Thanks! That just means I was in a lot worse position than your from the start! I'm shocked at how quickly it's come off... but I expect to hit the brakes sometime soon. In my opinion, as long as the trend is downward, I'm happy. You've lost 27 lbs...that's nothing to sneeze at!

[Geeewhy 30]

BTW, happy 1 month surgiversary to all you fellow 9/20'ers!

Happy 1 month Surgiversary!!

[Geeewhy 30]

82 total, starting in May. 23 before the pre-op, 22 on pre-op, 37 post surgery. My secret is really simple... be a man and be really heavy to begin with

[Ter72 3]

......so genuinely happy for you!. Cheers to you for continued success!

[Geeewhy 30]

Thanks! Again though, 30 lbs for you is nothing to sneeze at. I'd wager you're much smaller than me already. I'm getting spoiled, so it will be much harder for me to deal with the slower loss when I get there. See? Y'all have an advantage on me

[Ter72 3]

....I did cheat! I initially had a lap band. It slipped twice, but I did lose weight on it before the slippage.

[Geeewhy 30]

So how much are you down from when you originally got the lap band?

[Ter72 3]

I started at 257 and am now 185.

[Geeewhy 30]

Well no wonder you're losing slow... You're almost home! Congrats to you, Ter!

[panda 14]

Yeah grats Ter! I don't know what my issue is then, I'm no where near to be done and last week i lost 1.8 I work out five days a week too!

I am happy with any kind of loss but it's pretty sucky seeing everyone else with major losses at this point.

[Geeewhy 30]

I'm sure yours will pick up Panda... or even if it doesn't, you're steadily losing. Slow and steady wins the race, right?

[panda 14]

Thanks Geee 1.8 again this week, I really hope slow and steady wins the race!!! How's everyone else doing? I believe 6 weeks post op now, wow it's been that long??

[Geeewhy 30]

6 weeks? Math isn't my strong suit, but I think it's 5 weeks... right? in answer to your question, I'm still struggling with eating real food. Can't get down more than 1 to 1.5 oz's of chicken before I start feel the restriction. I can eat stuff with sauces pretty well, like Chili or spaghetti sauce, but not by itself. Went and played golf last weekend and had a bad episode... Ate too little and my blood sugar was bothering me, so I got a hot dog and ate it without the bun. I got it all down, but I think I got it down too quick. Was absolutely miserable for about 20 minutes. Was nauseous, broke out in a cold sweat and thought I was dying. Lesson learned! How's everyone else doing?

[panda 14]

obviously math isn't mine either lol yeah it's 5. sorry about your golfing episode! I had one of those yesterday with a cowpal. I had company over so I wasn't paying attention to eating slow as I do alone. chicken is kinda rough for me too, i is ketchup to make it easier, extra cals, but i need that chunk of pure Protein ya know. Hope it gets easier, are you roasting the chicken like in a casserole with broth and everything, the juicer the chicken the easier i can get it down.
