Weight Loss, Slowly But Surely

[Domika03 309]

So, as of post-op Day 6, I had managed to lose 15 pds. Yes, I know, that's not bad. Of course, all along I've tried to prepare myself in that the weight would start slowing down once I started eating a little more normal, and walking. I started walking about 2 days ago, and to my surprise (though it shouldn't be), I haven't lost anything in 2 days : ( Yes, I know, I know. I didn't gain it all in 1 week, but I have to admit, it felt good seeing the scale go down & down each day. So, I went ahead & measured myself. Thank goodness, it looks like I lost an inch in my waist, thighs, calves & boobs.

Ok, as long as it keeps going down, I will settle down.

Great job! I've lost 42 pounds in 4.5 months. I've hit a plateau several times. I track everything I eat on myfitnesspal.com, workout 5-6 days a week, and make sure I take my multi and Calcium. It'll pick back up soon! Good luck!

Your doing it the right way!I had my surgery may 9th in april my weight was 369.Today it's 278 before anyone says great job it has taken a toll on my health! Im on potassium and go for blood work tuesday if it's no better i get a stay in the hospital.It's not that i dont want to eat, it's after a half cup i get sick..Dr says it's a mental thing..What i've started to do is eat 6 times a day that gets me up to 800-1000 calories a day.The good thing is my blood pressure has not been this good since my 20's and i feel a whole lot better.While there have been set backs i'd have the surgery again!
