Today, I am 9 months post op! I'm down 148 since surgery and 203 from my highest weight! I "only" lost 7 pounds this month, which is less than half of my average, so I'm thinking I am leaving the honeymoon phase. :'( 7 Pounds is still 7 pounds, and my life and health are both really great. So, no complaints here!

3 days post op: Feeling great.

Have an appt with a Bariatric Dietitian and she is coming to the house. Hopefully she can help me out with what I am doing wrong in that I haven't lost anything in 4 weeks and I am only 10 weeks post op.

lost nothing again today 2 weeks now without losing and only 8 week post op in my second stall. Very frustrated.

I just surpassed my ideal weight goal! Flying on cloud 9!

195.4 so happy

I'm in love with the person I've become because I fought to become her

My 3 week stall finally lifted. I stepped on the scale this morning and lost 2 more pounds for a total of 23 pounds since Jan 26th. HURRAY!

I think my 5-week stall may have finally ended... :'D

11 days post op began my stall. Now day 29 I finally lost another pound.

HAPPY VALENTINE"S DAY TO ALL MY BP FRIENDS- Thanks for all your support and encouragement over the last 8 months.

ONEDERLAND!!! Finally!!

Hi everyone. Thursday, Friday and Saturday I was walking because I felt so good on Thursday and Friday. However I think I have been doing too much walking and sewing. Last night as I was working on sewing a curtain for my patio which I hope to me able to get out onto in the next coming weeks my back across the shoulder really started to hurt. Today the lower back shoulder pain has moved to the side breast underarm pit area. Is it possible for that pain to move? It makes me wonderful if the lower back shoulder pain I had was gas pain due to the laparoscopic surgery. If it is when does this gas pain truly leave the body? This new location pain hurts as much as the lower shoulder back pain did. Also how is it possible to gain weight when all I have had is protein soups and shakes? Yesterday when I got on the scale I was up 4 pounds. It makes no sense. Does liquid Tylenol with codeine cause weight gain even when you don't eat anything? Sorry for the venting but today is not a good day. I am frustrating that I may be backsliding not progressing.

My weight starts with a "2" for probably the first time in 15+ years.

I've been stalled for most of this month. But today I stepped on the scale and was pleasantly surprised to see that I'm exactly 100 pounds down since surgery, and 155 down since my highest. I can barely believe it!

Just had surgery Monday and I guess because of all the water I was given through my IV ?? I have gained 6 pounds !!! Everytime they weighed me at the hospital I weighed more.

Managed to make my goal yesterday with my protein, nutrients, fluids and activity....hopefully I can keep it up! It is definitely a challenge, but well worth the effort!
