I was at 295 lbs and now I am at 249 lbs!!

Surgery October 2, 2012 and down 46 lbs!!

Don't know how much you can tell!

Today I am 4 weeks post op and I am down exactly 40 lbs! I am super proud! Didn't think I would ever be under 260lbs! I was 295 lbs day of surgery and I am now 255 lbs! I already feel so much better and I can't even imagine how I will feel when I lose the other 105 lbs! :-)

Welcome Alecia!

I had surgery October 2, 2012 and have lost 36 lbs so far and I can already tell a difference! Sex is alot better! I think it is a combination of being able to move alot better and also confidence!

I had surgery October 2, 2012 and so far I am down 31 lbs! So exciting to have my clothes getting looser and my watch and wedding ring are too big!

I am 3 weeks post op and down 30 lbs!! I am starting to notice things like my watch and wedding ring being too big and my pants and shirts being loose! I'm so happy! So far this is the best thing I have ever done!!

Welcome!!

Any ideas for good food while on the puréed stage? I start on Wednesday and want to go grocery shopping and have everything ready!

I'm drinking no sugar added cranberry juice mixed with equal parts Water. My doctor allows us to have natural sugars. Just waiting on the doctors office to open so that I can call and maybe get something to help clear this up.

Great! I'm 2 weeks post op and this morning I feel like I'm starting a urinary tract infection. I am uncomfortable so I took some pyridine to try to ease the symptoms. Hoping this wasn't something I'm not supposed to take. Ughhh!!

I use the Body Fortress ones from Walmart! I just bought the chocolate Peanut Butter flavored one and it is yummy!

So nice to meet you! I'm new here also!

Hello! My name is Ruthie and I am 38 years old. I had Gastric Bypass on October 2! So far I have lost 22 lbs! It has been tough sometimes when I see food that I loves eating before that I can't have right now but I just keep my "eye on the prize"! I am determined to so this for myself!
