Well I feel like the slow poke of the bunch. Whenever I see other people's numbers, I wonder what I am doing wrong. But don't get me wrong, I am happy with the amount of weight I have lost. It is noticeable and people who haven't seen me in a while do a double take, which is nice. Highest weight: 305 lbs. Weight at first consultation; 294 lbs. Weight on day of surgery: 270 lbs. Current weight: 222 lbs. If you count from my highest weight, its 83 lbs., but I like to count from the date of surgery, which is 48 lbs. My goal weight is just to be under 200 lbs. What about you Ayanna?

Well I TRIED to eat some buffalo wings, but I could only eat two. Very disappointing.

Yes, I am experiencing the same thing. I am also six weeks post-op. And you are right, it doesn't matter what you eat, be it a shake or tuna, I immediately get sleepy when I'm done. If I'm at home, I go lay down and actually take a nap. I noticed that it goes away after about 20 minutes. I found this article that explains it: http://www.boxingscene.com/weight-loss/43557.php

I had to do a 10 day liquid diet before my surgery. I lost 10 lbs during that time. I don't think it is possible to lose 55 lbs. in two weeks. I feel for you. Good luck.
