2 months post-op today!

I had my surgery back on January 25th and I was just wondering how everyone who had it the same day as me are doing?? I remember there was a pretty big bunch of people who were also scheduled that day. So far, I've lost 56 lbs and 26.5 inches. As happy as I am about that I did have to have my gall bladder out last week which kinda put a damper on my day, but never in my life have I been able to say I've lost 53 lbs and am still going!!! So, I guess I just wanted to toot my own horn a little but more importantly I want to know how everyone else is doing. So please post and met me know! Sarah 361/305/150ish

Sarah, You are doing so great!!!! I had my surgery the same day as you. I have lost 35.5 pounds and 18 1/2 inches so far. My starting weight was 271 and I am now at 235.5. I am sorry about your gall bladder, my WLS friend who is 7 months out just had to have hers removed on this past Tuesday. Have you taken pictures of yourself?? If you haven't you should. I took pictures the night before surgery and then I took them this morning on the 2 month mark. I posted two of them to my profile. It is amazing how much difference there is in just a short amount of time. Okay, here is to our continued success!! Thanks for posting! Becky P.

Sarah, You are doing so good! What's your secret. I had such a bad plateau for almost 3 weeks, but I lost last week, and am hoping to post a few more pounds the end of Monday. Are you exercising? I wish I could do more, but I'm so out of shape!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry to hear about your gall bladder, did that come on quick, or had you had problems before? We had surgery a day apart, so stay in touch and keep us posted on your wonderful vogage to the "light side." Dianne 315/272/150ish.

Hi Sarah: I had my surgery on 1/25 and have lost a total of 32 lbs, from 274 to 242. I am pretty happy with the loss. I would like to lose at least another 15 lbs by the time I have my 3 month checkup. I exercise at least 3-4 times per week. I had a bout with constipation, but my MD gave me Miralax and, well, the bout is ending. My ultimate weight goal is 160, so I have 82 more lbs to go. I expect that I will be there by the end of this year. Ms. Sassy 274/242/160

Hi Sarah I had my surgery on the 25th of Jan as well. I wish I was doing as well as you are but I am not far behind. I have had a 3.5 wk bout with severe nausea and just not feeling well, which likely set me back, but I seem to be feeling better now finally! I have lost 45.6 lbs since surgery, and then pre-surgery lost 5.5 so my total since Jan 1st is 51 lbs. My starting weight was 364 the morning of surgery with a BMI of 55, and I am now at 318.4. At least it is comforting to know that the weight we have lost to date will not come back !! Jane 364/318/180

I had mine on jan 18th i started at 200 and i am now down to 162 that is a loss of 38 pounds and a total of 35 inches at last check i only have 50 left to go before i hit my goal the dr said i am right on with my loss at this point that is what he expected keep up the good work !

hi! i had surgery on jan. 29th. (open rny) and so far i'm down 66 lbs. i'm thrilled! i started out well over 400, so i've got a long, long way to go, but this is certainly an inspirational beginning! deb

I had my surgery on January 3, 05 and so far i have lost 63 lbs since surgery. I just cant seem to eat very much. Some times it gets kind of upsetting. But on the up side everyone says that I am looking great. Maybe in time I will reach a happy balance. I hope so....

Wow you guys!! I'm so happy to hear that everyone is doing so well!! Keep up the great work and soon we'll all be thin, happy, and most importantly healthy. I'll keep you guys posted on my progress and hope you'll all do the same

My surgery was January 13th and I have lost 79lbs so far - no idea how many inches, since I haven't bothered to measure. I do know that I am growing out of clothes in about five minutes time - I don't get to enjoy wearing my old clothes because in two weesk they fall off of me! We went to a junior league resale shop today and I bought myself a gorgeous skirt and top from Talbots, and I could have cried - have never had anything from that store - now I am more of a normal plus-size instead of a miserable super plus-size! I'm not going to sugarcoat - the past ten weeks have been a hundred times harder than I ever thought they'd be. I've had awful depression and fatique, and badly miss food. But, I do have my better days - today was one. We took the kids to an egg hunt and people who I hadn't seen in months were astonished at how much I'd lost. It made me feel good, for a little bit anyways. But, I still have quite a way to go. I'm doing goals in hundreds, lol...my next goal is getting under 300. Hope everyone is doing well and survives easter dinners eating four bites worth! LOL! Melissa 399/320/180ish....
