Hello all! Only down 2 more pounds this week. That's been pretty much what it has been steady for the last 6 weeks though. So I am down a total of 49 lbs. I havent been exercising and getting all my fluids, so I've only myself to blame. Beginning weight of 306 day I went in....(309) when I left the hospital Current weight of 257, and down at least 3 pant/shirt sizes.

congrats to all....we're doing maaavelous

Waving "HI" to everyone.... As of yesterday I am down 47 pounds. We are all doing GREATTTTTTTT I have a question for you 8/30's For a while there I thought my pouch was too big, like I could and did eat more than I should have, but the last few days, it feels like I can hardly eat anything without feeling it in the center of my chest, even water, especially the first thing in the morning seems to hang out in the center of my chest for a while. There is no pain involved, just mild pressure, and I do tend to burp more now. I am not sick, nor do I dump, just feel like I am always full to the top. Anyone else experiencing this? Ever think being called a "loser" would be a good thing? Hugs...Susan

Hi susan, I am experiencing the same thing you mentioned. A few weeks ago, I thought I had streched my poor pouch or something because I was eating larger amounts than before, and tolerating everything I ate. Ofcourse, I didn't overeat as in the past, but compared to what I could consume after surgery, it was a lot (in my eyes). Then, this week and the end of last, I just feel like I don't want to eat hardly anything because of that feeling I feel, as if it's just sitting there...no pain, just pressure, as u mentioned. I have gotten nauseous and want to throw up, but can't/don't, just foamy/dry heaving...but, nevertheless, it's mainly just a pressure that bugs me to the point of wanting to get it out! I've definitely cut down my food since I've felt that way and just taking it very easy....I've heard and friends have mentioned, that it is pretty normal, but such a pain

well to keep myself from going crazy staring at the scale, i limit myself to weighing in once a week. as of last week i am down 53 pounds! starting weight 379 weight now 326!!! great job guys!!!

we were almost the same. I started weighing 378 and now I weigh 326 cool huh? Sheila
