My before pic is from last April at 306. Day of surgery I was 336... My highest ever. The after picture is 4 1/2 months later. On the scale in at a stall, but I've lost another 15". I'm thrilled with my success. Down to 249 and 55"+ lost!!

Absolutely amazing! Good job!

I have not had any issues with gas pain since week 2. I am three months out now. I told my doctor how I blended to make it palatable and he said it sounded delicious, lol I first had a Protein Shake (or whatever they call it) at Starbucks and it was weird but okay tasting and i, thought, I can improve on that! And I did...best thing I ever "figured out" because I can't stand that powder! Try it on a weekend! That way, if you do get gas, shhh, no, one will know!!!????

I'm telling you guy (gals ) if you liked McDonald's mocca frappes, try my mixture. Adjust as needed. I use milk and sweetener in my coffee so that's what I use in my mixture. I actually look forward to them. And if you make it thicker, bam! Wendy's frosty!! My very thin friend loves them!! She always has one when she comes over. She's trying to gain weight but doesn't eat properly. I figure it will help her out too. XOXOXO to all of you!!

Skc72,I did it the same way. If I had to do the pre-op 6-9 months, I wouldn't have cleared. I've lost 68lbs and my 3 month anniversary is Jan 27th. You'll do great. Just do what you're instructed and take it day by day. It's a lifestyle change you'll be so excited about! I've never felt better, physically, mentally or emotionally. It was so hard, is so hard, but sooooo worth it!!

Laurarogersclark, I don't know how I lost so fast. My surgeon said its almost scandalous. But I haven't lost any in 10days so I'm definitely at a stall. I also was very sick prior. On steroids on and off for a year, pneumonia that turned into laryngitis that had me down for 5 months until my first surgery this year which was a sinus surgery. Then down again for recovery after that. It was a hellatious year for me. My body maybe just went wtf?!? Don't judge your weight loss to others. I was also 336lbs when I had surgery. The bigger you are the faster you lose. Just trust the process and your instincts. Do what your doctor says and you'll do fantastic we all will!! I also can't stomach much solid food right now. I eat mostly chicken Soup, yogurt, cottage cheese and fudge pops! Lol oh and frozen yogurt pops...yum. So maybe not eating much solid food...I don't know. And oh yeah, left aide pain where the rny is...still hurts... at times, a lot.

I got legging type stuff at Walmart cheap and works great. In only two months or so no sagging even at 60 lbs lost, which is exciting for me

He seems surprised (and annoyed) that I'm in pain. He's really quite the ass now that he's been paid, out of pocket I might add. I'm going to see him today with my 6'2 scary looking hubby lol and if he speaks out of turn once... He will be politely and scarily told to watch his tone. I do not respond well to the pain meds he normally used so they gave me morphine in the hospital which helped. He also doesn't believe in sedatives, which after my third anxiety attack in the hospital, he gave in to 1mg ativan. Because of him, I made the recovery team miserable lol! I was balling and moaning til 2am! I'm no slacker and I've done everything I was told to do, and I'm not a wuss when it comes to pain, but this is through the roof. Thanks for listening and thanks for your opinion.
