hazeleyeflgal 30 Posted January 19, 2014 It's strange to step on the scale and the pounds are just falling off 4-5 lbs. a day. But I guess with eating only about 500 calories a day that will do it. Still feeling weak though...I thnk my two days of trotzkies did me in. I don't think I can go back to work on Tuesday. Anyone else ready to get back to work yet?

hazeleyeflgal 30 Posted January 20, 2014 Lost 10 lbs. in the week before surgery on liquid diet and have lost 11 lbs. this week. Total of 21 lbs. Yippee!!! Just put on some jeans that hardly coveerd my butt before and the waist pulls all the way up in the back!!! Went through a box of clothes last night...Found pants the next 3 sizes down from what I wear now. At least that will help get me through without buying a lot. I have a lot of stretchy tops that will work for a while...instead of being stretched out they should start fitting well. 1 Schmincke reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dlm59 16 Posted January 20, 2014 Lol you guys are cracking me up! No bm here hopefully I can announce one soon lol I didn't go on the scale today but yesterday I was 7 down from surgery total of 14 from liquid diet.< /p> I have 1 large incision from where my lap-band, port and stomach. It's about 5 inches long. I am having horrible pain from it. The other 4 I can't even feel. The pain at times makes me scream! Not fun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MJM2012 27 Posted January 20, 2014 Congratsss everyone!! I lost 13 pounds down!!! In one week!! Im 259!!!! I was 272 surgery day Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hazeleyeflgal 30 Posted January 20, 2014 From what I hear you lost mostly Water on the first week of the liquid diet, so the pounds lost the second week are fat coming off. Goodby and good riddance!!! Anyone remember the old routine..."Go You Chickenfat Go." OMG my high school gym teacher used to play that record and we exercised to it. No idea why I just remembered that!! dim59 I can imagine that hurts. I had a 12" long incision down my abdomen when I had gall bladder and hernia surgery a few years ago. That takes a while to heal. I've gone from 350 to 329. It will be nice to see that first number be a "2" soon!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tess415 1 Posted January 21, 2014 Wow!!! Those are some great numbers you guys are pulling!!! I've lost 5 since surgery and 7 the week before... I will be happy with that!!! Has anyone started walking or anything for exercise?? I wanted to today, but this morning I had an episode of weakness and felt kind of faint. It passed, but I took it as a sign to not push it today.

MJM2012 27 Posted January 21, 2014 Sunday I went to hair salon, then to target n Sunday service....and all I can say is that im still very tired.... I also feel like I need more than one or two naps during the day. Do you guys know when do we get green light to go to the gym? I feel very motivated, no much energy, but cant wait!
