Today I officially hit 60 pounds gone. My highest weight was 291 before surgery and today was 231. Still making progress, slowly with about 1/2 pound per day.

Dr said down 32 lbs since surgery on 11/26 and he is happy. That is somewhere in the 30% excess gone range :) New issue is BRUISING. I look like I have been beaten up. Dr says it is because I am losing the padding. One word...OWWWW!

Me too!!!! Bruising!!! I woke up with bruises on my boobs and was like "huh, I haven't done anything that would bruise there" cos... ya know... sometimes you do things that can bruise there ;). but I havent since surgery so I was confused. Makes sense though, lack of padding

I've noticed it kinda hurts when hubby hugs me. Less padding on my ribs. It's weird I've only lost about 32 pounds. Certainly a long way to go.

I know this feeling worm my daughter put her shoe on my leg for me to tie her laces and it felt like it gave me an instant bruise. Lately it seems I can't stand any pressure on my legs arms or ribs. I'm hoping that's a good sign. I will finally see my dr this Friday and will weigh in to see if I have lost any more this last three weeks.

Hi all! How ya doin? I'm ok. I just noticed last night how much I eat with my hands now. I pick everything apart esp meat. Hoping to get more exercise in this week instead of snacking. I have a work trip this week so food will be hard. Thank goodness for Protein Bars.< /p>

I bet being away from home would make meals a little tricky...lots of planning...I'm sure you'll do fine :) ...I'm doing ok...weight is coming off slow but steady...

I am very careful and look for low carb/ low sugar. I do pure Protein, NuGo Slim, Think Thin and Premier Protein. I know some people here do Quest but I have a hard time finding them. (I am sick of paying shipping for food.) I don't eat them all the time but I struggle with premixed Protein drinks so I use these for a quick snack at work or in the car. I usually break them in halves or thirds and put the rest in a baggie.
