I too have to cut my pills, I use a pill cutter. I felt like an old lady buying my first pill cutter...lol...at 29. It really does help to cut them before you take them, well for me at least.

Hey all...just posting to check in at the 3 month mark

Started at -  347
surgery date - 331
Current - 272

So that's 16 pounds pre-op, and 59 pounds post-op which makes for a total of 75 lbs total...
I have gone from a 30-32 to a 20-22, I work out 3-5 times a week and I feel great.  Im kind of stuck in the 270's but Im working on it.  I have stalled with my shakes but Im working hard to get back on track with them.  I haven't had any hair loss and very few bouts of sickness due to food or dumping...so I must say that Im blessed.  

Ill be going to see my Dr. on march 13th and Ill post to let everyone know how that went.

I had my 3 month check today.  Labs are all good.  I have had no hair loss.  I lost 25lbs pre-op and have lost 51.5 lbs since surgery. 

I am exercising an hour a day six days a week.  I am so tired in the evenings I often go to bed before 8pm and sleep until 6am. 

I have had 2 weeks with 0 loss.  Not in a row. 

My NP said I may have to increase my exercise and change it up if I plan on making my 54 more pounds to go to hit my six month goal.

I have had some days that I am hungrier since ramping up my exercise.  My hormones are off and though I take a shot to stop my period, I have had two in the last 3 months.

I tolerate most foods well, but not salmon.  I have to avoid eating when I am stressed, or things get stuck.

Beef jerkey is my favorite food right now. Goes down well and has a ton of protein.

I am having at least two bowel movements a day.

I think that is about it.  I wish you all the best.

Brandy

I am halfway to goal and feel great. I've lost 52.5 and have 52 left. I haven't stalled ... yet. I'm just losing slowly but surely. I'm down from 3X to XL and down from 26/28 jeans to 16/18.

You're doing great. Keep up the awesome work. 

I was supposed to have my labs done this week and see the dr on Tuesday, but we're going out of town so I have to reschedule. On my scale I've lost 52.5 pounds and have 52 left so half way there .... hope the doc is happy too.

I just had my 3 month check-up as well and everyone was thrilled with my progress.  I get my blood work done next week, followed by a visit to the endocrinologist to see if I can remain off my diabetic meds.  Meanwhile, I can start tapering my Protonix and see how I do without it.  I've had no reflux or snoring since my surgery!!

I feel great alot better then I did, I was really regretting the surgery the first month, I have had 3 stalls I am in one now I was actually up 2 pounds which is weird I weigh myself everyday I try not too but I am compulsive. I have lost 34% of my body fat and 60 pounds since my surgery 11/20/08. Protien is the answer to helping break the stalls but it is hard to get it in I can barely eat and water intake is hard but I work at it everyday. I am constantly being referred to as hey skinny by friends/coworkers and family. It feels awesome great self esteem boost.
