I am very happy for all of you that have lost so much weight. I often feel sad thinking that I have only lost 19 pounds since my surgery on January 21st. It has taken me almost 2 months to lose not even a full 20 pounds, a couple years ago I lost 20 pounds in 2 months just by watching what I ate and exercising. Now I exercise my butt off, watch calorie intake, and watch my portions, just to lose the same amount of weight, I don't see what the big difference is. I need some positive feedback from all of you that have struggled or perhaps some pointers. Thanks.

209 down 3lbs. Yay us!

I may have messed up today I ate a sandwich from Panera, a half a sandwich to be exact from Panera, turkey and lettuce and that's it I feel like it is still stuck in my throat all the way down my stomch. I thought I chewed really well but obviously not. Has anyone else have this problem before? Help I am freaking out a little bit.

What does p'bing mean?

Dani-nyc, I think it was ciabatta. I think? It was delicious going down, but dang it was hard to get down. Lol. I think I know what not to eat for a while.

Thanks, I think I got some of it entered.

How do I fill in my profile? Can't find it.

I am a little over 6 weeks (01-21-13) out and thank you guys so much I am already feeling better. I was about to drink water right before I got the mess. Thank you I am sure I would have regretted it. I love having a group of people who have been where I am. No throwing up for me don't want to slip.

I talk to my doctor about this last Thursday when I got a fill and he specifically told me not to drink more than a quarter cup of water every 30 minutes or my patch will stretch. That is scary because everytime I workout I am drinking so much water. At times I feel dehydrated because I am a big water drinker and I can't seem to get enough.

Congrats I had my surgery 1-21-13 and I have lost 16 lbs. since. I am wanting to kick it up a notch. Any good advice on losing more?

Hey there I am also 3 wks. out on mon. and I am in the same boat and I am exercising 3-4 days a week. I lost 11 pounds after one week after my surgery and then only 1 lb. since. I hope this isn't always how it will be.

I am two days out as well and this is such a strange feeling. I'm hungry yet not? My stomach is making so many sounds and I can feel air under my ribs. Ouch!
