Thanks for reminding me. I'm in a stall. Arghhh! So, even though this weight feels pretty comfy to me, I don't want to stay here and I need to get my butt working out and break this confounded stall! I appreciate the nudge! :-)

:-) Thanks.

That's really cool. Thanks. :-D

Hi Sugar Mama and congratulations on your surgery date. It will change your life!

I "flew under the radar" for as long as I could to avoid questions. People like numbers and I share numbers here. I don't share them outside of this site except with my most trusted friends. So, the most common question is "How much have you lost?" I answer, "More than I care to admit to anymore." I've lost 190 pounds total (100 pounds since surgery), so I don't want them to do the math and figure out my highest weight. One persistent questioner asked, "Have you lost 100 pounds?" I said yes, because I had. I will talk more details with people who are interested in WLS themselves.

The main thing is to think of short answers and only say that answer. If someone asks you a super personal question, you can shrug or you can say "Hmmm" and kind of stall and usually they will recognize that they asked something inappropriate. But, if that's not good enough just say, "I'd rather not answer that." You're not required to give out all your information.

I wish you all the best!

Congratulations on getting your date. You are about to embark on one ride that you will never forget. Welcom to the losers bench hon, I am so happy for you.

Hi Kim, Thanks for the encouragement. There's no way for me to know how much you will lose, but I have confidence that you can do what you set your mind to do. I started out heavier than you. In total, I've lost 190 pounds. I lost 100 pounds from last year just prior to my surgery until now. So, I think you can do it.

At two weeks post op, we all hit a stall. This is normal. Don't worry. I've noticed a good many folks have stalled where I am at now, too. Stalls come and pass. You may need to increase your calories: talk to your nutritionist. With all that exercise, your body may go into starvation mode and quit losing. Just a thought.

You'll do great. Hang in there!
