my friends daughter was sitting in the waiting room before her dr's appointment and saw me walk by... told her i had a sassy little walk now and that the man sitting near her made a comment to the person he was sitting with "wow!" she must have a date later!"

i agree! do not look at speed and do not compare yourself to anyone else -- everyone is different. i started at 223 for pre op diet, on 6/13/14 i was 217 going into surgery. 5 months out i am at 157 -- thats a total of 66 lbs lost. i lose and avg of 1.5-2 lbs a week now and while that is not what i would consider a rapid…

in theory i suppose it is "possible" BUT the only way the average person could ever stick to this diet is with the restriction from the surgery and the loss of the grehlin hormone... i am 4 1/2 months out and i promise i could not in any way possible eat 600 calories a day without the aid of the surgery. durring the…

at this point it is best to stick with cream soups, yogurt, shakes, and your pureed stuff. if your dr says its ok to move to soft solids you can add egg, refried beans, flakey fish, oatmeal, things that are very easily mashed with a fork. remember to take tiny bites eat slow and chew chew chew or your will be in pain...…

I don't think what I am dealing with is insomnia.... but i cant go to sleep before 11:30 or later and I am up by 6. I only get about 6 1/2 hours of sleep a night but do fine with it. prior to surgery all i seemed to do was sleep. i still may take a nap on a quiet sunday but i used to sleep the entire weekend away. Dont get…

I am 7 weeks out so still in the losing phase. I want to lose another 8 lbs by labor day, and step up my exercise routine. cw 187 gw 179 cant wait to see how everyone does!

looking at percentage is definitly a better way when comparing to others! you are so right... we are all at different places and started out at different places. wheyou factor in height, age, health, etc... "pounds of loss" can be deceiving and isnt a fair comparison.
-
yep! normal ... lol sucks but its normal...nothing like messing with our heads right out of the gate. lol its from the fluids and maybe even the gas. and a stall 2-3 weeks out is normal too... actually you should expect it. your body will freak out with al the weight you will drop right away and will try to hold on to fat…

i had surgery on june 13th. at my 1 week post op he told me to start walking 30 mins a day ( so i go to a gym and use the treadmill so i can track better) i am not supposed to do abs or weights/machines until 4 weeks. oh i also use the pool at the gym for resistance and laps.
