Topic: Embarrassing problem...
I've lost 47 lbs in 3 months....but over the last week something else is going on. I've gone from having 1 or 2 bowel movements a day to having around 6 or 7. I'm not sure if this is something related to the surgery or something else. I just called my doctor's office but the nurse wasn't around to speak with. This is starting to kind of freak me out. Anybody else having anything like this going on???

Wow, I feel amazing. People finally started noticing about 2 weeks ago...at work. I am down 2 sizes and feel super. Working out and I just registered for 1/2 marathon in Miami for Jan 30, 2011. I am running 4 miles a week, so I am training to build up to the 13 miles for the 1/2. I have a run journal and am feeling good about the goal. Down around 47 lbs.....crazy!

Well, 47 lb divided by 12 weeks is 4 lbs a week. Not really sure what you expected but I would think anything OVER 2 lbs a week as fast loser, not slow.

I'm so frustrated!!! Monday will be 3 months since my surgery and I feel that I should have lost more by now. I know I shouldn't compare my weightloss to others but geez. I'm down 47lbs. This weekend I take my measurements again and really hope they show progress. For the last 2 weeks I've also bumped up my exercise. I'm doing Zumba M, W, Sat and strength training T, Th, Sun. I'm getting my protein and water in. Just need some encouragement.

Hey! I am so happy to read all the posts and to see everyone is doing so well! I feel great and am so happy I made this choice. I am 62 pounds down since surgery, 77 pounds total. I have gone from a size 28 pants and 30/32 or 3x/4x shirt to a size 22/24 pants and a size 22/24 or 2x shirt, and even now, my pants are growing loose! I love that feeling. I have been tolerating food without issue, have found many recipes to help me feel "normal" without actually eating normal, and I am working out at the gym a lot... it's become my home away from home! Over all, my life style has changed so drastically, I feel like a completely different person! I still have a tummy, but I know it will go away eventually, and I have slight hair-loss, but as far as I am concerned, it's all worth it! This weekend I have to go shopping for some more pants! And I am happy about it! Never said THAT before!

I passed the three month mark on July 6th and feel great. Unfortunately, I caught a stomach bug on July 5th and spent 3 days in the hospital. I couldn't keep any fluids in, so I dehydrated fast. The Dr.s thought it had to do with my surgery, but on the third day released me saying it was just some virus. However, I did have an endoscopy while in the hospital and they found small strictures and a itty bitty ulcer, that didn't show up on my CAT scan. The Doc dialated (?) the strictures and now nothing is getting stuck any more. I'm able to eat meat, though not a lot. I'm averaging about a cup of food for each meal. Like others I struggle getting the protein in. I've lost 54lbs and am wearing regular clothes. WOO HOO WLS was the best decision for me.
