Thank you! I absolutely love this site.

Would you be willing to share your spreadsheet so that I can see what you are doing to be so successful. That is fantastic! I have only lost 35 in 8 weeks.

I received a measurement chart in the back of my WLS binder to put measurements on. I also received a measurer (if that is a word - LOL!) when I registered at the hospital. I measured pre-op, 2 weeks post op and now every month. I can mail you a copy if you don't have it.

I have Dr. Halmi. Absolutely love him! Had surgery 7/8. My weight loss has been really sssslllloooowwwww! I have only lost 23. I was losing a pound a day and now it is a pound ever 4-5 days. Not sure what is going on. I live in Spotsylvania, so I go to the Stafford office. I also attend the support group at a local hospital in Spotsylvania instead of driving over an hour to the Fairfax meeting.

I am glad to know I am not alone! I just want to be successful! Thank you for your help and encouragement!

Had RNY on 7/8/14. I have lost 19 and am at a stand still. I am walking 30-45 minutes a day.

Okay. I have been journaling and yesterday I had about 400 calories. However with exercise it made my total count for the day 200. I am going to try to up my calories today.

Black beans, chicken, and queso. Or subway tuna That is my go to.

Done!

Did anyone else experience a plateau in weight loss on week 3? If so, what did you do to start losing weight again? I walked 45 minutes today instead of 30. I am hoping that the extra exercise will help.

There is nothing there. It is blank.

I had been on insulin and pills for 20 years. Yes, 20 years! My doctor told me I no longer need them anymore! Bought tears to my eyes!

Thank you! I was prescribed Nexium too but I have problems with opening the capsule. I always spill some of the med, so I am not getting the full dose. Curious if I should be on something different to get full effect.

OMG! Sending prayers! I wad just thinking about you today because I know everything you went through when you were in the hospital the first time. Please keep me updated! I am so sorry that your surgery had not been smooth sailing. I can assure you Dr. Halmi will fix you. He is the best! I pray that God will show you favor and heal you quickly!

Does anyone use Ranitidine? My doc gave me Nexium but I have a left over med. also, if you use Nexium do you swallow it whole or sprinkle it on food? If so, how post op are you?
