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.

My surgery was yesterday and today I bloated up like a parade float. I'm walking around but I'm in a hotel room at this point. HELP

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.
