I can't believe we're finally on the losers bench! Congrats to everyone on this side of the journey. Keep us updated with your progress.

Our April first peeps are Deana Wright, MissMeagan and Nella. Ladies, tell us everything!

I add fat free mayo and mix it with a spoon

I just found out to add low fat Greek yogurt to my tuna! It tastes the same and gives you more protein!!

I'm two and a half weeks out and had lost almost 15 lbs. I weighed myself this morning and found that I've *gained* a pound. Has this happened to anybody else yet? I'm staying within my portion sizes and still on the stage 3 soft protein diet.

Yes! I am 3 weeks and 4 days and I have stalked for the last week. Everyone tells me it's the dreaded 3-4 week stall. My support group said to watch what your doing and limit carbs and do exercise and you will start loosing again. I'm hoping their correct.

That Tuna sounds Great.

They are I hate those stupid stalls but you will have them and before you know it the scale will move again

I'm hoping tomorrow!! Lol it's been a week so I'm ready to get on with this!

How's everyone's weight loss by going I'm 6 days away from my 2 months and down 42lbs was hoping I'd be down 50lbs but I don't think 8lbs in 6 days is gonna happen lol

My surgery was 4/29/13, and I am only down 18 lbs. The scale is just not moving. Went to bariatric support meeting tonight. Talked to nutritionist a bit. She said I am doing everything right, and to hang in there, the weight will eventually come off. She said because I had 5 surgeries that day of my RNY, I may still be healing. She also said by 8 weeks most patients typically lose 30-40 lbs. Well, I am 6.5 weeks out and still at 18 lbs. I feel discouraged but am trying to have a positive attitude.

Five surgeries at the same time? What all did you do? Be proud of yourself it will happen.

Well, I went in for RNY, but ended up with a hiatal hernia repair, umbilical hernia repair, gallbladder removal, and bowel resection (in addition to RNY). Whew!

Thanks for your kind words

Today is 10 weeks from my surgery date on April 2nd. Just got on the scale before my shower and I have lost 50 lbs. Yay! That makes me happy!!

That's great! Hope I'm there in 10 wks or at least close.

Of course!! I love this group. I feel like I have so much in common with everyone. Usually someone can relate and everyone is always supportive!

I can tell that everyone is supportive. I love it!

My hubby used to be stationed in Alabama so I know what you mean! But my best friend just got stationed in Fort Greely Alaska. She sent me a picture of her thermometer this winter.... -51!! I don't know know if it's worth it lol.
