  3. It has been a while since I have been on this site however, all is well. I am still striving to meet my goal weight. I celebrated 2 yrs in December. I have 85 more lbs to lose to reach goal. I have been putting my Fitbit to good use. If any of you guys have a fitbit look me up.

      That is petty amazing! Congrats to u!!

  6. LCOLL, please don't get discouraged. I hit a stall at 3 weeks myself. I lost 28 lbs and the scale stopped moving. I am 9 weeks post op and what i did was started exercising more with walking and fitness dvds, increased my water and protein intake. I was also constipated and got some over the counter milk of magnesia and that helped me. The next thing I knew my scale started moving again. During my stall i was still losing inches. You may want to get a body tape measure and start documenting your inches in your legs,arms, neck, hips, stomach areas because this will assure you that you are still losing from week to week even when the scale does not seem to be moving. Please stay encouraged during this process. You will get past it.
  7. 63 lbs gone. 9 weeks post op. I feel great.

      Hey guys thank you so much for your well wishes. Just wanted to give you guys an update on where I am. I went and saw my surgeon for my pre-op visit on Nov. 7th and he told me then that he wanted me to start my pre-op diet and for Thanksgiving he allowed me to eat all of the turkey I wanted since it was a protein, a good amount of veggies w/o a lot of extra calories (butter, oils, grease). I could only have a very, very, very small portion of starch items. I must say I did very well. I have...
