I have done really well since surgery on 4/30. I'm down to 228 from starting at 320 on January 1st. I walk 4-5 miles a day and push it to 6 miles every once in a while. This is mainly a woman site so I won't be following the threads any longer. I have a great accountability partner, a wife that supports me, and I attend a support group for WLS patients once a month. Good luck to each of you and I pray you reach your WL goals and more importantly your goals in life. HW: 320 CW: 228 GW: 175 WLS: 4/30/13

It's not hard to figure out..Hit the big orange "Record" button, then hit the "Start" button and start your walk. When your finished hit the "Stop" button, then save your workout. You'll do fine. HW: 320 CW: 235 GW: 175 WLS: 4/30/13r

I went to York Hospital too. My surgeon is Dr. Monk. I had no problems at all. Very pleased with Dr. Monk, his staff and the York Hospital! HW: 320 CW: 234 GW: 175 WLS: 4/30/13

I'm walking 3 miles per day. HW: 320 CW: 255 GW: 175 WLS: 4/30/13

Great job Holly! Keep it up lady!! HW: 320 CW: 255 GW: 175 WLS: 4/30/13

From 320 on January 1st. to 260 this morning. Feeling pretty good. Some days are better than others. Walking 3 miles most days. HW: 320 CW: 260 GW: 175 WLS: 4/30/13

I use unsweetened almond milk, some unflavored greek yogurt to add more protein. I get about 34 grams of protein out of this. I use the chocolate Splendor. The chicken Soup is excellent too. 21 more grams of protein!! HW: 320 CW: 263 GW: 175 WLS: 4/30/13

Walk as much as you can. I walked everyday. I skipped 3 days because my knee hurt and got gas pains. As soon as I started walking again, the pain went away. Just walk as much as you can, even if it's only around the block at first. I'm one month out and I walk 3 miles per day and I feel great! Good luck to you and have a happy day!!

Hi everyone! I don't post on here too often, but I check in from time to time. Today marks my 1 month post surgery. I am doing well. I am down 22 lbs since surgery and 57 lbs since January 1st. I went back to work a week ago. It went a little slow at first, but I am back in the groove now. I walk 3 miles per day. I have a walking partner that is 9 months post op and has lost 130 lbs! My wife is very supportive and she is on a medical diet as well. She has lost 13 lbs in the last month! A few things that I feel help me are the support of my family & friends, I have a accountability partner that won't let me slack, I attend a RYN support group one a month and I NEVER want diabetes or high blood pressure again! Have a great day out there everyone!! HW: 320 CW: 263 GW: 175 WLS: 4/30/13

Back to work today! Just as I was getting used to being off everyday! HW: 320 CW: 264 GW: 175 WLS: 4/30/13

9 days out today. Walking 2 miles per day. Hoping to be up to 3 miles by this time next week. I'm down 10 lbs since my surgery day weight. Went for my follow up on Monday, doc says all looks good. He said wait until 3-4 months out and I'll really be excited about my results! I'm off all meds!! Blood sugar & blood pressure are normal....Yay!! I had the surgery mainly to get my blood sugar & blood pressure under control since I only have 1 kidney. So far it has worked!! HW: 320 CW: 275 GW: 175 WLS: 4/30/13

I came home on Wednesday too. I had my follow up today and they took out my drain and all the stitches. I feel pretty good. Fasting blood sugar was 73 this morning with normal blood pressure. PTL! It is hard to get the water in. Today I started my liquid diet and had 1 oz of potato soup and 1 oz of SF pudding for lunch & dinner. I had one protein drink today. I use the Bariatric Advantage vanilla. I put a pinch of SF jello mix in with 2 scoops of powder, mix it with about 8 oz of water and it is pretty good. I get 27 grams of protein out of the drink. Tomorrow I will drink one in the morning and one in the afternoon to get my protein in for the day. So far, so good. I take walks around the neighborhood and feeling better each day. I am praying for those that are struggling on here. Stay strong and remember why you decided to have the surgery. God bless! HW: 320 CW: 285 GW: 175 WLS: 4/30/13

My surgery was April 30th. I still have a drain in. I empty the drain 4 times per day. So far I recorded 15.8 oz of fluids removed since I came home on May 1st. My follow up is tomorrow. The doctor said he will remove the drain during the appointment. It hasn't been a issue or a problem. HW: 320 CW: 287 GW: 175 WLS: 4/30/13
