I started at 376 day of surgery, and today was 314. I think exercising is really making my weightloss pick back up again. With perseverance, I'll make my 6 month appointment at or below 300.

For those of you who say you are losing too slow, just think at where you would be if you HADN'T started this journey. We aren't losing weight. We are GETTING RID OF IT! I hope all of us can be proud of how far we have gotten and can be excited about every little ounce we get rid of for good!

AnniesMommy - I'm so proud of you!!! I am hoping I can join you on the other side. How is the post op going? I am super excited about my surgery Nov. 8th.

I JUST started having to take Zoloft for anxiety. Against everything I've ever believed about taking meds for my emotions (my whole background is in psych, so I see what these drugs can do to people over time). It got to the point where I was having panic attacks over the traffic in pittsburgh (which IS really awful, so I am justified! Haha)... But ever since I started taking a 1/2 tab of the lowest dose, I have totally found myself again. I feel "normal" again... Not tense and anxious all the time. So nice. My doctor said that gastric bypass can really throw hormones off, especially in women, and he sees this happen a lot. He counseled me for over an hour (I only had a 20 min appt). Lol he made me realize that I'm NOT crazy and it IS ok to accept help once and a while... Even in the form of meds.

I had to quit smoking 6 weeks before surgery. They even did a nicotine test on me a week before surgery. It was tough. Probably one of the toughest things I've done. But now being 3 1/2 weeks post op, I can honestly say I don't want to smoke anymore. I even bought a pack of smokes, took about 2 drags and threw the whole pack away. It's just not the same anymore. I'm actually enjoying being a non smoker now!

I had my surgery yesterday. All went well, fair amount of pain, but doing fine. Lying in my bed just trying to take it all in. Let the journey begin.

Okay so step back and look at what you wrote....your surgery was less than a month ago and you've lost 14 pounds. You're losing 1/2 a pound a day. That's 1750 calories worth of fat that you are burning off your body daily. You are doing fabulously! Try to stop fretting about the number on the scale, do what your doctor says, and enjoy the ride! You'll get there!

I'm 5 weeks out, and one of my favorite meals is watermelon with cheese an crackers,, I think I could live on it the rest of my life lol

I'm finally starting to find stuff I can eat and not feel like I'm eating pudding and yogurt all the time. I tried watermelon today and it went great! I also had some cheese and some cottage cheese with pineapple. I found these little 4oz cups of cottage cheese. I couldn't eat a whole one but it was still pretty good. I don't like that I have to chew chew chew the cottage cheese but I do it anyway. It's a texture thing. Had a few crackers with the cheese.
I bought some ham salad from the deli. It looked finely chopped and mixed. Gonna give a little bit of that a shot.
I'm really just trying to find other ways to get Protein in. I can't eat eggs and I am not a fan of Protein Shakes.< /p>

Sucky thing happened today. I used to hardly be able to eat eggs because they gave me such indigestion that it made my back hurt.
Well, I'm in the stage where I can have eggs. I actually like egg salad so I boiled some eggs and mixed one with some light mayo. It was decent.
Holy mother of indigestion! Guess I still can't eat eggs! It was twice as bad with a smaller stomach I guess. I guess I thought it wouldn't still affect me like that! So much for eggs for protein!

Welcome!!!

Thanks I didn't have a drink lastnight just didn't want to have any problems so I'm goin to wait and look forward to something!
