I told my boss and my dad (and of course my wife and children). Other than that, I felt it was no one elses business. I have seen a lot of negativity and I just didn't want to deal with it. When people ask me how I have lost so much weight, I just tell them Portion Control, lots of Protein, lots of Water, and no midnight Snacks anymore. I'm not lieing to them because that is really what is going on.
Good luck on your surgery and congrats on your decision!!

First of all, congrats on your decision!! I know you must be excited and your life is about to change dramatically for the better!
It is very rare that they have to "open you up" for the surgery. They tell everyone that it is a possibilty though. I'll be praying for you that everything goes smoothly. Good luck!!

I was getting nautious with Protein Shakes. Shortly after surgery, I switched to EAS AdvantEdge Carb Control Protein Drinks. They come in chocolate, strawberry, Cafe Caramel and some other flavors. It is an 11 oz drink with 17 grams of Protein, 110 calories, 3 grams fat, and 4 grams total carbs. I actually enjoy the drinks and to me doesn't have that protein after taste. My favorite is the Cafe Caramel, although I have to order it online. The other flavors I can purchase at Kroger or other grocery stores. Give it a try! I think you will enjoy!! Hope this helps!!

I was out of town this weekend so I wasn't able to weigh myself. I weighed in this morning at 215.5, down 4 lbs from last Saturday. Although I am excited about this, I do feel again this is a lot of Water weight loss. We went to Oklahoma to see my nephew. He is on History Channel's hit show "Mudcats" (great TV show btw!!!..His name is Teddy Good. Look it up!!) and it was HOT!!! 110 degrees took a lot of water from me. Anyways, I'm sure I will weigh in next week with a gain. Not discouraged though. It will all average out as long I am eating correctly and drinking lots of water. Congrats to all of you losers!!!

I am finally OVERWEIGHT!!!! WOOOHOOO!!! 17 more pounds to my goal!!!
Congrats everyone! Your doing great!!!!

Not sure what is going on with my body. Got down to 222 earlier in the week before going back up to 224 today. That is down 1 lb from last week. Oh well, better than nothing at all! Hope everyone is doing well!!

I only lost .5 lb this week, down to 225. Thought I did better than that, but oh well. Good luck everyone! You're doing great!!

Skinny and clever this am!.... "ONEderful"....
I relish the day that can be said to me!!
Awesome progress and breakthroughs everyone! This thread keeps me focused and hopeful. Counting down to sleeve day. Preop diet starts Monday. I'll be joining you all soon!
I agree, this thread does help me stay focused. I think about it during the week "I hope I lose this week so I can post good news." Just a little extra motivator.
Good luck to you, Jane, and congrats on your decision! What day is your surgery?

I went from 238 last week to 236.4 for a 1.6 pound loss this week. I'm not excercising either (other than upper body),,resting a bummed up knee due to a bike accident. You don't realize how much you miss excercise till you can't do it. Can't wait till I hear the results of my MRI then I can move on.
Hang in there! Praying for a quick recovery! You are doing great and I love seeing your posts!
