Feb. date

Anyone else have a feb date? If so let's compare stats.(even tho we aren't supposed to hehe

I had my surgery Feb 27th, you?

I had my surgery on the 25th of Feb. I'll compare stats when everyone else does..lol..

My surgery date was Feb. 12th 2003. Starting wt. 305 - as of today I weigh 230. I guess I am on track, I don't often compare myself with other post-ops unless we have the same starting wt.

I had surgery Feb 26th and am down 60lbs so far, I get weighed once a month on the 26th. I'm feeling great, but of course I feel I have to eat a lot more protein.

Hi, Like others have said it is pretty hard to compare because SOOOOO many things factor in. I had surgery on Feb 3rd and was 421 the day of surgery. My high weight was Jan 16th at 442. I managed to lose 21 lbs before surgery on the protein and veggie diet my surgeon requires to shrink our liver. I've lost 74 since surgery so I am down a total of 95 lbs in 4 months. The last 11 days I only lost 2 pounds which is disappointing but I'm trying not to make a big deal of it as I know there will be plateaus etc. I've made great progress so far but I have a long way to go!

I had my surgery Feb 21st and am down 44lbs. I feel like it's moving sooooo slowly. I've recently cut my carbs WAY back to less than 20 grams a day, and that seems to be helping. I wasn't eating a ton of carbs before, but more than my carb-resistant body needed. I did the Atkins diet several years ago and lost 110lbs in a year (which I of course gained most of back, pre-op) and in that entire year, I had to keep my carbs below 20grams. So I guess I'm one of the slow losers. I just hope it means I will not have problems with gall stones or saggy skin. (I know I will have SOME trouble with the skin, but maybe not as much as I could have.) I'm just very happy for all of you and your success so far! Keep up the good work, and I'll do the same!

I had surgery February 21, 2003. I am doing amazingly great. I have lost 54 pounds and feel like a new filly. LOL I did, however, have a few complications, like wound infection and a pulmonary ebolism. I am doing great now. My doctor was wonderful and saved my life.

It will be 4 months for me the 25th of this month. My height is 5'5. I was wearing a tight 26/28..mostly 28s when I had the surgery, and this morning I put on a pair of size 20s!!!
