I went to work yesterday for the first time a boi did they tell the difference but all where supportive no negative I told mostly everyone at my job so I have no problems w gossip and it just makes my job easier they do worry about me how I'm I doing .. That could be cause it was my first day I'm starting to feel like this is the best thing that's happen to me ..it's weird I'm still wearing my old close there too big for me but I don't want to give them up to go to a smaller size I guess when your over weight big clothes makes you feel good

So excited for you!! Yahoo!! That is amazing weight loss in 5 weeks. Can you share what you eat since surgery? I have my surgery on March 11th, sure hope I do as well as you. Congrats!!! Keep up the good job!

Thats some amazing weight loss. I was sleeved 1 days after you and a couple pounds shy of 40lbs in 5 weeks but I am a guy... we lose a lot quicker so I have read. I don't recall a woman losing this much so quick. Thats awesome new... are you exercising a lot?

Congrats!! We were sleeved on the same day, and I am no where near that kind of loss post-op (only about 15lbs)! Great job! So, what exactly are you doing? I'm struggling to get in all my protein...maybe that's my problem.

You must feel like a new person already. Share your secret!

I'm don't have any special thing I do I stop the protein shakes cause they make me so sick so I stop them at two weeks what I do is eat every two to three hours protein mostly meat like tuna , chicken salad , egg , chicken today I ate egg for breakfast , cheese stick for a snack , baked chicken lunch and tuna salad for dinner or maybe left overs from lunch .. No big secret I haven't started exercising but I'm walking more every day cause my job requires me to walk

Congratulations on your weight loss

success I had my surgery on Jan 22nd

I am down 30 pds and feeling great about my loss also. I will be returning to work on next Tuesday. We need to keep in touch because our surgery dates were so close.

good deal on the weight loss.. its not an easy thing nope.. but oh the end result.. I too am reluctant to shed the bigger clothes.. the elastic still holds my scrubs up and my shirts are like a mini dress now.. I guess when the elastic no longer holds them up.. I will get new ones. its taken me since dec 20th to lose 58lbs.. im hoping by may I will be down another 50.. lol or at aleast 30.. my hubby is taking me on a cruise to alaska to get away from work and all the stress of making that 60g of protein.. lol.. but you are doing fabulous.. and keep up the excellen work.. welcome to the losers club

what was your starting weight on surgery day.

I'm 5'8 and my starting weight was at 290 pounds I'm 250 pounds
