great poll. I am trying to figure out the balance of what I need to eat now to maintain and not lose anymore. Its such a weird feeling to not try and lose anymore. To some 154 lbs is still alot... but I am almost 5'8" and wearing a size 8 and med shirts and that is small enough for me. I dont want to look sickly and I feel better than I have in years. Thanks so much for this sight Alex... I dont know what I would have done without the support I have gotten on here!!!!

I'm 40 lbs from my goal weight and starting back at the bringing. New work outs back to basics. I am back to 2 oz of food every 3 hours and Water and Protein shakes. I kinda went AWOL with Protein drinks. So back to basics for sure!

Do what works!

Just had my band removed last Thursday and had staples removed today. Spoke with the surgeon, going for the bypass, the gold standard, plus the fact of the research regarding type II diabetes. It would be great just to get off insulin.

Had my surgery 2/21/2013. Did not do well pre op. Actually hit my high weight right before surgery at 356. I am proud to say I hit 256 yesterday. 100 lbs in 14 weeks. Now to lose the other 100 lbs.

Wow! Congrats on 100!

I am four days post op. Weight day of surgery was 220lbs, weight after was 233lbs. Today I weigh 229lbs. The extra weight was from all the fluids they gave me during and after surgery. I am dealing with gas issues right now - not painfull, just loud. Post op pain is minimal.

I am 3 days post op and haven't weighed myself yet as our scale doesn't go high enough. When doctor weighed me I was 377. I'm doing well so far after surgery. Just taking it easy and trying to heal. Doing ok with Protein intake and walking around better.
