HW 334 bypass surgery August 23 2012 goal weight 160 CW 191.2 loss to date 142 lbs

I'm on the losers bench!! Just got out of ICU, been walking about, gas is a problem. But got my wife by my side for most of the time.

So, the teacher in me wants to remind my fellow weight loss friends that you LOSE weight - you don't LOOSE it. We are losing weight - we are not loosing weight! Now - our skin is loose and our clothes are loose as we LOSE this weight - but we are NOT loosing the weight! Hope this little english lesson helps! Keep up the losing weight so that our clothes are loose (and unfortunately our skin is loose too).

Hey me too.. I also have surgery tomorrow. Lol

Awesome ....that's a lot and you haven't had the surgery yet....woot ! woot !

Decided to post my high weight and pre surgery pic. I lost 40lbs in the after pic:) it's encouraging to see the difference...can't wait to do it again in 40 more lbs

That is 6 weeks of weight loss...definitely need to stay determined!

Well it's 3am on the 12th March, my surgery day. Got about 7hrs to go until I'm put under.not sure exact time.
I just wanna sleep a bit more. They have me on a fast, no Water no food since midnight.

Well I have taken my before pics. Not to confident yet to plop them on here, but when I'm losing I'll definitely have more confidence to post. Just over 2hrs40min to go till my admission.
Good luck to everyone else.

Can I b on the march surgery group?
I had an RNY march 6

Thanks!

I was beating myself up trying to stick to 5 - 8oz shakes a day. I finally decided to eat a small amount of high Protein meat a day. I also am drinking massive amounts of Green Tea, this is great for cleaning out all of the fatty deposits in the liver and shrinking it prior to surgery. Only 5 more days until the looser bench.

Day 3 is a massive improvement happy girl today! My biggest piece of advise...walk....every hour. No matter what. Wake up at night? Take a lap. Bored of what's on tv? Take a lap. Much better because of it today.

Just wanted to tell everyone I'm grateful for each of you! I pray for your strong and fast recovery for all who have already had their surgery, please pray for me too I'm on day 3 of the liquid diet and its tough but I'm hanging in there!! God bless

I'm eating Jello right now, gas pains are def the devils work but i am going home in a little less than an hour, is anybody having loose bowel movements bad? From pain medication I'm thinking??

Surgery was Wednesday. Still very very sore but doing way better. Hospital is out of Jello. All I've had I'd Water and broth. I want JELLO!

Ontario here too:)

I'm originally from near Sudbury

Kapuskasing. And you are from what city?

Where I'm northern ontario are you?

Good morning! Post op 4yrs in may/13. I live in northern ontario. Nice meeting all of you!

Ok Im going to try my hardest to eat more and up my calorie intake Its just so hard.
Huh Funny thought: If somebody would of told me 4 months ago your going to have to make an effort to eat more everyday! lol I would of thought they were CRAY CRAY!

I am willing to bet you are losing inches! My doc said at our last group meeting that you lose weight hit a plateau. During the plateau you lose the most inches. I would suggest increasing your calories. You need to eat real food if you can tolerate it. My doc says he wants most of our Protein to come from whole foods. Meaning eating protein first, then your shakes, and finally Protein Bars.< /p>
When ever I stalled my clothes about fell off of me because I was losing so many inches. Calm down and stay on plan!

It would have been before surgery... Like a week or a month before. No worries, follow Drs orders. You won't feel a thing. Just a little groggy after and tired the rest of the day.
