Today I went to the Dr I m at 191 such a good feeling feeel like I have so much more energy

I had my 2 months post op today I was at 200 even now today 12-19-12 I m at 194 :)  I feel so good and energetic I bought new jeans 2 weeks ago and they are already getting loose I know that it wont always come off this easy but for now I feel awesome and I love the compliments and comments I have been getting because I dont feel like I have lost or look like I have lost very much wish I could get some pics to upload.

Had been stuck at 210 for so long and I am finally at 202-204 I have been walking alot and I go back for my 2 month post op appointment next friday I m trying to get to 195 by christmas that is my goal.  Seems likes somedays I can eat alot more than others but the last week or so I have only been able to eat a few bites at a time before I feel full this is such a good feeling.  I have alot more energy and I feel a lot happier.  I have been wearing clothes I havent worn in years and I feel so much more confident.  I m so thankful for this opportunity.  I bought new jeans yesterday at maurices I got to buy them on the "misses" size havent done that since high school its such a good feeling.  I m thankful for this opportunity. Hope everyone has a blessed month :)  I also had to go buy a few pairs of smaller scrubs for work.  I wore 2x before and I fit in a large now its an exciting feeling!

Today I went back to Grinnell for my one month check up I was down 12 pounds since I was there 3 weeks ago.  I told them how frustrated I was that i have been stuck at the same weight for over 10 days what is more frustrating is that my 14 month baby eats more than me and I m stuck and I m exsersing but they reminded me that i will stair step and not to get down on myself about it.  Did anyone elses weight stairstep in the beginning?

On my way to the 4 th week and just wondering what were some of your "favorite" go to foods while you were in this phase?

I m new to the website and I just had my surgery on October 9th I had some complications and I m just now starting to feel a little bit better I had problems with bleeding after my surgery and had to have 7 blood transfusions and was in Intensive care for a week after surgery.  I m 28 and I m looking to meet some new people and to keep a journal along the way I m 3 weeks out and have lost 25 lbs my next goal is 10 lbs and to be under 200 lbs.  In the beginning what was everyones weight loss like?  I dont know what to expect?  I gained alot of fluid while i was in the hospital so I feel like my weight loss has been slow due to weighing more when I left the hospital than when I went in for surgery.
