I had surgery on the 7th and have lost 22 lbs so far. Loving the weight loss but sever reflux is no fun. Might need another endoscopy in a couple of weeks to check for problems. Not exercizing yet b/c reflux acts up when I'm moving around a lot.

While this part is no fun... I know that I'm going to feel better and would do it again.

I had my surgery one month ago today! I am down 20 pounds! I did had a mini stall for about 5 days at the 17 pound loss point. I was discouraged. The people here were very supportive with their assurances and helped me out of my little funk or lessened the worry.
I feel great!

Wow, that's awesome everyone! I'm 5 weeks out today and have lost 30.5 pounds so far. Some days I am amazed I have lost this much. Other days I'm disappointed I haven't lost more.

My RNY was July 18th. I've lost 46.5 pounds. 14 of those pounds were pre-op diet. 32 since surgery. Congrats to everyone on your success.It feels nice to finally be losing after years of failed diet attempts. Thank God for WLS :)

My surgery date was July 5th. I weighed 265 that morning. Sept 10th today I'm at 223. That's down 42 lbs. No complications. No more diabetes. It's all good!

I had my surgery on July 14, 2011. I had the sleeve and am down by 50 pound!!!! I am doing good so far. Still struggling with proteins. Some foods I still cannot digest so I stick with fish and ground turkey. Keep servings of home made chili in the freezer for days when I don't feel like cooking. I need to start exercise...and will very soon. The good thing is that I am off all meds except for 2!!!! No more glucophage!!!! i feel great and can walk for miles without getting tired. I thank God I had the surgery and for bringing me through. Funny, I can't remember ever feeling this great in my life and I know it's will only get better.
