Almost 10 weeks out - how much have you all lost?
I had my surgery on May 4th. I am down 41 pounds. I have promised myself to only weigh once a week because otherwise it does seem way too slow. I don't know how much you have to loose, but they told me the less you have the slower the loss. I have 100 pounds to loose. Surely your clothes are fitting differently? I am enjoying that aspect. Not to mention the increased energy, comments from people and all those benefits. I am just enjoyig the trip and glad I am not still on a liquid diet! LOL
Hello everyone!
I was 10 weeks out yesterday and i'm down 47 lbs. I was hoping to hit the 50lb mark this week but i actually had a slight gain of 2 lbs then lost it again...grrrr Oh well, i'm still thrilled with my progress, all my clothes are hanging on me, i get so many compliments at work and from friends and family. I'm enjoying this ride for sure! I have only had a few minor issues along the way, one being constipation...this seems to bother me most. I've gotten food stuck on 3 occaisions and had to throw it back up. Not a fun experience! Other than that, i'm doing great! "May" we all have continued success and wonderful WOW moments!!!

I'm 3 months out to the day and have lost 49.5 pounds. I lost 29 pounds the 1st month, 8 pounds the 2nd month, and 12.5 pounds the 3rd month. It seems like the pattern I've had for the last two months is I will stall for a couple weeks (3 weeks the 2nd month), then drop 4-6 pounds, then stall for another week or two. I am never able to get in the 2 quarts of water a day that my doctor wants me to drink and that might be part of the problem. But I'm very happy with my weight loss--even if it is slow by some people's expectations. I've went from 270 (on my scales--273 on doctor's) down to 220.5. I'm off my diabetes meds, blood pressure is much better, sleep apnea is extremely better, and back pain was better as long as I was walking every day. However, I've been sick with bronchitus and sinusitus for 4 long weeks and haven't had the stamina to walk in this FL heat and humidity. I'm anxious to get started at the gym once I get well. All my muscles, esp. upper arms, are flabby.
