Just wanted to check in with my March surgery family. I'm doing great....feeling healthy. I work out a lot, but I'm at an almost 2 month stall. I'm down to 158 and started at 228, so no complaints here. I'd like to get to 130 at some point. I hope everyone else is doing well and happy and healthy.

HW- 228 SW- 214 on 3/12/13 CW- 158 70 lbs down

I haven't had a protein shake in at least 2 months. I stick with seafood and chicken. It seems to do the trick. Hair fell out, but I bought new hair, so it is all good.

Ceviche! With a slice of fresh avocado and a few tortilla chips. Perfecto!

I'm considering a memorial service for my hair. I swear every time I shower it looks like someone drowned a moderately sized squirrel in the tub.

HW 228 SW 214 (3/12/13) CW 160.5 GW 130ish

Don't feel guilty! Just take a walk for a bit and it all evens out

Seafood ceviche with 5 corn tortilla chips

I made a healthy-ish version of Thai red curry chicken with bamboo shoots. I had one tablespoon of steamed rice with it.

Sirloin tips and fresh sautéed mushrooms.

I'm still hanging about as well Montage. It's great that everyone seems to be progressing well. Here's my update also. Date of surgery: 3/12/13 Highest weight: 228 Wt. on day of surg: 214 Current weight: 172 Goal weight: 128 Total lost: 56 lbs Finally let myself buy shorts today....size 12. Yay!

I'm about 10 weeks out and hit my first major stall 2 weeks ago. I've been about the same weight now for a couple of weeks. Prior to that I averaged 3 to 5 pounds a week.

Small whole wheat tortilla pizza with fresh mozzarella cheese, fresh sliced baby tomatoes, and fresh basil leaves.

Thank you...I thought about you while I was in the hospital...and how positive you've been. All I did was cry and whine and occasionally vomit. My attitude was not as exemplary unfortunately. I am glad you are recovering well. Any regrets since you had some problems? I'm trying not to regret it, but it sure. Is hard not to.

Whew! Finally out of the hospital after 2 weeks. That nagging left sided pain turned out to be a huge deal. Just happy to not be home though

I've missed reading up on everyone. I'm 4 weeks post op and readmitted to the hospital yesterday. I will likely be here for a week or so. I thought I had pulled a muscle in the left side last week, but after a couple of days of icky fever and a CT scan it turns out I have "retroperitoneal inflammation involving lymph nodes". I'm a wound care nurse so I only heard blah blah blah. Google tells me it's a big deal, but there seems to be no consensus on the cause. If its not related to my RNY surgery I have seriously bad timing. Hope the world is treating everyone else a bit kinder. Kraney...thinking of you always. Get better soon.

I saw that on my fitness pal after I had already eaten the bad ones! I will definitely try those next time
