Monthly Weight & Progress Report

my starting weight was 301 not 250...my surgery was 04/27 -51pounds

Starting weight: 258 as of today: 193 Progress: I feel great, I have more energy than I have had in YEARS! my kids are having a fun summer because mom has so much energy...My kids are worn out by the end of the day! I did have to take a trip in to the ER last night. not sure exactly what was going on. I ate lunch about 12:30 peice of grilled fish, 1/4c cottage cheese (1%). and at about 1:30 I had to throw up and then I couldn't drink anything at all without throwing up. I finally called my mom (around 7pm) and my Dr. and decided I better go in...I threw up 3 times on my way to my mom's,and one more time on the way to the ER....Then I was better !@##!@#%! I was very dehydrated, so they put an IV in and gave me a liter of fluid....and I still didn't pee! took x-rays they looked good. Dr. was thinking that maybe I had a spasm or something. but said it was good that i came in just for the fluid. Taking it easy today...back to eating soup for a day or two and drinking fluids....DR's orders! ***** on the plus side my nurse said to me "your beautiful...I never would have guessed you had surgery....you were probably pretty before , but you look great" *****MY HEAD IS GETTING BIG***** well that's my story... Every one else sounds like you're doing great...congrats on a job well done! Katie

OH OOOH! I'll play too: LapBand 4/26/04 Starting Weight: 244 Today's Weight: 187 Total Loss: - 57 pounds! (WITHOUT a FILL!!!!)

That is amazing. The lap band was my initial choice but... my insurance would not cover it. They said it was experimental. I hope I can get my husband approved for the lap band though.

Had surgery on 04/26/04 starting weight was 374 now 314 that's 60lbs. gone. Probably could be more but I still have a open wound so serious exercise is still not possible.

I still have an open incision too. It's a pain cause you really can't do as much as you would like to. 60lbs is a lot. I've only lost 60lbs at this point post surgery. I had dropped 20lbs before the surgery.

Hey all you April losers! I had a lap RNY on 4/28. Pre-op weight - 292 This week - 240 52 lbs down the toilet (literally) hahaha It was so nice to read everyone's posts and see how great everyone is doing. I haven't exercised as much as I should. But I'm ready to get busy! I have been measuring and I have lost a total of 80 inches!! (That's from top to bottom) Down from a size 22/24 to 16/18. Sometimes it feels like a dream cuz I'm still the same inside but then I look in the mirror and it's a whole new me! Take care all and lets keep posting our progress! Phyllis
