Hi all. My name is Amy and I am new to the site. I have found it very encouraging and I find myself checking it all the time. start weight 321 surgery date June 28 RNY open I am down 53 as of this morning 9/11 I am doing fine with the protein (getting a little tired of it) and doing well getting my water in thank God for Crystal Light I too avoid sugar. I think I have only dumped 3 times I have yet to be hungry, but I can feel when I need to eat. Thanks to all who have posted this is great!!!

I had surgery on the 11th of june and as of today I am down 48. I was 278 on the day of surgery. I often have thought that I was slow at losing, but when I look at others I have found that if you are under 300 you will lose at slower rate. So the less you weighed prior to surgery the slower you lose. When the heavier people reach our start rates they often find that the weight lose slows down. The way I see it, I have never had weight fall off of me prior to surgery no matter what program I tried, but I also never lost the amount of weight I have in 3 months before. You are doing great. Don't be so hard on yourself. Good luck.

Tracey YOU ARE SO AWESOME,,thanks for the info,,according to weightloss of 2lbs per week ,I should reach goal in 7.7mths,, Thankyou. Diana

I havent really lost but 2 lbs in the last month. but its my fault...no walking...little to no water. What is wrong with me...why am I afraid to be thin?????????? Every morning I get up with the good intensions of doing my WATP tapes and end up sitting thru the news ...and never walking a step/ I need major motivation from so one... cherish-Louisiana
