AUG 30TH WEIGH IN

I AM A LITTLE NERVOUS ,I AM DOWN 19 POUNDS SINCE SURGERY. BUT I FEEL LIKE I STOPED LOSING.I WAS WONDERING HOW EVERYONE ELSE FEELS AND HOW MUCH LOST. TAKE CARE

I AM ONLY DOWN 23LBS. BUT FEEL LIKE I WILL BE AT A STAND STILL ALSO. I BUSTED OPEN SOME OF THE PLACES WHERE THEY DIDNT HAVE STITCHS. PHYSICAL THEARAPIST PUT ME ON WALKING ABOUT TWENTY STEPS TWICE A DAY AND DOING OTHER EXCERSISES LAYING ON MY BED. OH I WANT TO SWIM SO BAD. LOST 187 POUNDS THAT WAY ONE TIME. BUT I WAS ABOUT 500LBS AND HAD TO HAVE MY FEET PICKED UP STEP BY STEP. AS FOR FINDING A STOPPPING POINT. ADD SOMETHING TO YOUR EXCERSISE. IF OK WITH DOC. EVEN TWO TRIPS TO MAIL BOX A DAY WILL BURN EVEN A LITTLE MORE. GOOD LUCK.

I am down 28 lbs. This past week I have ate things I ate 2 weeks ago....but now they get stuck. I can't stand protein drinks and I don't drink water. In fact yesterday I only drank 1 cup of coffee and 1 cup of crystal light. I've got to get some incentive and force myself to drink.

Not sure until my next drs appt which is tuesday! I am excited! As of 2 weeks post op I was down 18 lbs. I hope to be down at least 23lbs. I just can't wait until I can't wear the same clothes anymore. --Marianne

I'm down 24 pounds and I feel WONDERFUL! I am 3 weeks and 2 days post-op... my only problem is mild constipation. Other than that, life is great!

I'm down 20 as of today. But I have massive allergies that are bringing me down that I can't eat or drink. Keep up the losing!!!! Janie

I'm down right about 45 pounds since the surgery. I was down 44 last week, but kind of slowed down this week. Doc says it's normal.

Hope this helps, take care and give your selves a big {{{{{hug}}}}} today.I will give ya one too! KIMW

I am 6 weeks post op and have only lost 28 pounds. I have been quite upset about it as I read that some people lose that much in 2 or 3 weeks. I start to think in my "failure" mode and that I will only lose this amount (as in the past history of my weight loss). But then I come back to my senses and realize that everyone's body adjusts differently and I must be patient. I am still on insulin so I hope that as I lose more I can cut down on my insulin- which I know causes weight gain. When was your surgery? 19 pounds is much better than zero, which is what you would have lost if not for the surgery. Stay with the program and keep up the good work. Ellin
