Hi - I'm Heather. I haven't been on here for awhile. My surgery was on Feb. 21, 2014...today I am down to 201 from 256 in four months! I can shop in my own closet again! Lol

I did struggle with a plateau in March/April, but the weight just started to fall off after that. I've recently been sick (unrelated to surgery) but I'm going to start exercising very soon. When I was at my heaviest, I suffered from plantar fasciitis, so my feet hurt and even walking quickly became painful. I also used to have swelling in my lower extremities. All gone!! I'd like to lose 31 more lbs and get a Tummy Tuck afterwards. I'd love to be 160-165. Thanks for reading! I'll post some before and after pics. Feel free to ask me any questions you might have. :)

My surgery was at the end of January. I am feeling good, however, the longer i go, the easier it would be to fall back into bad habits. I'm glad your doing well!

My surgery was May 22, so a little more than a month. I haven't exercised yet. I am at a slow 1-4 pounds a week. I feel ok but want to know how much 1st month lost was. I was 234 pre-op, now 207. Doesn't feel like enough. Would love to lose 40 pounds in next 60 days. Any advise??

I'm 5 weeks post op tomorrow. My surgery was May 23. I've lost 32 lbs in the first four weeks and have been teeter tottering up and down with 2-3 lbs this last weeks. It's like I've stalled. Please tell me the weight loss will pick up again. I've been exercising (walking) but I have neuropathy and don't like to walk....I have to force myself. I read how your plantar fasciitis got better. My dr and I are hoping my neuropathy gets better as I lose. Any suggestions on how to get past this stall out?

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
