After my DS surgery, my MOUTH felt fine and that is what makes it hard...now it's my stomach which is fine but not my mouth.
You'll get to your mini-goal...I have faith in you!
You did fantastic this week.

i have lost 3lbs each week consistantly but i have this deap down feeling it will stop and i will be screwed lol.
so many diets have got me this way but i am starting to change mentally. i am just so excited I am done with half my weight loss! in less than 4 months

The thing is, I can move it now but due to all the wire in there, it's hard. He wired around every single tooth in there in prep for wiring it shut. Then all he did was put in rubber bands instead. And I still don't really FEEL my mouth. It still feels like a bad case of numb like they do for dental work.
Okay, EVEN if you stop for now, unless you are 24 or more months out, you are not done. I got to 135 in Aug and stayed put for MONTHS...then the month before this surgery, I dropped 6 lbs. I wasn't done, my body just needed to rest for awhile. Just keep doing what you need to do and the weight will come off until you reach a comfortable weight for your body. And who knows where that will be until you're more than 24 months out.

I am 190.5lb this week... as of Sunday.
The good news is that I attended my first class at the surgeon's office and as many diets as I have been on over the past "many" years I was pleased to say I learned some things.
I added a new app to my phone - MyFitnessPal and it seems to be working well.
Based on the feedback from lots of folks on this forum - I am going to work on eating small meals every few hours with a focus on protein. If I can do this now it will make the post surgery transition easier.
