Hit 50# today from April 30th. Feeling great!!

Sent from my iPad using VST

Went to a baseball game last night. I'm 9 weeks out and had my first ballpark hot dog ( no bun) ;) and handful of peanuts! It felt good to feel normal again and not have to take my protein shakes to the game. Thus far down 67 lbs,no issues.

Side note; this delicacy will not be a regular part of my diet but we do have to enjoy the pleasures of life in measured proportions.

Currently now exercising 30-60 min six days a week. Taking in around 1000 cals/ 80+ grams protein a day. No carb counting. Losing approx. 3 lbs a week.

On my 7th week...down almost 36lbs and feel GREAT even with intermittent awful reflux.

Sent from my iPad: Sleeved 4/24/2013 by Dr. Farrell @ UNC Hospital---Started: 239lbs--Goal: 150lbs--Current: 203.5 lbs

I was sleeved 04/30/2013. Down 35 pounds as of 06/12/2013.

Having an issue! Mine was 4/17. I'm down 42 however, I'm slipping into my old ways. I ate a candy bar and I just prayed that it would make me sick. But it didn't..... it was yummy. And now I'm scared that I will eat one every day. My protein is low due to protein shakes make me throw up. Of course the good for you stuff I can't handle but any thing that is bad my tummy can handle. I'm loosing hope at the moment. I know what I need to do but afraid the little devil on my shoulder is going to win. That tricky little f***er! I do use my fitness pal but I only have 1 friend on there and it's my mother in law! And she loves to feed people. God help me.. I'm a mess.

I was sleeved on the 22nd of April and have lost 21 pounds. I'm having trouble with my large incision. It continues to break open spilling blood and infection. So I can't walk on my treadmill yet. My surgeon had to reopen it and clean it out today. No shower for 3 days and no walking for 3 weeks. Hell with no meds!

I am 3 wks out and have 2 open draining wounds about 2 inches deep that i have to pack twice a day with guage. Its super frusterating cuz i cant do any exercise or move my upper body much so i know how you feel.

I'm on my fitness pal...how do you get friends?

Surgery 4/12, 245 lbs

Today, 213 lbs

32 lbs in 8 weeks

I'm very happy with my progress but every once in a while I find myself munching on Doritos or some other junk food. The good news it's not half the bag like it used to be, just a serving! So I log it into MFP and move on.

April 29th down 19.4 since 3 days before surgery (7 weeks today). Sooo I'm a normal to slow loser.... About 2 1/2 or so pounds a week overall. Little frustrated, I keep doing the lose, gain, platau, gain, lose dance. Oh well I know it, its just driving me crazy.

Just looked at my own ticker and realised I've lost 20% of my excess weight in 7 weeks! WOW its amazing how perspective enters into all this....

We're in the same boat , but hang in there bc we ARE going to lose and achieve our goal. :)

Surgery was 4/23. The day of surgery I was 219 and I'm now 195 for a total of 24 pounds in 7 weeks, 3 days.
