  1. I had my surgery done 8/12/13 my weight before surgery was 451lbs, my weight the day of my surgery was 431lbs, and my weight as of yesterday was 348lbs. I just recently got over a 9 month plateau. I have yet to have a successful fill so I've basically been losing on my own. During my plateau I tweaked my diet and my exercises.

  19. Wow I'm glad you didn't get upset after that situation but I know I would have! I would have said a few choice words and then emotionally drank a chocolate flavored protein shake just because I was upset! .:high five:. For being the "bigger" person!!

  26. I had/ have the same thing. My hiccup like spasms hurt really bad for about the first 2 weeks after surgery then the pain subsided. I still get them when my stomach is empty and when I've eaten enough food. It is very annoying but it's kind of helpful also.
