1 month since surgery

Hello everyone,

I have lost 22 pounds since Jan 19th. I am very proud of myself. I have been doing good but having trouble getting the protein that I need. I go back to see Dr Gould on Friday and we will see how things look from his view.

I go to the gym everyday and do cardio and lift weights for toning. I walk a mile in 20 min on the treadmill working my way up to 1.5 miles in 20.  I do 15 mins on the Elliptical machine with a varied course. 

Well I just want to say:  WOW!  You are doing awesome!!!!!!!

That is impressive!! Keep up the good work. Sounds like you are on the right track for success.

That is fantastic!  You must be relieved to have the surgery behind you.... - I am just starting the process and have an appointment at DHMC on the 2nd.  The process won't move fast enough for me.  I'm hoping I have all of my ducks in a row with what my Insurance company thus pushing the process a bit faster.  I really wish I had a clue how long it will take to get my surgery date... 

Did you have the band or bypass?

Thanks, I started the whole process in Feb 08 and had surgery on Jan 19 2009. I did everything my insurance wanted and more. Dr. Gould and his team are great and you will love them.

I had the Bypass, and have lost 25 pounds since. I am finally below 300.....yahoooooo!!!!!
