Calling all Dec. 15th Post-Ops

Just wanted to check in on our 5th month anniversary. How is everyone doing? Feeling better than ever...I hope! Feel free to share anything else you'd like.




*How much weight have you lost since surgery? 76.8

*Have you hit any stalls this far out? How long did it last? 1 that lasted 3 1/2 weeks

*Do you exercise if so how often? I walk and lift weights at least 4 times a week

Slow Loser Jill checking in!!!

57 pounds lost

I stall for 2 out of 4 weeks a month.  Frustrating to say the least.

I walk a mile everyday but don't belong to a gym.  I want a treadmill as it's getting super hot outside.  No weights.

Congrats on your success this far, Jill!!! Funny you want a treadmill and I have one and I rather walk outside. LOL

Stalls are very frustrating!!!

I feel fantastic and am loving every new change!  The energy I have and the fact that I am now the active and happy mother my family needed and deserved.  Shoot it's what I deserved and I am just ecstatic. We are only 5 months in and the changes in every way are phenomenal.

*How much weight have you lost since surgery? 92 pounds

*Have you hit any stalls this far out? How long did it last?  I really haven't stalled much, instead my loss seems to slow down  but I still lose and then one week out of the month I
 have alot of pounds drop.  I guess I can't complain because I am still losing either way and it still averages out to a decent # for the month. 

*Do you exercise if so how often?  I do Zumba &Yoga 3x a week (back to back class), fast walk/jog 3-6 miles 5X a week, and lift weights 3X a week.  I also do the Billy Blank Bootcamp dvd's or Shimmy from Fit tv if I miss a class.

You are doing great with the weight loss!!! And you seem very physically active. Congrats to you!!

Thanks and congrats to you too!  Yes, I try to be as active as possible now that my knees and hips don't hurt anymore when I move around I am enjoying getting out ther and trying new things.  I use to use food to relieve stress and now exercise.  I am loving that the pain is gone and I can do this now. My chest still hurts when exercising but nothing that a few ace bandages doesn't fix.

Congrats on your loss thus far!!!

*How much weight have you lost since surgery? 82
*Have you hit any stalls this far out? How long did it last? I try to weigh in EVERY Sunday but sometimes I sneak a weigh in, but I have not had any real stalls lately...I normally lose 2-3 lbs but last week I lost 5 I think.
*Do you exercise if so how often? I justed started exercising, using my treadmill at least 4 times per week and I use my 3 lbs weights while on it.

Trying to reach onederland no later than July 1st (199) and 100 lbs lost by July 15th (194)

Congrats on your weight loss, Gorgeouslsa!! I also want to lose 100 lbs by July 15th!! We can do it!!

Keep me posted!

I am Dec. 4th but I didn't get to post then so I will jump in here.  I started out with a bang but find that I am really slowing down.  I am down 77 pounds.

Have stalls every 2 weeks without fail since the third month.

I exercise every day...4 days of weights and 6 - 7 of swimming.

Have something going on with my pouch.  don't know wha yet.  Went to the surgeon and he did an Upper Gi. Didn't find anything. 

Congrats on the weight loss!! I am terribly sorry about your problems. I know you must be frustrated when nothing can be found. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. I hope they find out what is wrong soon.

Big hugs coming your way!
