I am 5'7 and weighed 280 the day of my surgery. (08/29) I am currently at 248. I was on liquids for 3 days and pureed for 4 weeks. I am currently progressing to other foods. I feel that I have done a really good job following my DR's orders EXCEPT in the area of excercise. HOWEVER, I am getting better in the excercise area.

I had surgery on 8-1-05. My peak weight was 319, my post op was 277 and I'm 5,5. I've only lost 40 so fay and I exercise everyday and follow the rules. Sounds like we're not alone.

This is making me feel better. Everybody seems to have had good results a year out so maybe this isn't really slow...just the normal!!!! i really want to get to 150 but the doc doesn't seem to think i will...but who knows!!! thanks for the words! keep up your hard work!! susan

I am 5'6 and started at 263. My surgery date was 8-8. I am now at 222 I have been there for a couple of weeks now. I am beginning to wonder if I will start loosing again. Trying to add more excercise to my routine. Hopefully that will help.
