Good morning! After hovering at 201 and 200 for the last three weeks, I FINALLY am in Onederland. I weighed in this morning at 196! Tomorrow is 3 months since my surgery and I'm down 57 lbs. I'm feeling great and am so blessed to have had such an easy recovery. Have a loving Valentine's Day! Blessings, Jennifer 253 / 196 / ???

That is certainly a wow moment! You should be VERY proud of yourself! Congratulations and stay happy, Laurel

Congratulations Lisa That is wonderful and inspirational!! I was also very tight in 26/28 pants... should have been in a 30/32... and I'm down to a 24... I've mostly lost in my upper body and legs, but still have a significant tummy and hips... but they are getting smaller every day. Think I'll go try on some smaller clothes! Tammy

WOOHOO that's awesome!!

Yes, that is the word from the Physicians Assistant in my surgeons group. I need to wait 10 minutes between bites! Geesh! I never thought I scarfed before surgery even, but 10 minutes between bites is really hard for me to do. I am gonna try though, cause I surely don't like the nausea and that happens if I eat faster. Since starting the solid phase of the post op diet at 6 weeks post op I have gotten sick and barfed after some of my meals. Meals (ha ha if you an really call them that) For the last 6 or 7 weeks I guess at times, unless I eat slothfully slow I end up with a sore pouch, nausea and then vomiting I notice unless I go really really slow, I just cannot tolerate eating more solid foods. Also, if I talk and visit with others while eating my pouch seems to fill with air and that hurts too or can cause the full nauseous feeling to be worse, so that is a no no. Is anyone finding eating at the stage hard also? Thanks Nov. pouch babies! Tami
