My scale broke, so now I am not constantly looking and checking my weight.

HW: 285 Start Weight: 277 Sugery Weight:269 CW: 253.5 Sleeve Loss: 23.5

ok, now Im on a STRICT 4 ensure drinks per day and water until surgery. all because i had the "last meal" thing they say u can have and gained 5 pounds! I had minimal weight loss due to my body being stubborn so they werent really impressed. OOPS ......its been 3 days and i feel AWFUL. dizzy, weak, confused....all to shrink my liver enough for surgery in 2 days...can i possibly shrink my liver enough in only 8 days?

Hello I'm Jenipher wife and mother I had VSG surgery on October 8, 2012 with Dr. Nguyen in Manteca, Ca. I am doing well and taking it one day at a time. Losing weight has been consistent since my surgery date seemingly no matter what I eat. A rule of thumb you will feel exactly how you eat. You want to feel good eat good that means whatever is in your food phase. You want to feel bad eat things that are not in your food phase you will feel rotten. If I can help you in your journey please...

Reading "Eat It Up!: The Complete Mind/Body/Spirit Guide to a Full Life After Weight Loss Surgery" by Connie Stapleton. It's awesome!

well im back to my weight i was 2 weeks ago. the 10lbs i picked up are gone. was .com lil worry cause i did eat good that weekend. but im back...lets keep the party going.....

Surgery 1/8/13 Pre-Surgical Weight 238 lbs. 1/13/13 225 lbs. On a full liquid diet and walking 30 minutes on the treadmill (3.1 mph) each day since post op day 5.

Interesting how I eat so little and yet gain a few lbs.....Very frustrating.......

lowering my goal weight.

Havnt been on this site in a while, im doing very well with my weight loss, excited to see where this year takes me in this journey

4.5 months post-op: down 62 lbs from top weight and enjoying shopping again. Energy came back around the 3 month mark, but I do seem to be losing hair at a good clip.

oh no i gained 1 pound !! over these holidays i did over do it but i will get back on track!!

Still at home on IV antibiotics and a feeding tube, trying not to lose more weight. I eat during the day, feeding tube at night. Switching to only my protein drinks but oh the bowels rumbled at me last night/this morning with the last change. Hoping for a medically free problematic 2013!

I keep gaining and losing the same 4lbs. That sucks. . . .

Weight loss is so slow these days. I am doing crossfit in addition to running and zumba.

First day back to work. It wasnt that bad but I loved being home. It was nice to hear everyone say I looked great and that I lost weight in my face. Ill take it.

Today is my one month surgiversary. I am very disappointed as I have only lost 12lbs. my scale has fluctuated between 202 and 204 since 8 Dec. though my starting weight was 216, I certainly expected to be under 200 in one month....

Soooo...I spent yesterday trying to get back on track with my food, and thought I was starving to death-- today rewarded with a one pound gain. :/

OFFICIALLY down 53 pounds!!! only 9 pounds away from my pre pregnancy weight!!!

congrats on your wonderful weight loss - yippee!!!!

Holy cow... the scale said 142.5 this morning. That's 2.5 from goal and 7.5 lbs from the last goal I have for weight loss. I cannot believe THIS is ME..... (thank you Jesus!). It CAN happen. Wow. xx

Worried... want this durn leak to heal, but am struggling lately with protein intake. What a conunudrum! So I'm going to focus on this... 110 lbs in 7.5 months=14.67 lbs a month average in weight loss. If I can do that, I can do this diet for a while if need be. But still gonna pray, always... thank you Jesus. Amen. xx\

Somebody help me please!!!! I am waiting for my date and am having second thoughts. I Just don't know if I am doing the right thing. I want to get rid of the weight and need for someone to tell me I will be okay. (Yep I am a wuss, but it is what it is!)

11 months post-op! Still at goal weight now for 2+ months :-)

nsv today....got on a treadmill and for the first time, had to set the weight lower than the programmed 150 pounds!!!!
