Hey Feb loosers, how's everyone do'in? Been away, catch me up!
I've had lots of drama, (not all wls related) and been gone for a couple of months. Also, I posted a few greetings to the wrong board. I should have noticed that sooner than I did.
I've been praying for everyone regularly. I missed the last week or so of Feb so I hope everything went well for you end of month surgeries.
So how easy/ hard/ frustrating/ exhilarating has it been? New clothes anyone? How many sizes lost? Anyone tracking inches lost? (Check out my waist size ticker.)
I've lost inches faster than weight which I can't comprehend. No jump start in the beginning for me, only 8lbs first month. But, sized down from an 18W to a 14W, and now wear a 14 misses. My wl is slow, erratic and frustrating but finally happening.
I lost a little, re-gained nearly half then started loosing. Since Feb 9 I've loss just under 35 lbs, over half in one two week period. Its been a hard fight. I did not expect the pounds to melt away but I thought it was impossible not to loose steadily unless you were cheating and way out of control.
Dr M's only concern was if I was eating enough because I have little appetite most of the time, and meat is often so hard for me to eat. He blames hormones, meds and water retention for my struggle. I knew I had some metabolic issues but I really believed the RNY would conquer them easily. Not so.
Still, no regrets! Thankfully I've caught up to the % of excess weight loss to date that he uses as a guide. By my 3 month visit I should be 33% to goal, right on plan. I'm so looking forward to when I no longer qualify as "obese".
Enough about me, how's everything with you?????
Tell me, tell me please!

I'm so looking forward to my BP comming down. Still taking four meds daily but the surgeon says this will improve when weight loss is greater. My cardiac follow up is next month so hopefully he'll at least reduce the meds.
Glad you're doing well!

Other than that, started a good workout routine at the Y 5 to 6 days per week, eating pretty much all food types, minus the sugar and low fat. Blood Pressure is doing wonderfully, and I am feeling amazing (crossing fingers).
I'm down 61 pounds since my two week pre-op diet, and 56 since day of surgery.
Congrats on your progress!!!

It knows it must outrun the fastest lion or it will be killed.
Every morning in
It knows that it must run faster than the slowest gazelle, or it will starve.
It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or a gazelle
when the sun comes up you'd better be running.

You are doing great on the excercise. I'm still pretty much on my pre op schedule but I should be at daily by now. I just logged a few reminders to my self about that. My routine is sufficiently intense but not daily as it should be.
I hope you have pics. I haven't posted any yet but I'm peeking at old posts and profiles and folks a doing so well...
