4.5 months out, 60lbs down from the start of program, swiming 2 to 3 miles a week! Yahoo!!

can't believe it's been 6 weeks already and I have to go to work on Monday!!! Headed out to get food/snacks for my classroom!!!

One weeks out, off meds, 16 lbs lighter, blood pressure:120/71..,

i leave for vegas in 3 days!!!! whoooo hooooo

Even though I was mentally prepared for this stall, it doesn't make handling it any easier Keeping the faith that it will break

2 months post-op 3/20/12 : 230lbs-size 16/18 * 48lbs down!

Playing the waiting game with insurance company. Hoping for a April date!<3

I start the pre-op diet on April 1. I'm excited yet a part of me is sad to say goodbye to my favorite indulges (sweet treats). I have gained 3 lbs. Sigh. Gotta get back on track!

One week tomorrow and 15lbs down!!

Made it to the gym today, walked three miles...slowly. It is a beginning. I have been in a stall for a few weeks but feel good. Would like to move forward but I will need to learn to eat more protein and very little carbs. I need to stay away from anything too sweet because it yells my name when I remind myself how much I love sweets. Five weeks out and getting energy back, lost a size or so. Sometimes I feel like I am not going to lose weight any more, I guess it is just my brain wondering...

I think I'm lactose intolerant now. I have 3 different proteins and they are all whey based. What to do now?

Felt hungry for the first time today, but it was only once @ 11 AM. I drank a warm peppermint tea with milk and I was full for 3 hrs! LOL!

It's so amazing to sit back and watch how we react to stalls in our journey and to become so addicted to everyone here! It's such a beautiful day.....

Week 13 of my vertical sleeve post-opt. I now weight 269.2lbs that is 68lbs lost and 33 inch off my entire body. Only 109lbs to get to goal YEAH!!!!!!!!

24 years ago this month , I went on a blind date and met the greatest man I have ever known,, (besides my dad of coarse rip). Almost didnt show up for that date... God works things out the way it should be. Thanks for a wonderful 24 yrs Scott and for being the greatest dad to our precious 3 children. U have been so good to all of us!! love u more than u will EVER realize!!

Lost 57 lbs. so far! 6 weeks out of surgery!

Just curious how many calories we should be taking in the second week of surgery or should we just be worried about protein count?

First Day of 2 Week liquid diet - any words of encouragement?

Holy cow ! I'm TIRED. just got off after 14 hours, but atleast now I'm off for a week... Other than those pesky 8 hrs I have to work on Bmt on Friday ;(.

Woke up this morning in a good mood. My protein shake taste better today. Day 3 is much better than Day 2...

Mmm'kay!! I'm not sure if everyone here knows this but I've recently been tested quite a bit. Things have been slowly but surely calming down in my life, and GOD willing the trend will continue. :-) I'm feeling really good physically AND emotionally - and I'm ready to get my mind back in the game. This coming week I will get back on track with excellent eating and getting all my workouts in. Next week starts... INSANITY!!! WHOOTT!!!...

I completely understand your frustration. I am almost 6 mos post op, I've lost 67lbs so far. The last six to seven weeks I have not been able to lose anything. I keep telling myself that its my system trying to play catch up, but I do worry sometimes that this is it.

Finally after two weeks of not losing and going up 3 pounds, and staying there for 1 weeks my freaking scale went down four pounds so yay!!! plus officially size 14.. hope not to long cant wait to be a 12 again!
