Shrinking Don

Lili your doing so good i would also like it to keep falling off at the pace it was the first 3 weeks but i hit a point where im probably 5 lbs a week now but as long as i keep losing im happy going to one of the support groups tomorrow subject will be mindful eating

Your doing great I also am 5 weeks out and lost 42 since surgery

I've been real careful to buy sample packs and stuff so I didn't waste money .im still on soft food and eat about 4oz at dinner tomorrow makes 5 wks post op I'm down 41 pounds and boy do I need to pickup some new pants these that I have are way to big now

I'm in Taunton every day I work at lopes construction

yeah i am down 40 lbs since 8/22 and 72 since i started this so im still wearing the same clothes but if i don't tighten that belt up down the pants come there way to big what i will enjoy is when i buy new ones is not having to go and pay extra for Big Mens clothes

please don't give up that would just let the insurance company win i had to do a 6 mo i can change program for mine it was all together 10mos from start to surgery it is worth whatever hoops you need to jump thru to do this for yourself

For me my sugar was getting worse I was heavy at my pcp office he had suggested wls because I drive a truck can't have insulin so I told him I would consider it called and went to a seminar in nov of 2011 my high weight was 301 in recent yrs 330 many yrs ago fast forward 9 mos aug 22nd had my surgery gastric bypass Rny 269 day of surgery today I'm 234 well on my way never been happier

So proud of you for not touching that soda

Ha ha not yet

you will love the new you diabetes is the main reason i did this im type 2 and doc was going to put me on insulin being a truck driver that would end my career so i choose wls

my high weight was 301 ilost 31lbs prior to surgery but you can really see the difference since surgery

5'8"

i week preop about 270lbs 3.5 wks postop at 234lbs

forget about the doc and where you had surgery duh guess i should read better lol

cheri just follow what your doctor and nutrishonist said i know mine said three meals and a snack if needed..you will start to be able to eat about 1/2 cup of soft stuff soon i can but still not hungry so i have to remind myself to eat who was your doctor and where did you have surgery

Going good I'm just over 3 weeks out down 33lbs and going back to work on Monday where you from I'm in new bedford

Some doctors will not perform surgery until u loose what they want it shrinks the liver

I had gained 21 lbs after my first visit i was told that was very bad and may get denied so i worked extremely hard to take that plus another 13lbs off i peaked at 301 surgery date was 269 you can do this

I am 3 weeks out today i'm getting better with fluids eating a little bit but food does not interest me at all i have lost 33lbs in 3 weeks and stopped loosing so i know i need to increase protein and food intake im sure my body is in starvation mode..Might go to support group tonight we have several a month here in southeastern mass
