Went through my closet to get rid of my fat clothes.

SW = 246 lbs (Highest ever 262)
Surgery Date 02/27/14 = 234 lbs
Current Weight = 215 lbs
Down a total of 31 lbs @ 6 weeks post op.
Was in size 18-20 (5' 6 1/2") and now in some 14's-lose 16's! I cannot wait to get below the 200 lb mark! That is my first goal I have set for myself! I actually weighed 215 fully clothed yesterday and my dr office takes off 3 lbs for clothing so they charted me at 212. It's working! Just have to try a little harder on getting in more fluids. I am feeling all of your pain/struggle when it comes to slow bowels. I'm definitely going to try the V8 Splash I saw someone mention. I'm not a fan of Milk of Mag etc I don't care for the whole ex-lax feeling of going uncontrollably and horrible stomach cramps. Good luck to you all! Everyone is doing great!

Having a glass of the v8 diet splash as I type this! Not only have I pooped on in a regular basis since I bought some of this stuff, but it tastes good and is something different than propel and minute maid light lemonade. Yum!

Didn't feel well today. Called the surgeon's office today. Discussed my whole Vitamin situation & the MA said just keep trying different Vitamins until you find one the works. Doesn't matter if it's chewable or Gummy. Any vitamin is better than no vitamin. Also I'm not getting all my Water in so she encouraged me to work on that. That could be the stall issue. I'm lucky to get half in, in a day. Some disgustingly exciting news. Had a great BM today & made me drop (lol) 1 lb. Very tired today.

Down 1.6 lbs this morning for a total of 29.3 lbs since surg date & 38.2 since highest weight. Feel inspired today. Hoping I can keep the momentum going.

Hillshire thinly sliced pastrami w/Sargento thinly sliced cheese. Nice amount of Protein & yummy!

I took two and I'm feeling much better. It is the first time I've taken it since surgery. I think my headache was due to dehydration but if I didn't take something I wouldn't have gotten out of bed today. Focus is Water today.

Anyone step on the scale get an amazing # then get off & back on again and the great # magically disappears.

I actually did buy some clothes. Some smaller and some that I can fit into now. I bought leggings because all my jeans look so stupid and saggy in the wrong places haha i can't even tell u how happy I was to shop in the regular departments! Not plus size any more!!!

Got my March measurements done (finally before the end of the month) I've lost 32.88 inches. It amazes me!

All my dearest friends are smaller than me so part of my motivation was tired of being the the fat friend. They have all been very supportive. I love all of them so much & they are all trying to understand.
Those that I work with that I would have lunch with that want to talk I invite them to the gym with me. Since I can't eat out and I have unlimited guest passes @ my gym they meet me on my my new terms. Two if them have now signed up for the gym! I'm encouraging people I care about to "support me". They are doing me a favor. Lol. (Suckers)
I know some relationships will change but I'm working hard not to loose any of them.
Oh by the way down another 1.2 lbs this morning. Very happy the scale moving down. That is a total loss of 27.7 lbs since surgery.

Down from a size 28 to a 24 on just a little over a month.

Lookin' good!

I'm happy to report that the scale finally moved 1.2 lbs in the last two days in the right direction. So that puts me at a loss of 26.7 lbs since surgery day. YEAH!
Also excited about a bm but I spend a lot of time in the restroom.

I just got home from seeing my surgeon! She was ecstatic about my 20 lb weight loss in 4 weeks! I was afraid she would be disappointed! I let her know about the stall that most of us have had. She said she had no idea that that happened and was happy to hear about all the great support that I am getting from this site! I can now move on to soft/mushy foods and lighter, modified Insanity workouts! I am so happy that I got to this point! I took care of a fresh post op gastric sleeve patient last night, and she was miserable with nausea. I did everything I could for her. It just
makes me so appreciative of how smoothly my surgery and recovery went! I'm hoping that everyone is doing well today! Thanks to everyone for all the insight and support!

4 oz. down is better than nothing.
