Just wondering...
For all the April 2010 people out there, how has your weight loss been up to this point? I had my surgery April 12 and my surgery weight was 330. Currently I have been fluctuating between 298 and 301 for this entire week. Losing 30 to 33 pounds in a little over 6 weeks is beyond amazing, but I was just curious if this was typical or if I should be losing more.
This entire week I have had just slight fluctuations, but no real weight lost... I am hoping that some of that is because I joined a gym May 15th and have been working out just about every night since. I try to do cardio every night and muscle toning 2 to 4 days a week. I know that the weight lifting is going to add muscle weight, so I am trying to stay posative and chalk it up that. Is there anyone else out there who started working out and may have hit the same situation?

I usually measure my progress from the pre-surgery diet phase but to be consistent with your post I'll only include measurements from surgery date.
Surgery weight was 200.8 lbs, today 183.8 lbs. I also measure by inches in preparation for a weight loss stall.

I know there's a skinny gal in here somehwere!
A journey of a thousand pounds begins with a single ounce!
I take my measurements once a month on my surgery day. I have been doing my best not to cheat and do it before the 12th. I really want to see the numbers go down and I am afraid to look now and be disappointed. When I regained a couple of pounds, I freaked! I did measure my waist and from May 12 to May 24th, I have lost 2 inches in my waist alone. Thanks for the info.
I think you are doing great. I also think it is wonderful you are using the gym. I have gotten on the treadmill some but I can't seem to make it across town to the gym. I am hoping that will change when school is out. You and I are close to the same pace. I actuall started my ticker 2 weeks before my surgery when I started my liquid diet. I lost 16 lbs before the surgery. Keep up the great work.
I had my surgery on 4/29/2010 and when I had surgery my weight was 353 and now it is showing 324 That is a 29 pound loss last week at my TOPS group I only lost 2 1/2 pounds was not to happy with that but I also thought you know any loss is much better than a gain...So you are doing good so far keep up the good work...
I haven't taken my measurements in a while, but I have lost a total of 56lbs. I am a heavy weight also so it seems to come off of us faster! My pant size went from a 24 to an 18....I am happy about that! I just need to do a little better with my eating. I have found that nothing I eat gives me problems (knock on wood)...so I need to be careful! Good luck!
Okay, I was 339 when I started the pre-op diet, day of surgery was 299. After surgery, I went back to 330ish. Fluid gain happens quick for me. The lowest weight I've seen on the scale is 279. Surgery was 4/5, about 7 weeks out? I really haven't paid attention to my weight loss. It fluctuates 2-5lb daily. I have lost inches though!
