how much has everyone lost
My surgery was on 1/9...I weighed in at 316 lbs. Yesterday I weighed in at 259!!!!!!!!! I have lost 59 pounds.
I feel great, have so much more energy. Was able to go on a plane trip and not use a seat belt extender. My clothes are falling off before my eyes. I have only bought 3 or 4 new items.
Today I have to buy new bras and underwear. They are so big I feel like a bag lady. When I was a kid my mom was such a freak about our underclothes being clean and fitting properly, she would have a fit if she saw these things!!!!!!!!!! Maybe I'll take a picture and send it to her.
Anyway things can only go down (weight wise) from here.

Nothing to brag about here ... I had surgery 1/16/06 and have lost 38 pounds. At one point I was up to almost 42 pounds lost but I gained a bunch back overnight. And now I am stalled again.
I have lost weight easier on traditional diets. This sucks, I really wish I did not have the surgery.
God Bless,

Don't be discouraged Jen, I'm in the same boat as you. I had my surgery on 1/16 too and some days I lost 42 and others I only lost 37. (If I steip naked I am back at 42 but there was a time that I was at 42 while dressed.) I don't regret this surgery for a minute. I know without it I wouldn't have lost anything close to even 38 pounds in 2 months.

Thanks Dawn, I am discouraged b/c I have lost more on other diets. I went to this diet dr that had some great pills and supplements and the weight just melted off. Of course, it did not stay off. I am hoping the surgery is my answer to helping the weight stay off. On the up side the scale did move yesterday ... 2 pounds ... So I am almost back to my high weight loss.
God Bless,
Jen
