Exercise. Exercise. Exercise. Helps me refocus.

Switching to a full face mask did the trick for me. Resmed Mirage Quattro. The Cadillac of masks. Pricey but you get what you pay for. Can sleep in every possible position in bed. Love it. In my opinion the finest mask out there. If you can't tolerate a nasal mask, this might be your answer. Was for me.

Congrats Lou. My numbers are similar to yours. Heaviest at 343 pounds - April 6, 2015. Sleeved June 30. Working hard and am now down to 274. Hope to get where you are. Thanks for the inspiration! You look good and healthy friend.

20 pounds down 4 weeks out is nothing to be discouraged about! Jmo.

I felt your feelings also. Didn't tell anyone. I'm 40 pounds down since June. That's a bag of rock salt. (For those who live in that part of the country). The biggest benefit: food doesn't control me anymore. I control it. You have the power!

I am just a little over 4 weeks out (surgery June 8, 2015) and only weighed myself when I got home from the hospital and had gained so much Fluid from surgery(7 lbs) thst I made the decision to only weigh myself monthly so when I weighed myself at 4 weeks I was pleasantly surprised I had lost 20 lbs! I don't want to get discouraged by stalls, etc, so I'm concentrating on how my clothes fit and how good I feel instead. It's really a freeing feeling to not be so tied to the scale!!!!
Good luck!!

Had surgery on june 30th also. My surgeon told me that most won't get 64 in but to just sip every 10 minutes while awake and you will do well. So far so great!
