I am about 5 weeks Post op. I have lost 30 pounds. This January at my highest, I am now 66.5 lbs. I still count that.
I am working out at work, YOGA, walking 2 miles with a video at home. I'm going to start doing 3 and go up. My goal is to do a 1/2 marathon, and that is 13 miles, unheard of for me before surgery.
I have dumped 2 times, food didnt agree with me. I get full fast, I eat where I work at and use smaller bowls.
I have gone down 4 pants sizes and my pants are still getting to big for me.. Who wants to go shopping.
I havent keept track of my inches, but others have noticed.
I feel so much healthier, then I have in a long time. My Dad is excited I have lost more since I last saw him. I feel like crying for joy. I know this next year will be the best for me... Who knows what it might entail. Heck since I am single, I could meet the man of my dreams. I did have to have insulin in the hospital. I was in for 2 days, I couldn't get any thing down and wasn't that hungry.
Has any one else noticed they are less hungry.

They are really brilliant dogs. We have a boarder collie mix as well and he is the smartest dog I've ever experienced. I thought my lab was pretty bright before the boarder collie was adopted but wow the boarder collie is a brainiac!
Enjoy him! He'll delight your heart.

I have lost weight since the liquid diet I was on before surgery and from the first two weeks after surgery. So my inches are down from that for sure. But I have not taken any measurements at all as of yet. I guess I should start that. I just know my weight has come to a stand still and I dont notice any more of a change in the fit of my clothing either. Just wake up each morning hoping to finally see this stall come to an end!

I'm 6 weeks out and around 35 pounds down since surgery. I have almost no energy at all, probably due to a lack of protein. I'm averaging around 30g a day, mostly from skim milk. My pouch seems to hate everything. Some days I can manage a tablespoon of tuna, but eggs are out of the question. And sweet cold things (most protein shakes) make me vomit. This is very frustrating. Ironically, pizza and popcorn sit just fine in my pouch, but they do nothing for me nutrition-wise. I'm making steamed broccoli and tilapia for dinner tonight. Wish me luck! I'd love to start working out again like I was pre-op, but even walking briskly makes me want to pass out. I'm avoiding exertion until I can get my protein count back up.

I am about 7 weeks post op. and trying very hard not to think that this just may not work for me! It just does not make sense how I can not be losing when I eat no more than 850 at most calories per day, around 90 grams of protein, and exercise 30 minutes per day on treadmill along with resistance bands and working full time!! How long can these stalls actually last? It HAS to end at some point right? Even my surgeon is confused at what may be causing such this to be such a slow rate of loss.
