I hit my first stall. Trying not to let it get to me! I am so scared this is it. I guess I am still in the diet mindset. I have never reached a goal in any of my other attempts so I worry this will be the same.

Anyone have a stall yet and how long was it?

Hey August surgery group!

I've been a little mia for a while and I've really missed reading everyone's updates. I had a really bad complication about a month ago and ended up in the hospital. A while ago I had posted that I had got sick a couple times, dry heaving; nausea and shaking. For almost two weeks I couldn't keep food or even Water down. I was taken to the ER and had a cat scan with barium and contrast (yuck and contrast made me throw up!) Turns out the opening of my pouch was closing up. I had two endoscopes done, multiple IV's before the doctor ordered a "pick line" which is an IV/place to draw blood/feeding tube that at is surgically implanted in your arm! The doc said that the opening of my pouch was closing up and it had closed up so much that you couldn't put the point of a pen cap through the opening!! After spending a week in the hospital I had gone through several bags of IV fuild, eight bags of potassium and three huge bags of something that was called nourishment (made up of Vitamins, minerals and other stuff). For awhile I was so scared to eat or drink for fear that I would get sick and be in that horriable pain again... Well almost a month later I am able to eat and drink with no problems! So to my fellow August Surgery mates I'll be posting and reading! Yea!! :-)

I just figured out the changes that happened in the old rnytalk, so here I am!

I'm 15 weeks out from surgery today and feeling great! My weight loss has definitely slowed, but I bought a treadmill and weight system last weekend which is helping me kick it up a notch. It is so awesome to be able to work out without feeling like I'm going to die any minute.!

I'm attaching a progress pic. Middle is pre-surgery, 298lbs. Left is 1 1/2 wks post-op, 280lbs. Right is a week ago, just over 230lbs.

Join me, August peeps, and show us your progress!!!

You look great!

Surgery Aug. 6. So far I have tolerated everything I have eaten. I do Zumba 2-3 times a week plus weights 2 -3 times a week. People are really noticing my weight loss. Especially the ladies in my Zumba class. I wear size 12-14 Danskin pants and they look good. I have lost about 30# since surgery. 217# day of surgery, now 187#. Sz 14 pants are getting loose in legs and butt. My waist is still big so pants are tight in waist. Overall I feel great and am glad I took 6 months to prepare my body for the surgery.

I have the same problem were my pants get big in the butt and legs but never really all that much in the stomach. My pants look so funny and it kinda bothers me. Oh well better than to tight all around!

I feel you on the hair loss. Me too. I have been growing my hair which is difficult as it is under normal conditions, now only to have it drastically falling out and getting very thin. Uuugh. I wonder when it will stop? Hang in there!
