Steph, so what is normal food day like? Do you get hungry? I do but it doesn't take much to fill me up.

Kathy, thank so much. It's a bit scary not to lose weight faster after having such a drastic surgery. I'm going to see my nutritionist on Thursday and see if im doing something wrong. Its funny, when I feel like ive eaten too much in a day, say 1000, calories, that's when I seem to lose. I hear most folks here saying they struggle to eat 600 calories. I dont understand it. How many calories are you eating a day?

Awesome Susan. We are on our way :-)

I started back at the gym yesterday and have a personal trainer for at least nine training sessions. Hopefully this will get the loss moving more consistently. Wish me luck. Thanks for all the support everyone.

Yeah, 27lbs is a lot of extra weight to carry around. I was at the grocery store yesterday and the bagger said to me " you've lost a lot of weight". Its so funny because the folks at work haven't said a thing.

Agent, that progress is wonderful. I know you are feeling much better. This surgery has been wonderful foe be too. Im 8 weeks out and have only lost about 27 pounds but was able to stop taking blood pressure medicine two weeks after surgery. I also took metformin for the last 13 years too. Im mefs free so im very happy even though the weight isnt moving as quickly as I would like.

Kathy, I had a taste of most things on thanksgiving as well

Thank you, awesome.

Nikky, you look great! I can tell you feel great too. I will have to figure out the weight in pounds, lol.

Susan, I had a stitch come to the surface at my 2 wk appt. But they clipped it and it heald fine. There was a little irritation for a couple days. Try not to let your clothes rub it too much.

Ladybug, I think I retain fluid too but haven't been on any meds for it. So I guess you lost a couple pounds after MOM :-)

Sll of those shakes look good

@@ladybug, have you had your 4 wk check up yet? Try Phillips milk of magnesia for the constipation. You may be in a stall already. You did lose almost 30 pounds, your body has to adjust. I know how you feel, ive lost about 24 pounds and im 7 wks out tomorrow. Hang in there :-)

Vsglady, have you tried the aloe vera juice?

Rmspenser, That menu sounds awesome :-)

Twoterville, I love that!

It seems like its taking forever. I totally expected to lose much faster than I have. Im trying to b realistic and have patience but its hard.

The site totally confuses me :-)

I can not wait to make it to onederland, its been so long ago. Is anybody with me?

:-)

@@papi, thank you but isnt my head cut off? Lol.

I like the jack links jerky now. I hated jerky before surgery, lol. Im working on the profile pic. Ir looks fine on the site, what can I say :-)

After taking miralax for4 days straight, I dont seem to need it anymore. I will see what happens. I have been eating some soups with kale in it :-)

I had constipation and was told to use miralax too. It took 3 days to work. I took it four 4 days and I seem fine for now.
