"I   was getting a little frustrated because people weren't noticing my weight loss and I wanted to shout it to the world.  

I had the same thing happen to me. People at work were more concerned that I am switching from night to dayshift, than my friggin health. wat's up wit dat?
The rumors were rampant that I was jumping ship but nobody noticed I wasn't there for 6 weeks. 


I had some good news at the gym today. I am down 20.5 pounds since jan 11 and down an overall 7.5 inches.
I have lost 49 since, July 38 since surgery.
My diet has not been the best lately. Doritos and chicken wings. I should be shot, and deserve to be w/o question. Some habits are hard to break.

Keep up the good work everybody.

Topic: RE: How are we all doing?

Everything is going here. I'm in a nasty stall and stuck at 28lbs lost. I'm not liking it... and it's been a struggle with me to no snack when I get something for the kids. I've made some not so good food choices, and I'm ashamed of it. I told my husband that when they finish eating all thier snack foods that we're not buying anymore... I can't take the snacks I used to love being in the house.

I'm currently trying to up my exercise, and see if that helps with this stall. It's been a couple weeks and it's SO frustrating. I've tried calling the nutritionist and she just doesn't seem to help at all. 

I was waiting for the elevator the other day, and noticed that I looked smaller and my clothes fit better, I liked that. And I've had more energy. Which is always nice when you have a 4 year old  and 2 year old.  

Meet the Surgeon Aug 1, 2011 .... hopefully the surgeons office is right and everything will go fast and I'll have surgery later this month.

Thanks for posting this discussion topic! At 6 weeks out, I am down 30lbs... and including my pre-op loss, a total of 65! I feel great! I haven't been this low of a weight since college, so it is really exciting to be here! I am having an isue with pain and pressure when consuming liquids, so I went and saw my surgeon yesterday, and they gave me some meds for pouch gastritis. I'm basically back to eating regular food now, and everday is an adventure. I'm not getting the foamies or having to sprint to the bathroom to be sick which is a relief... dang intolerances!

Otherwise things are going great, and I'm very happy with my RNY!

It has been 6 weeks I feel great. I seem to be stuck at 32 pounds for the last two weeks, but hey 32 pounds is 32 pounds.  I find if I go more than 4 hours without a snack or meal I start to feel a little hungry.  My eating is a little off schedual because it takes me at least 2 hours to finish my shake.  People have told me they see the loss in my face and my cloths are baggy so all is good here.

Topic: How are we all doing?
I don't get too much time to post but I came on this morning and saw that we aren't posting much here anymore.  How about a little update so I can see how my fellow December surgeries are doing?

I am ok.  9 weeks out and I havelost  48 pounds.  I still feel so happy but I have noticed some things changing.  I find I am hungry more now than before and this took me by surprise.  It started last week. I don't seem to be craving anything but I just feel hungry all of the time.  I am keeping it in control and it is probably part of what I have to relearn, but boy it is hard.  I am not having a problem getting my protein in or my liquids and I exercise as best I can because I have to have my left knee replaced. 

I was getting a little frustrated because people weren't noticing my weight loss and I wanted to shout it to the world.  Then a friend told me that people are afraid to comment about rapid weight loss because they either feel you don't want to discuss wls or you are sick.  I was surprised.  That made sense to me! 

I also am surprised that I really care more about how I look now than I did before. 

9 weeks and many more surprises to go.  SO HOW ARE THE REST OF YOU DOING?????

Topic: RE: Craving carbination....
I'm there with ya. I've been craving a Ginger Ale or Sierra Mist, but I absolutely won't give in. I found a great recipe for a homemade lemonade on the back of my granular Splenda packet, so I am going to make that with some fresh lemons, limes, and mint leaves... so I feel like I am still getting a "treat" (or more like alcohol-free mojito LOL).

Congratulations!  Getting under 200 is SUCH a milestone, I can't wait myself - got a LONG way to go though. Good thing is, as soon as I hit 199, I'll have less than 20 to goal. :-)
