I had to maintain my same weight for 6 mos. If I had reduced my BMI at all, from what I understand, I would not have qualified based on my insurance.

Hey everyone..
I'm 5 weeks post op and only lost abt 20 lbs:(
I take my Vitamins, at least 60g of pro daily, I do have room for improvement with exercise & Water intake. I am just so disappointed... I expected so much more! Surg-9/11...SW=244. CW=224
I would appreciate any feedback. Anyone else experience such a slow start??

Thanks so much everyone. This will be a tremendous help! Please keep the suggestions coming:)

Today, has to be a great moment for me in my journey so far. My seven year old daughter comes and wraps her arms around me, and as she noticed that she can hug me and her arms fit around me,she looked up and said momma, I can finally hug you and squeeze my arms around you. You are getting skinny and I am so proud of you. I just teared up and said thank you baby, I just felt so good to hear my kid say such a nice thing. What a moment in my journey!! 62 pounds down so far, and feeling good.

Everything I have consumed has been at room temp. My Dr said this reduces spasms in the pouch. Apparently cold temps can cause problems. I have to say I haven't had any problems by following this rule. I am 8 days post op & on liquids only until 8/27????.. I drink 3 Proteins shakes per day plus whatever water/crystal light I need to consume to meet my Fluid intake. Everday I feel a little better????????.

I want to have long tone legs, be able to fit in clothing that look fabulous on me, get into single size numbers (6,8), I'm looking forward to going down to a smaller shoe size I'm in a 12 now, I want to get to a 9 or 10, get my sexy back! Gain and keep control of what I put in my mouth, be able to run without pain, have random men offer to buy me drinks and hurry to just to open the door for me. lol Yeah, that would be nice.

Hey everyone☺
This is my first post!! I have found this board so helpful with all the information..
I had my surgery on September 11. I feel very good today and improve a little each day. No major complications & have found a daily routine to get in all the shakes/vitamins/calcium... plus abt 3 more pills a day.
Thanks to everyone for being such a wealth of info!! Looking forward to the new me????
