Topic: RE: 7 week out and slow loser
Becky, I just checked my stats and I had lost 34 lbs at 7 weeks out. Our loss, while slower than some, is a good steady loss. I am now 11 weeks out and I am losing over 1/2 lb a day. I was with a doctor-friend over the weekend who said if I were his patient, he wouldn't want me to lose faster than this. I think you are doing great. Keep up the good work. Watch your carbs and watch your fats. Also, I've noticed that my loss is much greater in the weeks I eat more fish. I cook it on the grill and its yummy! Good luck!

Topic: RE: 9 weeks post-op
Congrats Stephanie, I was 9 weeks post-op on the 21st. I am down 51 pounds and feeling great. Time sure does pass by very quickly. I have 49 pounds to my goal weight of 141. I would like to be 139 but I am leaving my goal weight at 141 at this time. Well, good luck and I hope you keep up the wonderful work. Be proud of who you are...I know I am Christine Abrams

Hi Becky my name is Jamie and I had surgery the same exact day as you did. I think that you are doing just fine. I know that I lost about 36lbs the first 2 weeks and then did not lose anymore until just last week it started up again I think that after going through this drastic change our bodies need time to catch up. 32lbs is alot to lose in only 7wks so now our bodies need to catch up and realize that we are not starving ourselves. Also I was doing my exercises 20 min and I upped it to 30 min I don't know if that has helped so maybe you could try that out. I am now down 63lbs. Believe me you will get there you absolutely did not do this for nothing it will happen. Just keep getting in your water and maybe try a second protein shake and see if that might jump start the losing. Hope I helped in any way. Keep up your good work and it will come off.

Topic: 7 week out and slow loser
Hi, I had my surgery 6/30. I am down 32 pounds. I feel this is slow. I know everyone is different. It's just that the past 3 weeks I've only lost 3 lbs. That's just not right. I'm really watching my eating... getting my water and excersicing at least 20 minutes a day. Doing a protein shake.. Just want to know that I didn't do this surgery for nothing. Please some encouragement please. Becky (Open RNY)

Topic: 9 weeks post-op
Today is my 9 week anniversary post-op. I can not believe how time flies and how much your body changes over this time. I have been keeping a photo journal and I tell you what, I can not believe that I have changed so much in just 9 weeks. I am currently down 61 pds!!!!!! I could not be happier either. I hope everyone else is doing as well. I have decided I am going to do a scrapbook of my lifestyle change. That way I can keep track of how much I have changed (for the better). If anyone that lives in the Des Moines area would like to get together and scrapbook please feel free to email me at [email protected]
