Hi Danielle, Your not alone! I weigh myself every morning right when I wake up. I don't do it through the day because then it of course fluctuates 1-2 lbs, but every day! I think daily is ok unlike what some will say because when I see any type of gain it keeps me in line to say "ok, better drink more water, or clean out a bit, eat better, etc". I checked your pics.. WOW what a huge difference in your new look! My WLS was 8/1/06 and today I've lost -58 so far. Wonder if everyone in 8/06 surgery is close to that # or am I a slow looser? Good luck!!

What are strictures. I am 9 weeks out and I have lot 59lbs.

The first time I went out to eat after surgery I went to eat n park. I had the chili. I ordered a small cup and couldn't fini**** all. I went bowling with my friends over the weekend and they ordered pizza and wings. I a the cheese off of one slice of pizza and had one hot wing drummette.

I went out to dinner Friday night with my husband to a restaurant here in Martinez, FATZ... It was my fav before surgery... I had the grilled shrimp /vegie skewers and one stuffed mushroom... I was able to eat 5 grilled shrimp, 1/2 piece asparagus and 1/2 piece squash, and then a very small stuffed mushroom as an appetiser.. Not sure how to figure in the calories or whatever but the good news is nothing made me sick!!

Hey, what is the name of the protein drink you buy at GNC? Worldwide? Have you tried the Isopure drinks? they look like Gatorade? 40g/20oz... they're really really good... We had surgery the same day, I didn't measure either, have lost 64 pounds as of thursday... I'm getting flaky on the exercise thing, I did get up and walk 30 mins today though... I woke up last night hungry and got some cheese... That scares me cause it seems like I might be heading back to the bingy thing... I really don't eat much at all during day, Yesterday I had two protein shakes, and a couple spoonfulls of chksalad from chic filet, and 1 tsp pb/on some soy crisps...., I need to reevaluate what I'm eating and when.
