One Week Post-Op. What is the verdict???

Today is my 6 week anniversay, and the scale has once again been barely moving over the last 5 days...

One week post op today - baby steps!

20 pounds away from my goal weight! One year Anniv next week! I'm on track and I feel amazing! LISTEN, you will run into weight loss stalls! DOn't get alarmed. The moment you start eating meat again, weight stall. And every so often (more often than not) weight stall. I would go weeks without weight loss. And then all of a sudden I'd drop 3-5 pounds. The weight will come off. Be patient!! But keep in mind, once you start eating meat, exercise will help spee...

I have been trying to find a protein shake that doesn't taste like CHALK...and the 3 I had tried, all RTD liquids did, even after I doctored them up with sugar free caramel syrup and splenda and coffee...wondered how I would ever drink these for weeks on end.

feeling amazing! down 10lbs 1 week post op!

Today is 2 weeks since surgery... 13 lbs down. Feeling much better and mobile.

I cannot complain about losing 35 pounds in seven weeks!

Well yesterday made 1 week since my surgery and I feel great I go to the Dr today and I hope he remove this drain it is annoying more than anything and constantly in my way. I was feeling so weak initially when I came home on June 19th but that has since changed because I decided to try juicin and it has worked wonders there are so many recipes to try but you do have to be sure not to over do it. But it gives me energy as well and nutrients. I could not do those proteins shakes or drinks as t...

Trying to get myself organized...t-minus 3 weeks 'til surgery!

Great way to exercise! I just got cleared (3 weeks) for more exercise. I hate walking ... feels like I'm not accomplishing anything. My husband got one of those big zero turn mowers (we mow 5 acres) and I don't feel ready to be bounced around on that mammoth thing! So, I had him haul out the small push mower and I have been using that! I can mow for an hour and feel like I am accomplishing something! I stop a few times for hydration and each day mow for one hour. I...

Two weeks after the surgery and I went to the gym. I feel great to be back into my routine. I am so glad I did this for myself!

two weeks out and feeling my energy return and pain is also gone

I am 2 weeks out and FINALLY feeling normal.

One week out and still thinking "why the hell did I do this!?!?"

This stall sucks!!! Must get past it!!! Agghhh!!!

Ok, starting to have some anxiety. I feel stupid for asking this but I just need some reassurance. I am post op day # 17 and I have only lost 10 pounds. I don't know if I am on track or if I am failing. I spoke with my surgeon at my 2 week post op and he seemed happy with the way things are going. I have a fair amount of pain on and off still and have not been walking for exercise yet. I just don't know, what do you all think?

Finally I am out of my stalling period! The last stall has been over a week. I suggest staying away from the scale and weighing once a week....if you can
