I started at 232, did preop diet for 2weeks and day of surgery was 219. Came home at 236 and I am 190 now...so down 42 (date of surgery was 6/8/12) and 70 to go!

Ok so I guess from what I am seeing that this is normal! What a sick game we are playing ! I am walking about 2miles a day and I have 3boys 5 and under so I am on the move most of the day. good luck to all and thanks for the positive thoughts!!Omg me too...well 32 pounds:( how frustrating!!!HI, ok so I had WLS on June 8 and since then I have gone down about 32 pounds. Knock on wood...I have no intolerances at all and I am feeling great. My problem is that I have not lost anything this week! I have been yo-yo ing with the last pound since last Saturday...up a few ounces, down a few ounces and back up again. I started food on Saturday and I have been eating according to my nut plan and I have been walking...with is going on! I am beyond frustrated! I also feel like I am able to eat a lot more than I should. I am always hungry! Here is what a typical day could look like Poached egg Protein shake 3-4 tsps of chicken salad with light mayo Wasa cracker cheese stick 1/3 of turkey burger (no bun) 2-3 tsp of black Beans with a spoonful of salsa and a drop of low fat sour cream Water and Vitamin water zero through out the day Any thoughts??While I have not had the lap band, I am 1 month post op and I LOVE my sleeve. it was the hardest and best decision I have ever made for me! I have no (knock on wood) food intolerances at 1 month out thankfully. But i didn't really have a hard time with dairy, spices or anything else pre-op either. I just eat 2-3 ounces and I feel great! Best of luck!That is what called also as only a very limited amount of people know I had surgery as well.I use skim plus. It has 11 g of protein per serving. I Am iin ny so I just get at my supermarket.
