Calling all July losers!!!! :-) :-) Wanted to reach out and check in to see how everyone is doing. I know several of us are finally coming out of the initial aches and pains of the surgery, so I was interested in any updates you want to share! Losses, victories, stalls, anything...the floor's open!

Ugh!!! I'm at another stupid stall!! I guess every 10 lbs eek happen:/

Angel❤️,

How are YOU doing?

I'd like to know too! =)

@@mamie60 and @@pik - hey!!!! I am doing well! My eating is faaaar from where it should be, so I need to get better with that. I've also lost focus on keeping up with my Vitamins and other supplements. I think I got to a point where I spend so much time thinking about what to eat, when to eat, how much to eat, what pill to take a what time, blah blah blah. I'm due to see my doctor and nutritionist later today for my follow up, and I fully expect to get scolded for my behavior. Mentally, it's been a bit tough because there are so many stressful things that have happened in the last 60 days - it's truly shown me how much of my eating is mental. Luckily, I still can only eat about 1/2-3/4 cup at any one sitting, and I try to keep myself moving so I don't have enough time to think about all the crap going on. I hit my 60 pounds down mark today and am glad about that. I'm sure it could have been more had my eating and intake been better, but I'm happy with where I am. I've also noticed that the faster I lose, the more I look like a melted candle - not cute! LOL Physically - I feel fabulous! Lots of energy and have been doing more walking than I used to - another happy point. So for now, I'm good. Hopeful to when things can settle down and some of the stress ease up :-)

Feel exactly the same way!

You know I am lucky to get in my Multivitamins every day and I am surely not getting the calories, Protein, and liquid that I need. I am having another endoscopy next week some time. Hopefully we can work this all out!!

Pik, I am really worried about you. I was just in the hospital for 4 days because I couldn't eat or drink. And, just before that visit, I was in the hospital. My dr. Takes it very seriously if you can't eat or drink. They gave me I.V. Fluids and vitamins around the clock. Don't let yourself get dehydrated, you could end up in intensive care. Don't hesitate to go to the ER, they can give you fluids if you are dehydrated. Just worried about you. Keep me posted on how you are doing.

Hope you are feeling better soon, keep us updated!!

I have been through all of this before. I was much worse off than I am right now, and it was bad.... =(

Well, I am happy for you that you aren't dehydrated enough to be hospitalized. Hope you get better soon.

I am going to have another endoscopy on Saturday and then another two weeks after that. Thank you!

can I brag for a minute and post our first pictures of us 2 months post op? Quite proud if I might say He's lost about 60 or so and I'm down 48.

Wow! You guys look great

I had surgery July 23. Best thing I have ever done for myself.

High weight 277

It seems so slow to me but am very proud of what I am doing. I walk at least 6 days a week 3 to 5 miles a day. I don't have to much problems with skin, my arms are kinda yuk but I plan on working on this in the winter. I can't wait to be in 100's!
