Surgery Date - 10/2/12

How are you feeling? Have you lost any weight?

I had my 6 month check up today. All is well. I am a little low in the iron department but was told to double up on the iron and get blood work done in 3 months. I only have 22 pounds to go until goal and my doctor was very happy. I'm so happy! I weigh 152.

Awesome!!!!

That is Awesome Cookier,

What foods do you typically eat and stay away from?

Hi surgery buddies! How is everyone doing?

Doing well! Weight loss has definitely slowed, but that is all my fault for reintroducing certain things I shouldn't. Down 93 pounds, 6 pounds away from making the higher part of my ideal weight range. Would like to lose 20 though, just to make sure I am still in this range if I gain a few later after pregnancy. How have you been doing?

Hi surgery buddies! How is everyone doing?

I am doing great! I have list 93 lbs and have 44 more to go. I am still struggling with getting my water in. I am doing crystal light and decaf drinks and still no where near goal of 70oz.

I am on another stall. I think it is bathroom issues. For the past 2-3 days I feel so bloated and gassy and cramping. Just took some dulculax and miralax so hopefully it helps!!

ME TOO!!!

Its helping so far!! Lol hopefully the scale will show it in the morning

Ok most of us have hit our six month post op. How is everyone doing? Have you tried any new foods? How is your energy? Are you happy with what you have accomplished?

I unfortunately can eat most anything. Thing I haven't tried and refuse to try is ice cream. I've heard to many horror dumping stories!! I just started 2 weeks ago to add fruit. Cuties hurt my stomach but apples seem ok for now. Yesterday I finally got to onderland for a total loss of 88 pounds. Will be 6 months on the 29th

I to can eat anything. Including ice cream. But I only have no sugar added and only a couple of bites. I am kind of glad that I can tolerate anything. It teaches me that I have to cut down and limit, which I do. Granted I have started to snack at night again but I try to keep it at cheese or some sort of meat. Not the junk I used to eat. I am down 84lbs. I need to work more on getting more tone. I walk but I think I need more. What do you all do for exercise?

Hey clairpooh, yes i see we have same goal too, how tall r u? I am 5'7.... I feel like the scale just stopped moving lol..... I guess i just have to give it time

Hey Mizzlaw,

I see we have the same goal.... We are soooo close!

Keep up the amazing work!

I had surgery 10/3, i am losing weight but feel low on energy (even tho i go to gym every other day), my 6 month post op blood work revealed that my B1 is very low so I'm hoping after i get a shot i will have more energy

Had my six month appointment yesterday. Down 121 lbs, a total of 58% of my excess weight! For the first time ever, I was told I had to eat more!!!

Has anyone tried drinking yet? I'm celebrating my 30th birthday this weekend and would like to have a sip or two. What works? What are some good choices? Am I the only one crazy enough to try this? Feedback is appreciated!
