My first weigh in..
on 9/14/17 5:07 am
So surgery was Sept 1st at Humber River Hospital.
Surgery weight was 331 and today I weigh in at 305.3
So down 26 lbs in 14 days..
Not sure if that's on track with anyone else but I'm pleased with it..
Now I wish to give a HUGE thanks to those *****plie to the many questions I ask on this site..
I have no partner or support group here at home..So this site is my support group.
Cheers everyone and thanks again.
Good on ya! And I'll be support with you if you like. I'm 6.5 months out, but I remember being much the same with my loss. I got from 391 to 338 on my own and then investigated the RNY. It went from about 330 to 316 on the one week of opti that I had, then after surgery it was actually up to 320 because of the fluids they pump in you. Once I got home and started sipping, peeing, sipping and so on, it started to fall off fast. As I recall it was down around 300 within a week and a half, and has dropped steadily since. There's the odd slow-down as the body adjusts, don't worry about that. The clinic always said that it's not really a "stall" since the tool is still working. It's your body adjusting and that's when dimensions are changing more (as was my case). Soon the number moved again and it's cycled through this a number of times. Normal.
CHeers man, enjoy the ride!
Wow, you're doing great! That's an amazing loss, and in only 2 weeks; woohoo!
Congrats on a successful surgery. How are you feeling?

Congratulations!!! Your results are fantastic!
You and I have the same surgery date. I am down 19.5 since surgery, 29.5 since Opti. I'm thrilled with my loss so far!
Support really is such a big part of the journey. Thank goodness for this board eh!!
If your near Mississauga, I started a coffee/support night once a month. The next one is Sept 25. Everyone is welcome! I'll post details on Ontario board in a few days. :)
Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. Choose happy.

That's a pretty big loss. The first month can be a pound a day. It'll slow down a bit soon and my even flat out stop for a while.
Personally I try and limit my time on the scale. Once a month works for me.
