I just had the traditional bypass on 10-30-12. I am a 41 year old African American male from the Philadelphia area. The first three days since the surgery have been filled with adjustments and discomfort but I am still excited about the whole process. I'm on my way home. I'm sipping away. I started this journey over a year ago. I can't believe I followed through! Are there any other 10-30-12 folks out there?

On week 3' date=' down 28lbs!!! <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />. This week I was able to have half a scrambled egg, low sugar oatmeal, and tuna with mayo. Everything seems to be going well. How's everyone doing?[/quote']

Hey...Joe...how bout an update? I'm down 40 from 10-30-12. Should be more once I kick the exercise up a notch.

Pooh your doing great. My surgery was also on 10/30. I don't think I'm doing as good as you but I haven't been on a scale in a while. Trying to hold out til next Dr appointment. How is your eating going? Congrats again on your loss.

Welcome and good luck

Merry Christmas. I'm making steady progress. I need to focus on exercise more but overall I'm not doing too bad. 345 start...currently 296. I'll take it. Hopefully I'll hit the 50lbs mark today.

Hey Pooh! Almost at 2 month mark , down 46 pounds. Getting nervous though, the weight loss is really slowing down .

Same here...

Down 51lbs

I have to work on my exercise regiment.

I highly recommend the MyFitnessPal app.. It's about as easy as journaling can get. Been using it for 30days. Came across it on under thread on this app.
