Hi! I'm 54, and am 9 weeks out. I've lost 48 lbs and feel amazing. I have 52 pounds to goal. I just started exercising seriously this week, and am feeling amazing! I'd love to chat with you and get support!

P.S. I should also say I had the bypass when I discovered I was 100 pounds overweight and was overwhelmed at the thought of losing that much weight. I'm 5'10", so people kept telling me that I didn't look that overweight. But I have high blood pressure, sleep apnea and anemia. I knew I wanted to be healthy. So here I am and couldn't be happier!

I am 57 and 9 months post op. I have lost 110 pounds since this whole journey started and am about 5 pounds from my goal. I have never liked the ready made Protein Drinks but make my own, using recipes from the Bariatric Foodie Cookbook.

I'd love to join in! I'm 58. For the moment :-) My birthday is at the end of the month. I am 4 days post op and am feeling surprisingly good! No weight loss yet. I have my first post-op appointment on the 17th. My PA thinks I'll be out of the morbidly obese category by then. I'm not holding my breath! Maybe by my 2nd appointment on the 24th:-)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
