That is fabulous!  You have lost so much in such a short time.  I had my surgery 10/28.

It  is so dissapointing when you stall.  I stalled right before I hit the big 50 loss and it didn't move for 2 weeks.  It is moving again, slowly but moving.  I have to put it all in positives so not to get down.  #1  I have never lost this much weight in less than 3 months  #2  I am completely off my diabetic meds and High blood pressure meds  #3 People are noticing and making nice compliments!  I feel better too except for a non-WLS symptom of really bad vertigo. 

I always love reading other comments from those who had surgery around the same time as I did.  It makes me feel like we have a real connection.  I had my surgery on 10/28/09

October 8 for me

down 58 pounds but that counts the 17 I lost on the liquid diet before surgery

I find that I don't really lose if I don't exercise so I've been going to the Y every single day possible to do Zumba, walk etc...  I really enjoyed water aerobics except now I'm so cold all the time I haven't been going to class for fear of freezing to death.

Topic: RE: MIRACLE PROTEIN DRINKS YOU HAVE TO TRY!!!!
I'm so glad you are trying it!  For me it was definately my saving grace!!  I drink the chocolate everyday.  I warm my milk and mix the protein and I swear it tastes like a hot chocolate or I'll add it to my coffee and it tastes like a mocha coffee.  Please let me know how you like it.  I hope you love it as much as I do!  I couldn't drink anything else and I tried a bunch!!  So prayerfully it'll work great for you too!

So sorry it's been so long since I last responded!  Life has been flying by since before Thanksgiving!  I hope you ALL are loosing now!  I finally feel like I'm getting more of a groove with the loosing side.  It's been ALOT slower than I'd thought but I'm just now getting signed up at the gym so I'm expecting that to help out a great deal.  Even with that said I've been loosing on average about 2lbs a week and I think that's great.  So to date as of yesterday I've lost 38lbs!  :)  I wanted to be at 40lbs by then since it was my 2 month post op anniversary but hey I think being that close to a goal for once I'll take it!  :)  I'm so glad it sounds like most of you have gotten over your stall hump!  That's awesome!!  So we'll just keep on keeping on our loosers bench!  WOOHOO!!  I'm just now down to my last size I've had in my closet for years so I've actually had to go out and get a couple of tops and a few pants to get me by!!  WoW that was sooo weird to have that happen and so exciting!!  I've been terrible and STILL haven't posted any pictures yet!!!  I've been taking them thank goodness so I do have documentation that it's really happening but I haven't seen them yet so I can't wait to get those loaded and really start to see the transformation that everyone keeps telling me is happening!  :)  Take care everyone and keep up the great work!  Just think everyday out from our surgeries is more days added to our lives!!

Okay, I'm feeling a bit better now.  I was so frustrated when I stalled for more than 3 weeks.  What a downer!  I have now just started losing again (4lbs) but thought for sure that this whole surgery, change your life thing, just wasn't going to work for me.  How utterly depressing that was!  At least I know now that I am not the only one.  Maybe I'll be better able to handle my next stall.....maybe!

I am Oct 5/09.  It has been slow going for me.  I lost 30lbs. in the first month and then stalled for the whole second month.  I have now just started losing again, down 4 more pounds but wish I didn't waste so much time.  Still wearing the same clothes....

I think that maybe I was eating too little.  I was consuming about 400-600 calories a day....just not able to eat much more.  I have now upped my calorie intake.  Hopefully, I will start losing again.

Anyone else?
