Congrats, nice work! I'm about 3.5 weeks out and have lost around 40 lbs myself. Most of the weight came off at the beginning during the Protein shake diet, it's been slow losing the last week. I attribute it to the dreaded three week stall I've read about in other posts.

I'm 6-days post op and haven't lost a pound and have gained from IV fluids! I can't wait to see the scale move down! 40 lbs in three and a half weeks is amazing and impressive!

I am two weeks out and have lost 40 lbs. I still get nausea but not sure why. No vomiting which is a good thing. I can start working out this weekend. Looking forward to it.

17 weeks out, and I've lost 68 lbs. An average of 4 lbs a week. Have gone from a size 24 to a size 14/16. For the first time in almost 25 years I'm able to shop in non-plus sized store.

I am now 5 months out from my RNY and my surgeons goal was for me to lose 100 lbs. I have lost 77lbs. I can't believe I only have 23 pounds to go. Started as a size 18 now I am a size 10. My bday is this upcoming week...probably the best bday present ever!!

Hi blackjetta12...

Thanks for your birthday wishes and kind words. For me if I'm being completely honest the hardest thing has been staying regular. I have a lazy bowel so I do take Miralax and Metamucil and try to eat Fiber rich foods. I think the other thing that has been difficult for me is not being afraid to expand the types of food I eat. I had the RNY and my motto is "love the pouch...fear the pouch...respect the pouch" who I named Bob by the way. I always have a soft insulated cooler with Water and food. I pack it differently depending on the day. Everybody is on different eating plans but I have 3 meals and 2 Snacks everyday...glad to answer any questions

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
