Your bloating is pretty normal for a day out.  Remember the MD filled your Ab with air to assist with the surgery.  It should go down very soon

Well, I am doing good.  Finally feeling really good, I have been working on working out.  The weight has slowed down a lot.  I have been trying to watch what I eat a lot closer.  I have lost 59 lbs and have gone from a size 22 to a 12!  It is amazing because it seems every other month I will lose weight.  So August, October, December, so maybe come Feb I will be down a few more lbs.  It seems my body stalls for at least 3 weeks every month, then whoosh.  I had my surgery the 26th.  I am in major need of a tummy tuck also.

 No, that is not slow; that is normal. I have lost 52 pounds (surgery 8/25/08) and my doctors think that is just right. I am 5'4" but I am 60 years old and not that physically active but getting better at it! I weighed 268 on day of surgery.

 I don't really have a goal; down by 57 pounds since surgery date August 25th and am hovering at 210 also. I haven't been very good about supplements because protein shakes just go right through me and I get sick easily. Do you have a goal? I should try to increase my exercise -- like arms, scrunches and stuff like that. Tomorrow I will look for a mat to use on our hardwood floors.

I'm down 59 since surgery on the 26th.  

My goals are to: 
1)  Get through all of the holiday temptations without giving into the sugar cravings,
2)  Keep up an exercise when I'm so cold I just want to curl under a blanket and snuggle to stay warm. 
3)  Keep trying various proteins - and just accept  that sometimes - they will come back up.

I've been trying to not set weight loss goals -  I've noticed I stall 2-3 weeks and then drop for a week or two - then stall.     I don't set goals for things where I don't have much control over the outcome.
