27lbs in a month is nothing to sneeze at , and the joy of getting into clothes that didnt fit before is remarkable!!!! I have pants that were so snug (OK Tight) that are literally slacks now ! Pretty soon I will be going to the Goodwill to get some inbewteen clothes. Yeahhhhh!!!!!!

So hold your head up high, you are doing something positive for you !!!!!!! Much success and good health to you !

I think that you're doing FANTASTICLY well.

I'm in to my 4th week post surgery. Down 17,5 pounds so far. I'm type 1 diabetic on the insulin pump. Because I'm type 1, pump and the diabetes will stay with me for ever.

Constipation, yes... It' a sensitive point for me, too. I find that amounts of liquids I'm drinking are directly related. The better I'm with my intake the smaller this problem becomes. Eating lots of fruits- smoothies, helps, too.

How are your levels of energy? Mine are very low. I feel soooo.. tired all the time.

My energy levels are low too. i think it is related to our bodies running on SOOO fewer calories...or at least part of it. they are gradually picking back up, especially with more exercise...go figure. I still have a hard time getting and staying hydrated but getting better all the time. My scale tells me percent hydration and I get just as excited with increases here as I do decreases in weight...lol. Thanks for the encouragement and the tips and good luck to you!
