Im pre-op and would be ecstatic to go from size 22 ( where I happen to be right now) to size 16 in LESS than the 3 months that you have CONGRATS! |

My BMI is in the healthy range now but I would still like to lose another 20 lbs for looks. He He My loses have slowed down to like a couple lbs a month. I wonder if it's over or if most people continue to lose. Any one who is a year out or more, please tell me how it went for you at the one year mark. Thanks!!!!  On my way!!!!!!Crissy  |

Member Since: 05/14/12 [Latest Posts] | Post Date: 5/25/12 6:31 am Topic: 3 days post-op Had surgery on Tuesday, 5/22. Came home the next day. Feeling ok. Still having some of the pressure from the gas but that is much better today. Figured out really quickly that if I drink to much, I will feel it. Doing my best to get my walks in....it's going to be 95+ here the next few days so it looks like Target and Walmart may get my walking. As for fluids, they want 48oz....struggling to get this but the NUT said it will get easier as I begin to heal. No proteins until tomorrow. Finally broke down and took the pain meds....felt much better and I am definitely going to stick with the rx protocol even if I don't think I need it. Guess that is all....see the dr. on Tuesday to get my staples out. |

 New Orleans, LA Member Since: 09/07/11 [Latest Posts] | Post Date: 5/25/12 6:27 am Topic: RE: Setting Goal Weight Thanks for the feedback! It's interesting to see the different areas where people fall. I was able to reverse my diabetes a few months in - so I understand getting that part under wraps. Very interesting. I guess then, I'll go with what makes me happy. :P I get told already that I'm getting 'too thin' and I just take all that with a grain of salt.   |

But remember it is for safety...to shrink your liver so your surgeon can get to to your stomach with out cutting your liver.THAT WAS THE ONLY THING THAT KEPT ME FROM EATING. My Dr. Stressed how important it was. I did cheat 1 time I had 3 nuts day before surgery. Take care =) Be Blessed. Michelle NomoreXL   |

Raleigh, NC Member Since: 08/13/08 [Latest Posts] | Post Date: 5/25/12 6:21 am Topic: RE: My Fitness Pal I've have MFP for a while but know that I need to keep myself accountable now that I've had surgery (not that I didn't before but you know what I mean). It really helps you keep up with where you are calorie wise and helps you know what you've done with your exercise. I'm still trying to get into the habit but it's definitely worth it. I have the app on my phone so I don't have to try to find a computer when I'm out somewhere. I'm sutherngrl94 on MFP.     |
