8 Weeks Post RNY

Hello all.

Just a quick update.

I am 8 weeks post RNY. 

I started in October at 526.
My weight on surgery day 440
My weight today is 393. Finally broke 400!


In those 233 days since I started I have lost 133 pounds or .57 pounds per day.
In the 56 days since surgery I have lost 47 pounds or .84 pounds per day. Slowing down dang it!

I have hired a personal trainer as I seemed to have plateaued the last couple of weeks.  We have worked muscles that I did not know existed.  I do cadio on an elliptical machine and swimming.

I get in about 700-1000 calories these days a day but I work that off most days in the gym. 

Chicken is not really my friend yet, beef, and fish and shrimp are fine.

Down to only one proteien shake a day.

Take care!

 All I can say is WOW !!!!  What a amazing ride you are on !!!!  Awesome on the good job.   Keep up the great work !!!

Thanks! It has been an interesting ride.   I do miss diet coke though!

I finally shifted clothes down about 2 weeks ago. Nice to actually feel the progress.

 FYI....the farther post op you are the less that you will miss the diet cokes.    I have not had one in 5 yrs and I don't miss them one bit.   I switched my loves to Crystal Light Peach Tea.   LOVE that stuff !!!!

Congrats on an amazing journey so far. One comment-drinking protein drinks is not a bad thing. I get plenty from my food but still have one everyday for breakfast.

Amazing! Congratulations!!! You are an inspriration to me!

Sigh, I'm with you in Spirit!!! Congratulations!
If you have any 5X shirts, or 6X pants to get rid of, I'll take them.
Thanks,
