Hmmm....8 weeks.....ok
I'm at 277, and I'd like to get to 255 and fit into my wedding dress. (22 lbs. Lofty goal, I know.....but I might do it!)

OMG. I know this is going to sound so stupid but it just hit me Im half way to my hundred goal !!!!
Happy dance~~~~

I started at 255 a week before surgery, 245 the day of surgery, and 209 today. I had a month long stall followed by losing 12 lbs in the past 2 weeks. I guess that is my reward for sticking with the plan through the stall! My surgery was May 10th.

My surgery date was 3/1/12. My HW was 228 my weight day of surgery was 209. My current weight is 138.

Protein Powder drinks that I actually crave! No swelling of the whey & mixes instantly! It's called "Nectar" brand & it comes in various flavors...my favorite is the Cappachino - it really is awesome! They have chocolates etc, as well as fruit flavors like Fuzzy Navel and Roadside Lemonade etc. I first bought it at "Bariatric Advantage" online but have since been ordering through Amazon. I tried 5 other brands before finding the Nectar brand and gagged at how they thickened and smelled funny...I am hooked on Nectar brand!

Congrats Amy! I had my Surg with Dr Nicholson on May 24- so I'm 4 weeks post op. I loved Forest Park, the staff, and of course Dr Nick. Best Wishes & Good luck!

Today is my one month anniversary

Thanks everybody!!!! Glad to know I'm not the only one......I sure always felt like it when I would defend myself and tell people that I really have been good on WW or the diet-of-the-week and haven't cheated and I don't know why I only lost a 1/2 lb in the past 3 weeks.......ugh; so happy THOSE days are over for good!!!! I'm actually pretty happy this is happening because even I was starting to question myself......Michelle, Chitowngirl and Robin: Welcome to the club!!!!! This is such an exciting time for all of you; and Robin, good for you for doing this in your 50's (I was 58 at surgery and I feel like a kid again!).
And to Finding Myself: try to use that extra energy to be excited, not nervous! You are going to be so happy and healthy and feeling so great by the end of the summer......and don't worry about being hungry.....at least for me (and I think many others) the hunger goes away; it's so nice not to have food control your thoughts any more!!! You'll do just fine.
Thanks again for the feedback and for reading my weekly blog.
