Hello Everyone,  I was just scanning through some of your posts. Everyone seems to be doing great. Remember, all of our bodies are different. For that reason, we all lose differently. Don't get discouraged if the scale hasn't moved. Make sure to stay on top of your exercise and diet and you will do great. Personally, my weight seems to drop one week, then wait 2 weeks, then drop some more. Right now I'm in the first of the waiting weeks. I was at 245 last Sunday and actually went back up to 249 by Tuesday, very frustrating. I kept at it and this Sunday I'm back at the 245 mark. No loss this week, maybe next week.  Here's how it happened from the beginning for me:

Hi guys, the scale moved this week...slow but it moved.  Down 2.2lbs for the week. Fortunately I am in the 250's.  The best news is that I am no longer in the Big & Tall sizes.  Picked up some shorts in the 36-38 range that fit a little snug but I fit in them.  Size 40 waist jeans.  I haven't been in size 40 for about 11 years.

Starting Pre-op: 352.2  RNY 11/13/2006: 345.2 Last Week: 261.8 This week: 259.6 (-2.2 lbs) Total Loss: 92.6 lbs Have a great week! Greg

Hello Gentleman It's nice to see everyones posts. Danny you doing great and losing fast bro. First Consult  10/06         354 lbs Post Op           2/5/07       345 lb Surgery day    2/5/07        345 lbs Today               3/25/07     309 lbs  Total Loss                         36lbs in 7 weeks Had my 6 week check up with my bariatric surgeon and she says I am right on track at a %20 loss. Working out 5 days a week now 30-40 minutes cardio on either the treadmill or eliptical and circuit training. Getting real strong again and I am sure I am hanging onto muscle weight. I have the good fortune not to be "doughy" as my wife calls it. The weight loss is not as much as others  BUT!!!!!!!!! I am about to be in some 42" inch jeans from 46" and my 3X undershirts look like night gown LOL. I wore a 19" 36 button down shirt today and a pair of 44" Dockers with ass falling out of em. Hadn't wore those in 2 years. YEAH FOR ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Here is a funny thing. I can see my  "manhood" in the shower now . Can I get a Boo Yeah?

Ok well i'm not new to the forums but new to the Men's forum, saw your invitation on the VSG forums. I am down 75 pounds from my surgery date on 1/10/07.

I am not exercising, besides 2 days of golf ( in a cart ) last week I set a 3 day exercise goal and chose not to begin. My past pattern would be to beat myself up over this; I am going to try something new... relaxation.. self acceptance...contentment.. I know that a moderate exercise program will benifit my physcial and mental health and is another tool fotr long term success. I await the day I it becomes important enough to establi**** until then; I will enjoy my "normal" weight and be gratefull for what I have not what I want...  What a long strange trip it's been. Congrats to all for their progress.. keep fighting the good fight.. Have a great week Kev-
