I'm 11 months out and have lost 118 pounds. I'm hoping to lose about 40 more pounds and then hopefully have a Tummy Tuck.< /p>

I've lost 110 pounds in 10 months, so I thought I would try to do a "round off" that's similar to a cartwheel. I've been exercising a lot so I thought I could show my kids (ages 26, 23, and 20), who were all home visiting this weekend, how agile I am now. I'm a lot lighter, but I'm still 46 years old. Boy, did it hurt when I pulled my hamstring muscle trying to do the round off. My 20 year old had to carry me in the house. He's probably really glad I don't weigh 300 pounds anymore. Lol. As soon as I can, I'm going to start exercising again, but gymnastics are off-limits for this "old" woman. Ha ha!

Congratulations! I've lost 110 pounds after 9 1/2 months. I'm hoping to lose forty more pounds in the next 2 1/2 months. I'm really stepping up my exercise plan to try to accomplish my goal.

I use EAS Protein Shakes (ready made) from Wal-Mart. They're only $4.97 for four, and I really like them when they're cold. The strawberry and vanilla are delicious. They have 100 calories each and have 17 grams of Protein. They're also low carb.

Two of my incisions got red and infected looking a few weeks after my surgery. I tried putting antibiotic appointment on them, but one got worse. I ended up going to the doctor for oral antibiotics. It cleared up right away!

Congratulations!!!

I have a friend who had surgery last March and has lost 228 pounds already. He went from 488 to 260.

Does anyone else have problems with their stomach "growling" or just making lots of noise? It's not from hunger because it usually happens AFTER I eat. I guess it's just my stomach digesting the food.< /p>

Has anyone heard that taking Probiotics will help speed up weight loss? I've read that it will and am wondering if anyone else has tried it.

Tomorrow is my 4 month anniversary. I've lost 72 pounds. Sometimes, I have a hard time seeing the difference, too. You look great!

My surgery was July 20th, and I've lost 59 pounds. I started at 297 and am down to 238. I'm hoping to lose about 40 more pounds by Christmas! My daughter is getting married Dec. 29th, and I'm hoping to be under 200 lbs. for the wedding pictures!

I'm one month post-op. I've lost 36 pounds and feeling wonderful. How soon can I exercise?
-
Thanks everyone.

I'm 3 1/2 weeks post-op and have lost 35 pounds. I've been doing well except one of my small incisions is infected, and antibiotics don't seem to be clearing it up. Beginning yesterday, I brgan feeling really down and crying about everything. Has anyone else gone through any time of depression or feeling down?

I'm 2 1/2 weeks out and I constantly burp, too--especially after eating. It's so embarrassing, but if I don't let the air out, I'm miserable. Maybe I need to eat slower.

Ok. Thanks for your help.

This Friday will be two weeks since my bypass, and I think I overdid today. My surgery was done laporascopically, and I've been almost pain free for a couple of days; however, after sweeping and mopping today, I'm hurting in my left side again pretty badly. I hope I didn't rip something loose or something. My husband wants me to just lay around for a few more days just to make sure everything is ok.
Also, I'm a little concerned that I can eat more than just a few bites. I can eat about 4 - 6 ounces of light yogurt, sugar free pudding, or natural applesauce. My neighbor had the bypass in March and he could only eat a few bites at a time. Am I eating too much? I've lost a total of 29 pounds since I began my Pre-op diet on July 11th.

I would love to be a size 10 again (like I was when I got married 26 years ago). I'm a size 26w so I don't know if everything (mainly my stomach area) will go back to that.
Almost 1 year Post Op and 245 lbs Gone!
