Wish you luck and best wishes! Keep us updated!

Anjapep23 - I know now being 7 wks post-op that it is not important about the number it is the way you are losing it. I didnt relize it at the time I posted this that everyone feels the same once we have the surgery. I have been overweight for almost 15 years and the surgery has changed the way I eat and the way I now value my health. So not only is it changing the way I look it is also keeping me here on earth a little longer. The weight loss will happen if we are willing to change our old ways. This is why I love this site, we need one another to keep us motivated and keep moving forward, so if the weight loss number is lower one week than the other always remember its still getting lower! ! Hope this helps and keep smiling

I am starting to get a little nervous myself I had surgery on 10/15 of this year and as of today my total weight lost has been 37lbs. I get kinda scared because I go into the Dr. office excited about being below 200 finally and a week and a half later I only lose 3 lbs. Has this been the case for anyone else? Should I be concerned yet?

thanks for the info guys its very encouraging! I am on a 800 cal diet including 40grams of protein (or at least try) I love water but it has to be freezing cold. As far as exercise, its kinda hard with two jobs and a grandbaby at home. I work from 6am - 1030pm and on my feet for the majority of the time, as much as I would like to try to wake up earlier to get at least an hour in of exercise, sleep, is maybe what I need being post-op six weeks today. I'll have to work on that huh?
