One in tank top is day before surgery.
One in ravens shirt was yesterday.
DOS 12/5/12. Surgery weight 270. Current weight 235. Finally starting to see progress.

I made it to onederland (199.2) today. I would like to say it feels awesome but still have a lot of pain, so it's a goal that can't be enjoyed right now. Doing better on eating n drinking today and managing pain or trying too.

Had my 5 week follow up today. Down 40 lbs!

Got a clean bill of health from my GYN Oncologist. No need for radiation or chemo. Cancer is gone. Although I have what might be a severe UTI or Bladder infection. Hurts to walk, to sit, to pee, oh heck it hurts to do anything. Did a pee test and results will be in Thursday. Dr started me on the antibiotic for it now though. I get so weak with very little exertion. Run temperatures, just woke up freezing w a 101.3 temp. Ugh. Please let the antibiotics due the job!!!
Also he asked me are you sure this was more painful that the RNY. I said "Oh hell yeah." I guess he thought it wouldn't be. I said with RNY I was up and about right away. This one has beaten me up.

Got my most Protein ever today. Finally up in the 65g range! Its nice to be able to handle it without getting sick. So proud of all of us, its been rougher for some but its always nice to know we have this group to come to. With our troubles, questions and yes small triumphs!

Good Advice from a support group my Dec. people.
Try on you smaller clothes before you think they will fit. You may have a pleasant surprise.

Thank you every one. It's good to hear. This has never been in the family, So I guess I'm a black sheep, lol. I'm still going to the gym every day after work it helps. Went yesterday after the news. I walk on the treadmill for at a minimum of an hour some times an hour 45min. It feels so good. Each time I'm able to raise the speed by two mph. Yesterday I was at 3.6, it felt good other than the fact I got new shoes and they got to my heals. So I had to stop at an hour and go buy band aids :-)
I had asked for a hysterectomy 3 yrs ago cuz I knew, intuition, this day would come but the Drs wouldn't go by my intuition and take out so called healthy organs. So I'm honestly not surprised but had been expecting it. I'm a little numb, I guess. Not sure how to feel. And can't wait to get the junk out, finally, 3 yrs too late though. I worry about my daughter. I haven't told her its cancer and am not going to unless I have too. We've had one heck of 2 years w my now ex finding himself a GF. Her harassing me by texting horrible things, sending pics of him n her together. Monday eve at almost midnight she called 2 times and woke me up. I didn't answer and texted her back to ask her to stop, and I didn't say it that nicely either. So I'm trying to recover from a divorce from the love of my life for 25 years and I WILL recover from this too. This group has really been heaven sent for me. You all are a gift and I thank you. I THANK YOU so much.

Had my 2nd post op today. 6 weeks out and down 30lbs. Guess thats ok. The weight loss is slowing down but i guess as long as it keeps coming off ill be happy. I felt like its actually getting harder now than right after surgery. Anyone else feel like this or am i just crazy?

Sometimes I'm so thankful to be a guy

I use a Lose it app and it is also available online.

Yeah ask em why hot dogs come in packs of 10 but the Buns come in packs of 8

Mine did for a week. I became mildly dehydrated, stopped losing and actually gained weight (assuming Water weight). But it's gone now and losing. 200-300 a day is too little my opinion. Are you getting all your Protein in? I eat around 400-500. I am able to get all protein in. Your body probably is in starvation mode.
Gen :-) 12/15/12

That is too little of calories per my Dr. I am doing between 300-500 right now and he said that is putting me in starvation mode which can stalls things. The more Protein you are taking in the better and more loss you will receive. He also said Water helps things move along, so those 2 are big with weight loss. I am losing a pound every 2-3 days on average now. I would suggest doing some weight training, that is what my nut told me if I want to lose more weight since muscle burns calories faster. Maybe up your excerise routine to get over this hump? I have read a lot of posts about stalls throughout, but they all seem to not last too long, I am sure you will start losing again.

I am only a week post op.. had my one week appt friday and wasn't expecting any difference in the scale. my last weigh in at the doctor office was 271.. and after that nasty drink my weight at the hospital was 267... my one week weigh in was 258. I also feel like I should be losing more. I asked my doc what I was doing wrong and he told me that I'm not doing anything wrong. normally if you have a fatty liver it can take from there first. and make sure your drinking and doing your walking as well. I just want more results then what I am seeing. I get so discouraged when I read other peoples stories of big amounts of weight taken off... but then again I think of the ability to be tightening up as I'm slowly losing and don't have to worry bout the loose skin as much. we need to keep our heads up and keep positive. best of luck

I just walked a mile. In the rain. Which was perfect because you couldn't see the tears on my face. Not tears because it hurt or was hard or I was tired. Tears because I realized THIS TIME, if I do the work, IT WILL WORK. I'm not some freakish person who can't lose weight NOW.

I would trade my first born for a coke. True story
