I really did lose some pre op, but I gained it all back before surgery! All my "last meals"! So the weight I lost is sense surgery.

HOLY CRAP!

You are AMAZING! 

Stall?? I cant even get started! LOL I go for another fill on Monday, so I'll lose around 5lbs right off the bat...maybe this time the ball will roll faster. Im really working out now...no fartin around.

Im sorry,  wish I had words of encouragement for you...but you need to encourage me! LOL You have lost 90lbs in 5 months?? I'll assume you lost some pre-op? I dont understand why you are discouraged!

I think you are doing GREAT!

Topic: Any Stallers out there?
I am 5 months and a week post op. I have hit a stall! A nasty one at that! I keep gaining and losing the same 2lbs! Anyone else out there going through the same thing right now?

Just getting a little discouraged and need a little help getting through this one! I know I have had them before, bit for some reason, this one is kicking me harder than the last couple ones.

Thanks,
Lianne

I got a fill today!  They found another .5cc that they didn't know I had.  The same PA that unfilled me .5cc did it today.  She said it is a vacuum system and the fuller it get she said the easier to get it all out.  So I had 6cc and not 5.5 and now have 6.5cc.

Topic: RE: Fifty Pounds Lost Pics! I've earned the priviledge!
Ok so I do not feel so alone.  I felt like I was doing something wrong although the doctor has told me I am doing great.  I had RNY on 2/12/09 and I am down 66 pounds but I felt like I should have lost more after reading some of the posts from others.  I have to take some pictures so I can post them.  I do feel so much better and I know I am losing because all my clothes are to big even things I bought smaller I have lost enough that they are to big also. 

Keep up the great work as long as the numbers keep going down I am happy!!!!

For me...its slow, slow, slow.  

Its like a roller coaster. I get my fill and im riding high for two weeks...then bam...Im down in the dumps.

I'll get my 4th fill on Monday...so I'll be riding high on Tuesday. Hopefully restriction will stick around this time.

You are doing great!!

Congratulations!!!!!  On the weight loss AND working out 3x's a week!!! 

I struggle constantly with working out.... I even got way from doing my leg exercises for my total knee replacement and I can feel a difference!

But I started again on Monday doing my leg exercises and stretching.  I'm with  you about the energy level!!  It's  amazing!  And- I wasn't ready for the hair loss- mine started about 4 months out and really BAD this month!  I've always had thick hair, and I can sooooooooo see the difference!!

Keep up the good work!

Topic: 5 months too!

Hello Everyone,  I have been out of town and off the boards for over a week.  You guys are all doing so great.  This journey has been truly amazing.  If I stop and think about the difference in my life now and before surgery, WOW.

87 lbs gone since my highest.  I am trying to hit 100 lbs by my 6 months.  I have got my protein and vitamins down, but my hair...  It is still falling out.  I hope that stops soon.  Other than that, I am doing great.  Working out at the YMCA 3 times a week.  So much more energy.  This surgery has been life changing.

Thanks all you February Peeps!  Stay in touch!
