Thought I would start a April buddy board.

My surgery is set for April 21st.

Hight-- 5'5"

Highest weight - 373

Today 362 still need to lose a few more.

Lets all post our stats & check in before & after surgery.

Almost time to get this new journey started!

Good luck!!!!!

Surgery 4/22/15, lost 33 lbs so far.

1/3 of my desired weight loss. It's starting to own down a bit. Hopefully this stall will end so I can now start the typical weight loss pattern.

Looks like we are on the same track.

:-)

I was hoping for more but hopefully when I start working out it will go faster.

I'm half way through my 5 th week and finally hit my stall. I'm not complaining, I was waiting for it. However I'm still not getting my protein in, I'm really trying, but the most I can eat is 2 to 3 bites and I'm full. Is anyone else experiencing this?

It depends on what I'm eating. If I make it something moist & take baby bits I can eat more.

@@MichelleTN, I am a bit disappointed that I am only averaging 5lbs per week, but am thrilled to be losing 5lbs a week at the same time. I feel as though I have gone through and am going through too much to have made this surgery worthwhile at this point. I am 34 days post-op and have not felt well one single day. I wake up each morning hoping to feel well and to feel this major life change was worth it. It isn't today, but maybe tomorrow. Until then, I am at least down 5 lbs a week!

Finally broke a stall I was in. Got up this morning & down 3 more lbs. Starting the gym next week, hopefully that helps.

Hope everyone is doing ok.

Hooraaaaaay!! We are on the same track. I too broke my stall today. Down 2.8 lbs this morning. Congrats.

First gym day today. 11 mins on treadmill, 2 miles on bike & then the eliptical kicked my butt. I lasted 3 mins. Lol

Exciting. Great job.

Had my 6 week checkup. Never thought I'd hear a Dr. or anyone say I needed to add more calories to my day. :-)

@@MichelleTN how much have u lost if you don't mind me asking

I was sleeved on 4/27 and have felt great other than being tired. I get most of the recommended protein...the liquids are harder for me. My pre-surgery weight was 211 and today 185. I was stalled for the last week and a half but went down ounces the past two days. Happy with the 26lb loss so far. Just wishing I had more energy!
