Jamie,
I gained two pounds last week and had not weighed myself until this morning and I had lost 5 more pounds. Don't worry!

I had surgery almost a month ago and have lost 32 pounds. I was worried last week because I gained 2 pounds.

I was three weeks out from surgery as of yesterday.  I have lost about 28 lbs, including the pre-op diet.   That means I'm down about 15lbs post op.  I feel like I'm losing slowly, but I'm o.k. with that as long as the surgeon is o.k. with that, and he is.  Anyway, 'slowly' is a relative term.  I certainly was never able to lose 15 lbs in 3 weeks before.

I'm just going to keep doing what I'm supposed to be doing and see what happens at my 6 week appt.

Sounds like your doing well!

I am 4 weeks post op today and was wondering how everyone is doing on their weight loss?  I have lost 36 pounds to date including the pre-op diet.  Which to me seems like a small number, the inches have been coming off also.  Please don't get me wrong I am not complaining by any means!!!  I do not regret having the surgery as I know this is a life long journey and my weight will come off in a healthy manner which is what I want. 

I can't wait to be released to be able to exercise more than just walking.  I want to start some strength training to help with the loose skin and to tone up as much as I can along the way...

Good to luck to everyone and keep up the great work!!!

When is it safe to begin eating protein bars?  What store brand do you reccommend?  What are some other good protein snacks?  Thanks.
