8/30's - weigh in

Hi everyone. Thought I'd see how all you fellow 8/30's are doing. Also, thought it'd be a good idea to do a weekly weigh in to see where everyone stands and how the progress is going. I'm already in a slump, not losing as much as I'd like, but we all lose differently and our bodies need to adjust. Just gotta remember: sip, sip that protein and water and walk, walk, walk (i started walking 2miles a day today...woo hoo) Take care & lots of luv!!! My weigh in, post 2wks: -17lbs.

I lost 9 lbs before surgery and 14 lbs since surgery........total pounds lost -23.

Hi Norma! I too, am an 8/30. I'm down 12lbs in 12 days and feeling good. (I haven't weighed myself since my check up.) However, I don't have the stamina to walk 2 miles. I am soooo tired. I do get in plenty of water but the protein is out the window. I'm having a real bad time there. Anyway, best of luck and keep up that walking! Nancy A p.s. What's your secret to success with the protein supplements?

Hi Ladies, I had my 2 week post op visit today and I have lost 18 lbs. Having no problems and feeling great! Dr. released me to do any type of excercise so I'll be getting on my new bike!! Keep up the good work! Teresa T

hello everyone. open rny 8/30 and as of Saturday I was down 17. As of today, I am still at -17. My guess it's due to being on food again. It WILL come off! Good job all you other losers! Janie

Hi Gang!! I'm an 8/30er too! As of yesterday morning.... -24.5 pounds!!! I'm already breaking out the clothes that were too snug! I'm so thankful for pureed foods!!! Still can't think of downing another protein shake... hahaha Oh but had scallops last night.... I like the quality rather than quantity eating!! I'll never forget my first 'meal'.... pureed tuna salad! I thought it was the best thing on the planet!!! grin Keep up the good work everyone!!! Rhonda

Hey fellow 8/30ers! I got weighed at the Dr's office today and I am down 44 pounds! Plus, I am now allowed to eat crunchy foods! Woo hoo! No more SF jello! Keep it rolling everyone! Jud

Hi I am 8/31 but it is close I am down 35 pounds so far. I still eat liquids as solids come back up. Keep up the good work walking and such. Water is making me sick now. I am sick of it I guess. I keep sipping tho. Viki
