things are going great here....congratulations every one on your success. my surgery was july 23rd and I have lost 118 lbs....feeling great

Isn't it amazing! I just worked out for an hour.... 6 months ago my work out consisted of 4 minutes of trying to tie my shoes.

Highest weight: 378
Surgery date: 07/23/13
Current weight: 298
80 pounds GONE

I got married to a man who loves me no matter what size I am, and have 4 beautiful girls who love and support me and Im very thankful for that and many other things.

Hi all! This is my first post. I had RNY on July 24, 2013 and so far I have lost 23 pounds. The only real issues I have had are I can't get the Protein Shakes down at all. They make me gag. I am getting in all the Protein I can through food, although I think next week I should be cleared to do the Protein Bars. I have also had times when I was just exhausted. The past few days I have been nauseous in the mornings, so I think the pouch has apparently decided it's not a morning person. I had a stall for a week, but now I am losing again. That's my story so far. I was really glad when I found this forum - it has helped so much in making me feel there are people out here that know exactly what we are all going through.

322 today...yay...my goal is to be under 300 by October 9 th...

282 lbs.... down 6 this week

Last week 213
This week 208
I wish every week was like this!!

332 today. ..not much but it seems I'm averaging 4 pounds a week..wish it were more

I was wondering about that because when I walk my hips are now hurting as well.... isn't losing weight fun:)

To all of you who had surgery in the past couple of weeks best of luck to all of you. you have made the best choice to get to your goal weight.
Im not going to lie to you, its tough at first but as anyone will tell you Sip all the fluids you can stand. get in protien by whatever source you can. walk your butts off it helps ease the paint and starts you off on the exercise train.
If something/you does not feel right CALL YOUR SURGEON!!!
But it will start paying off soon, dont cheat!!! exercise and hit your daily numbers.
oh and my advise put the bathroom.scale in the closet. your body will vary daily between 2 to 3 lbs based on.alot of factors.. dont dive yourself crazy!!!! weight yourself once a week or bi-weekly. remember its just a number. judge your progress on how you feel and how your cloths fit.
I wish all of you the best health and a speedy recovery.

Have you tried unflavored Protein in Vitamin Water or crystal light? It's not great, but tolerable if ice cold. I would definitely up your protein and exercise. Check with you doc to see what exercise is ok at this point.
