I also have pain in my neck, back and shoulder. After I'm up for a little I get week in the knees and a little lightheaded. It does get a little better each day. I've noticed that a shower and getting dressed wears me out-- need a nap after. Also my feet are swollen (but getting better each day!) Good news though -- no heartburn/bile reflux and no hunger!

I had mine Tuesday. The hernia was bad-- a prior surgery had come loose again and the mesh hadn't dissolved (lots of scar tissue). Hernia repair and RNY took 4.5 hours- I'm still extremely tired and not able to walk much but it gets better every day! Still taking pain meds. We should keep up with each other-- I also had mine for medical reasons (Bile Reflux). I was sleeved two years ago so I only need to lose about 35lbs to goal weight.

Hi! I had sleeve done in 2013 and now my gerd/heartburn is out of control. I'm trying to get approved for the bypass but so far insurance has denied it. Any secrets you can share to getting approved?

175-- I gained a lb-- but it's stopping there. I've been lax in exercising because of family visiting from out of town but that has to stop. Here's to a new week.

Starting weight 174 Goal weight 165 Hoping for a lb or two a week and a leaving room for a stall of a few weeks! Good luck everyone!

Official 6 month weigh in at the Dr--174

Can't believe it...173 this week! I might re weigh tomorrow just to make sure!

You look great Bea'

176 today!!

Bea, thanks so much for the encouraging comments last week! Down 2 lbs and so excited! 177 6/6

Current weight 179 Goal weight 175 I have not lost weight in the last 6-8 wks--I am 5 months from surgery and starting to get concerned about this stall. Any good advice to jump start again? I've tried more water, different exercise, eating more, eating less-- it's exhausting worrying about it! I'm not close to my goal at all. I go from 179 to 180 to 178 back to 179 over and over. Bea, I'm so thankful for the challenges -- they are the only thing keeping me from giving up right now!

I'm in... Thanks Bea!

I was 179.8 this morning -- I'm in a serious stall and it is so frustrating. Add me to the July challenge -- I need to keep my motivation up somehow! Happy Memorial Day!

178 this morning... Hope everyone had a great Mother's Day !

178.5...keep on keepin' on!!

Today...179.6

Hi Everyone! This is going to be a great challenge, right? CW 180 Goal 175 I'm going to get this stall moving again --some how some way! Anyone have suggestions that have seemed to work in the past?

Final weight 180. I really hope this is a stall and not the end of my loss. I am almost 4 months post surgery but have another 30 lbs to go. I don't feel like I have changed my eating or anything so I am not giving up. Marching on!!!! Happy Resurrection day!

Happy Sunday!! 179.1 this morning! I am so excited! I'm fighting for every lb now (29 more to go for final goal from DR). I may not make goal this challenge but I fit comfortably in a siZe 14! Have a good week everyone!

This morning I was 180.2 I don't trust it but I weighed two different times. I hope it's true! I guess we'll see during the next week!! Good luck everyone!

183 this morning. Only 1 lb down:( I think my body will start fighting the losses now because I haven't been this weight for 25 years!

Hi everyone! Good luck with this new challenge! Starting weight 184 Goal 175

I'm in!

I'm in!

185.3...I'm happy! Goal was 185...I'll consider that a win! Congrats to all just for sticking with it-- and thanks Bea!
