CALLING EVERYONE WEIGH IN TIME
I have lost 22 lbs, since the surgery. One fill last month and the doc doesnt want to see me till the end of june. Guess I will have to wait till we find the sweet spot for things to start happening. 
You all keep up the good work and keep on moving 
366/301 happy mother's day!!!! 
I'm a happy 11 week loser of 67 lbs (53 post-op) 
Little bit of love to those who put the "I've only lost" before their totals. Honies you better celebrate 
those successes are just that "successes" shoot when we were at our highest in weight we weren't saying "well i only weigh....." so celebrate that loss 
We are all doing GREAT! Saida

I am 10 weeks out tomorrow....and down 56 pounds. No weight loss in two + weeks though. This is the second stall I have had. The first was at 5 weeks. I stopped loosing until about 7 weeks...and then lost for a week and now am back in a stall. I am getting my water, most of my protein, and am a nurse....so I run up and down the halls at work pratically all day.....I find that I am so exhausted at the end of a shift that I have not been doing anything in addition to that....perhaps that is what is causing the stalls.....?????
I'm just over 10 weeks out, down 52lbs.
I started at 234/now 182/first goal 125 (see how I feel there).
Here is a great "Timer Plan" that has helped me to keep it steady (from one of the great ossg yahoo groups I'm on)

KAREN B'S "TIMER" PLAN FOR GETTING BACK ON TRACK
The idea of this is to stimulate your metabolism to start burning fat and stop the grazing!!!
Of course, adjust the times to your schedule, however, do NOT go past 1 ½ hours between some kind of "feedings".
6 am coffee, tea, or some other kind of warm beverage to "get things going"
7 am 8 or more oz of PURE water
8 am protein shake
9 am 1-3 oz of protein type food*
10 am 8 or more oz of pure water
11 am protein shake
noon 1-3 oz of protein type food
1 pm 8 or more oz of pure water
2 pm protein shake
3 pm 1-3 oz of protein type food
4 pm 8 or more oz of pure water
5 pm protein shake (like while cooking dinner - prevents 'tasting" and "grazing")
6 pm dinner 1-3 oz of food total, i.e., 2 oz of protein food, a bite or two of veggie and perhaps a 'taste" of a complex carb
7 pm 8 or more oz of pure water
8 pm protein shake
9 pm light snack like string cheese, deli meat or cheese, about 1 or 2 oz total
10 pm 8 or more oz pure water
? Pure water is very important to optimum health and to flush the fat cells through your body. You may drink crystal light, diet Snapple, flavored waters, etc., however, you still MUST get in the 64 oz of PURE water every day and do not count the water in shakes or the flavored waters UNLESS you are flavoring them yourself with lemon, etc. Propel is good, but still do not count towards your water.
? You may make your protein shakes with just 1 scoop for 20 g of protein or less, but your total protein shake consumption must be at least 90 g. I use the full 30 g portion for each of my shakes, but my body requires more protein supplement. Please adjust accordingly, however the importance is actually drinking them. You can make up a half a portion in 2-3 oz of water to equal 15-20 g of protein then your daily total of drinking 5 shakes would be around 100 g which is perfect for a proximal RNY.
? You will find that by setting the timer, you will never be hungry, and in fact, by the latter part of the day, you will be surprised when the timer goes off to have water, protein, or food again!
? All meals must have a beginning and an end. No more than 15-20 minutes per "mini-meal". If you are full in five minutes, STOP and discard food or put away

Tuesday will be 11 weeks and I am down to 251 pounds. Started at 310. Not doing so good with the protien, water or excercise though. I know that if I got back on track that I would see the inches coming off faster. I went from a size 30 to a size 22 in 10 weeks. Whoo Hoo!!!
I am one pound away from my goal of 250.... my next goal is to weigh less than my husband. So I have about 31 pounds to go.
Wish me luck!
