Just past one month...

Hey all- I just hit my one month on Wednesday and down 32 pounds by my scale. I do not have another meeting with my Surgeon until the 2nd of June but obviously I am thrilled with the results thusfar. I just wanted to post and give everyone an update. I also wanted to encourage all those who are hitting plateaus and are having complications. It will get better and you will come off the plateau. You WILL SUCEED and it WILL COME OFF. This is not like all the other experiences you have had with losing weight. We are in this together and I will be here for whoever needs a helping hand. Thank you for praying for me and supporting me in my journey. Love to you all- may your Anchor continue to hold strong. Bryna Grant 310/ 278 (-32)/ 145

congrats on the loss so far. i am 3 weeks out and have lost 26lbs plus whatever i gained in the hospital. im still having trouble with some foods, and with my energy. saw the dr yesterday and he said im probably not eating enough. can you imagine...not eating enough...that is something i never thought i would EVER hear in this lifetime. anyways, keep up the good work, remember others are rooting for you.

I am not eating enough either..uped my protein drinks.

Bryna, Your post was just what I needed to hear. My surgery was the day after yours. I have only lost 18 lbs and was getting discouraged. You are right this time things are different. I must believe that if I follow my program that the weight will come off. Marcia

Marcia- Glad I could help. I have no doubt that you will do very well. Just stick with your plan and watch those pesky calories and drink, drink, drink. You are doing great- 18 pounds is wonderful. Everyone loses differently and you will pass me soon, I imagine. Hang in there and let me know if I can do anything for you. Bryna

Great job...keep up the good work. I had also lost 32 lbs at the 1 month mark. I am 5 weeks out today.....be sure to measure you inches also. I had lost 5 inches in my waist in 1 month! lap rny 4/15/05 300/268/?

I too thought the weight would just drop off. And at first, it did. I had lost 26 pounds in 24 days. Then I hit a stone wall and didn't lose for a week. Finally started coming off again a couple of days ago. I got very discouraged then I realized I may not be losing at record speed, but every time I dropped a digit (10-pound marker) I realized I would never see that weight again!! I hit 239 and said goodbye forever to 240, 229 and bye-bye 230 and so on. That is what makes this so wonderful. I think we all need to have patience and faith that we will do it. Linda 240/212/???
