SherriB.. I had my surgery RNY on Nov 18th also.. I think the Holidays would of been harder if I had been further out! I am glad they are past us now! Hope everyone is moving through this journey well and learning to find excitement in each new discovery.. Not just the # on the scale! I am down 60# but my stalls can last for weeks... My NUT says since I only have 37 to goal , they want it to slow now. Just have to stick to the plan daily! I would of liked to of had warmer weather to be out in for increased activities instead of indoors at the health club but this terrible winter in Ohio surely can't go on forever!

That is wonderful! Congratulations!!!!!!

I saw my doctor this morning for my 9 month checkup. I'm no longer overweight!!!! I have a BMI in the normal range for the first time since 1985! Wooohooo! I am healthy, active, and eating right - she said I was a textbook example of weight loss surgery success. :-)

Hi, I had my surgery November 18th, and your right I hadn't noticed before but there are not many of us that dared to do this right before Thanksgiving. I did have a bite of everything on Thanksgiving including turkey and pumpkin pie. I had no problem until the next day when I thought I could eat some leftover turkey. I still struggle eating meat, but I'm losing so I'm happy.

I'm frustrated too. I promised myself I wouldn't freak out about stalls -- but I'm officially freaked!!????. I haven't budged in 8 days. I was at an average 485 calories per day and 60 G Protein. I've tried increasing to 750 and 80 g of protein. I've tried more Water. I've tried eating a saltine. I've tried adding more treadmill time. Ugh!!

My name is Dyan and I had an bypass on Nov 18th... Would love to join the Nov group.. Not sure how to find friends here... When I click on it .. I am told " not allowed" ??? Any help out therefor this 64 yr old Grandmalol. Thanks

I am 20 days post op, I feel fabulous !! I am down 28 pounds. This was the best decision I ever made for myself ! HW/SW 278, current is 250.

Soooooo.... Okay so no one ever said to me I was fat before, but I knew it and so did everyone else. But now I've been faced with people that are like "OMG! You're too skinny! You need to stop losing weight". Now I realize I've lost a little too much, and the dr has assured me this is normal. But I'm just wondering where people get off? Why do they think it's appropriate to tell me I'm too skinny, yet thought it was inappropriate to tell me I was fat?! Especially those people who aren't in my close circle of friends! My close friends are so encouraging. And I am so thankful for them, but I'm seriously sick of the others who think they have the right to offer their opinions, when they don't! Grrrrrrr!!! Okay just had to vent.
