Topic: RE: New Surgery - No Scars
Once the stomaphy x and the rose (I think its called) procedures came out for revisions, I knew it was just a matter of time before a less invasive procedure was available for first time surgeries.  Too bad I could not afford to wait so long.  I'd already waited till the standard for wls's in general went from open to lap before taking the plunge.

Topic: RE: How all the February peeps doing?

A few days shy of four months, I'm still struggling to loose that first 50 lbs.   I expected to reach that landmark at three months out.  I remain metabolically challenged loosing 13.3lbs and gaining 10.4lbs this month.  It still blows me away that this can happen after an RNY when I'm consuming just 900 calories a day and exercising away another 800-1200 calories. 

I can't help but get discouraged, however I have remained in Onederland for a month and my BP is out of the stroke range.  I'm glad I did not know the full extent of my metabloism problems pre op.  While I still look for a solution, at least I'm 48 lbs lighter.

Hey everyone! Congrats! You are all doing great!!!
  I'm almost 4 months out (June 9th), and doing pretty darned good! I'm hitting the gym average 5 x's per week. Biking, Swimming, Weights. I'm down 83 lbs. This week I've had my slowest loss, but it's okay. I know I'm going to have "those times"  so I'm just taking it in stride (lol). Averaging 550 calories per day, and on workout days, expending between 400 - 500 calories (workouts only, not daily stuff...like breathing).
I quit using my C-pap at two months. I was sleeping sounder without it. Personally, it's been a stressful past several months, but that is when I hit the workouts even harder (my therapy). I actually "panic" if I miss more than two days of going to gym...eeek!!
You all take care-
         Big hugs (I can get my arms further around all of you!)
