8/10 Post-ops check in

I had my surgery on 8/10 and I am offically down 65 lbs and 27 inches. I feel great. My food intake is better and my blood tests came back great. I still can't eat Turkey or Chicken. I do have a question though, how much exercise are you getting? Currently I am working out in my work's fitness center 2 days a week and take a deep water aerobics class two days a week for 45 mins. per session. I can totally feel the difference. Why is it we can be so motivated to do this stuff now but couldn't have before? I am so happy I opted for this tool. Thanks for listening. Charis 255/190/145

Congratulations on your outstanding results! I'm getting 3 - 4 workouts weekly at Curves for Women. I also try to take a walk once a week with my daughter. My doc showed me some good exercies at my 3-month checkup for shrinking my uppper arm's "bat wings." I'm doing those to help. My best friend found a thigh master at a yard sale. She gave it to me. I love it! I wish I could take water aerobics! I miss the pool! Can't wait until next summer! ~Laura

Laura, How much weight have you lost? You look great. It's too cold here to swim but we have a local community center with an indoor pool and ice arena which is nice. Thanks, Charis

I had surgery on 8/11 and I am doing 68lbs since surgery + 20lbs I lost before surgery. I work out 2=3 times per week either in the gym, walking, exercise video or something!

Tracy, Keep up the great work! Doesn't it feel great? Thanks, Charis

hi all, i have lost 82 pounds since surgery....eating just about everything but red meat, but am getting real sick of chicken and turkey. right now i'm just walking on my treadmill, but will add more soon. Linda

Hello everyone! I went today for my three month weigh in. I have lost a total of 49 lbs since my surgery on 8/11/04! WOOHOO!!! I now weigh 183 lbs. I honestly can not remember when I last weighed under 200, never mind 183!!! It is mind blowing! In January 2004, I weighed 268, my highest weight ever. Since January 2004, I have lost 85 lbs!!! I am so happy with my results! Congrats to everyone for their success! Hugs, Denise Highest/Day of Surgery/Current/Goal 268/232/183/135ish

I am pretty disappointed with my loss because it has not moved in about 3 weeks. I have lost 54-56 lbs depending on the day! Thanks for asking!

I had my three month check up this week and I am down 66 pounds and feeling great. I have no problems with any kind of foods anymore including meat. For exercise though all I have been doing is walking everyday. Patty
