Same here. I'm in the gym at least 5 days a week doing 39 mins minimum of elliptical or treadmill & another 30 of strength training. I'm down 35 lbs so far.

scale is moving again!!
Going to gym 5 days a week--- usually for an hour (treadmill, bike, elliptical).
Trying to up my calories just a bit (as NUT advised) snacking on 100 calorie pack almonds & Holy Guacamole 100 cal packs-- avg about 800/ day. Trying diligently to get 60-80 g of Protein each day. Water seems to be my biggest struggle -- avg ~40-50 oz per day

June 6 and 30lb down.

Good luck! Nice to know someone else from Kisco!!

So I've been working out really well this last week. I had 2 days where I actually made if to my goal of 10,000 steps a day. Low and behold, I only lost 1 lb. I know, maybe muscle was gained or inches lost but it still sucks. I'm really bummed. Next week I go on vacation and am really worried. 6 weeks postop.

So far, so good. Down 37 lbs since I started my pre-op diet. Had my one month checkup and was cleared for the gym so I have started that...my first workout with weights was my arms ... boy are they sore...but a good sore
I have been one of the fortunate ones...I have had no issues with food, energy or feeling sick. I have been able to eat everything allowed so far...am on soft foods now and am tolerating everything so far. My biggest problem is still eating too fast...and not being able to get in all the fluids. I also need to be more diligent tracking what I do eat to see if I am getting enough Protein.
Other than that...all is well. Hoping you all are doing well also!

Major weight loss stall. So frustrating.
Only down 12lbs since surgery (6/6)--UGH
Feel great though -energy level is good

I haven't stalled yet. I just started purée food this week. I'm scared to get on the scale since the lose has slowed in the last week. All in all 24lbs down!

As June comes to a close, let's say congratulations once more to all of us. We have all taken a big step this month, one that took a lot of courage and preparation. Raise your Protein shakes...may all of our futures be brighter and healthier. Let's hit it!

I think gas-x has a placebo effect on people. The gas in your body is not in the intestinal track so it really does nothing for you. Only time and walking make it better.

I'm jealous. My doc doesn't slow mushies till 3 weeks. I'm going for my check up today and hoping to persuade him to let me start early.

How do people do these clear liquid diets. It's only 8am and I'm starving! It's going to be a long day!!

Congratulations!!! That's awesome. I'm down 17 and am finally starting to feel better. How about you?? PS. I live in Westchester. Is that close enough to NYC???

Nawwwww no , just remember you have had major surgery and it will take a while for your body and your mind to adjust . We are all here if you want to ask anything or need advice . I'm on different instructions from my Doc in Australia .... 2 weeks of clear fluids ... It's going to kill me cause I'm so bored of it already but I just challenge myself about how much I will weigh by then . Keep busy x

I'm here. IV is in and I had some Valium to calm me down! I'm scared but ready!
