19 lbs at the 2 weeks check up and slow after, totally normal. I lost quickly up to my 2 weeks and 3 day post op appointment and I stalled and am losing quite slowly now. It's getting better, but I've found out it's called hibernation...your body is trying to figure out what's going on. However, while you are in stalls and/or hibernation, you are losing inches. So, I know it's hard...trust me I KNOW, but don't live by the scale, take your measurements and track those as well. Take care and post often! *S* Pam

Suesan - I want to echo Pam K's post. Same for me - SLOW since the 2nd week post-op. It's strange when you anticipate weight "melting off" as others have posted. I console myself with the thought that even tho it's slow, it's FOREVER! Good luck!

This is the first time I have posted for the Weigh-In. June 7 (start of Pre-op liquids) - Highest 323 June 20 - Surgery 301 July 23 - Current 287 Since Surgery I have Lost 14#, but total of 36# from the start of my journey. OT- My incision is now closed and no infection Have a great week. Kristina

Kristina.....I'm sooooo happy to hear your incision has healed finally! What a relief that must be for you! Keep up the excellent weight loss! Pam

Beginning weight on 6/1/07: 325.6 Current: 279.6 Last week: 286.6 Weekly Loss: 7 Total Loss: 46

Hello All Here is mine (I just want to tell all I am on 4'11" ) Pre op 200 Surgery Day 182 (-18) Today 164.2 (-17.2) Total Loss 35.2 I have been stalled for the last week Shannon

Hey Shannon, the stall or hibernation is normal at this stage. Don't be discouraged....I lost inches during my hibernation that is just starting to turn around for me. I went down 2 sizes. So, the scale isn't the tell all. Take your measurements is what I've been told. It will help now and in the future. Take care! Pam
