Schedule for surgery on 2/20/12 with Dr. KELLY! Excited and nervous at the same time. airline flights are book just hoping and praying for a smooth journey. Its been 6 days since I returned from Mexico and I feel like that was the best $5500 I ever spent. Iam now down 10 lbs since my surgery and everytime I step on the scale and see Im down another 1lb or 2 I am amazed. I wish I would have done this sooner. But its done and I finally feel like I'm on my way. Thanks again Dr. Kelly! you are truly the best!!! Today is 3/8/12 17 days since the surgery and I am down 18 lbs. The weight keeps coming off and all I'm doing is sipping on my liquids and getting my proteins in and MOST IMPORTANTLY, I AM EXERCISING. Ok I dont know whats going on but I am not losing weight like I thought I would. I am now 6 weeks out and I havent lost any more weight. My weight is staying at 249 give or take 3 lbs up or down, depending on if the scale is being nice to me on that given day. BUT!!! MOST IMPORTANTLY , I HAVENT GAINED ANY WEIGHT!!. I have read all about the 3 week stall but I havent heard anything about a 6 week stall. Have I failed weight loss surgery. ?? Well the stall is over! I was even up to 253 lbs. today on 4/19 I stepped on the scale and it said 247. Thats a 6 lb loss for me. I hope it continues to go down. I have been tracking my foods and staying away from the sugar. no candy or ice cream for me. I was doing really good. Staying off the carbs and sodium. Drinking up to 100 oz of water daily during the week of the 4/23. Thscale even dropped to 245. Well then Mother Nature showed up and it was that time. sO I gained a whopping 3 lbs back which brought me back up to 248, but I think that is normal. I havent got back on the scale and I think I will not weigh myself again until Sat. 5/5/12. I hope it oes down.
