Welcome sarah: You will find here that the need to explain and defend your action or reasons for surgery are not needed. We are all on this journey and for the first time like many of us u may find here a group of people who really really get it! Good job so far. And GodSpeed on this journey

Kemo, I haven't notice any increase in loss with exercise. But it is steady. Candace. :-) actually I have not updated my ticker I am 49lbs from goal and it still feel like it can't really happen. :-)

Congrats!!! Just stay focused, when u start eating make good choices. I'm 50 days out and down 54 lbs this morn. I had two weeks in Tw middle where I lost almost nothing when I starte eatin. But I didn't freak just stuck tints plan and kept My body moving everyday. It will Come off!

Congrats. Get ready for the ride of your life!

Thx again everyone. Yes I feel sooo amazing. My energy is beginning to level out. I make it though The work day without getting tired out now. And my workdays are not light. I am playing racquetball almost every morning. I am down 2 lbs today bringing me to 52 lost and 51 to go! Less to lose than I have already lost!!!!!! Wow I can't believe it!!!!

How about Well, you can kiss my A now before its to small for you to find!

Well, I pretty much eat protein. Not a lot of carbs but I do have some carbs. I seem to lose 3-5 lbs then stall and go back up and down for 3-4 days and then lose again then back up and down. Each time after a couple days I go lower on the downward slope.

Heck freaking yeah! I just amazed. 50 lbs in 38 days. *worlds dorkiest happy dance*. So in the last two days have have had 15 people ask about my weight loss. (people who don't know about surgery). I just say "I stopped eating" and actually lol. :-)

Congrats bro. I soo get it. I'm loving booths now too!

Thx everyone. :-) it is surreal. I am about 3 lbs from my lowest adult weight!!!! I can't wait to see the scale below 220!!! @heatherr I don't know anyone in Montreal, I wanted to do something fun so I bought tickets to see the band U2 in concert there on July 9th. I decided to just fly somewhere to see a concert, then picked U2 and since I have never been to Montreal figured why not? :-) l try to live an Epic life. One where when I lay my head on the pillow at night I smile. :-)

Congrats bro. What a great accomplishment!

Thx raine. I hope I make it. I am playing racquetball 5days a week now. So I hope that keeps it burning. :-)

My goal at surgery was to lose 40 lbs by July 9th when I am flying to Montreal to see U2. Well that's done. :-) so I changed it to 60. 10 more by the 9th and I make it. :-)

Lol thx Meg, Well at 50 lbs lighter at least there is no broken furniture, or displaced hips while doing said dance. Lol

Finally get to exercise! I'm not lifting yet. But I used to love raquetball. So I started back today. I played for 45 mins. Wool was I tired. Lol.

Absolutely fine. I haven't had any trouble with pain my incisions are pretty much healed. I don't notice them at all or any soreness in the muscle even after a long work day. I have been healing great. I just really wish I could get more protein in and fluids. Feels like I deal with and think about eating more now than before. Constantly tryin to get fluids in and protein. I was kinda worn on it yestarday and just decided I was not going to worry about it. So I didn't drink much or eat much at all. It was really nice to just have a mental break. Then last night I was really thirty so I got in about 40 oz liquid in like 3 hrs Today I am back at tracking and making it work. But I can see some day I will just need a mental break

Well 1 month out, I'm down 47 lbs from 273 to 226!!!! It is just surreal. My blood sugar has returned to 81-91 each morning, I am 6 lbs from my lowest adult weight!!!! I'm feeling good and shrinking daily. What a great month it's been.

Leslie: U will love it. To have tried my whole life to lose weight with no success and suddenly lose without being hungry, is just amazing.

32 over sewn is what I was told.

My post op diet has been less than it should be. I have had bad reflux which has made it hard to eat and drink. I am taking prilosec and that has helped ALOT in the last 2 weeks. Basically for 5 days I was clears only, then 6 days full liquid, mostly protien shakes (muscle milk lite, 8oz 15 gr protein) then 11days out I started soft stuff. But misty stayed liquids. At 21 days I started fish and pureed tuna salad. And slowly adding whatever in. My day looks like this Breakfast 4 oz Greek yogurt 10gr protein and then I sip a protein shake on my way to work 15gr Lunch 4 shrimp for almost 20 gram protein Dinner hard to eat much but I have been doing 3 oz bake salmon or chicken. 12-15 gr protein. I have a low calorie Gatorade with me all day and am finally getting about 60 oz liquid in. So that's been it. I have tried, taco meat, cheeses, fish, hamburger patty, etc. Mostly I eat meat, I have a hard time getting food in so I have focused on protein mostly. I am doing a chewable multi vitamin, prilosec and that's been it.

So I am down 21lbs. Not much really but I can't sit on a hard surface because the pressure on my butt bones hurt. Lol. That's a first!

Coffee was on my clear liquids list lol

I love coffee!!! But not just any coffee. I love it so much I roast my own coffee beans. There is just nothing like fresh beans! Heck I even have a coffee molecule tattoed on my forearm. :-)
