Well I am almost 9 years out and I have struggling with regain.  I have had 2 children and am now working to get back on track and lose the gained weight.

Yesterday was 8 months since surgery.  I am down 177 lbs including pre-op loss.  I feel fantastic.  I finally bought some new clothes and it feels good to be able to buy clothes that fit and actually look nice.  No more catalog shopping!!!!  I can't wait to see what the next 4 months bring.

I am 7 months out and still feel great, down 164 lbs total. I still worry everyday that I will wakeup and I will just stop losing weight one day.  I know that day will happen, I just don't know when.  I can eat a little more now, which at times can be scary.  I just have to make sure that I am making smart choices.  I still exercise everyday. 

105 Lbs down since surgery, 152 down Total.  I had my appointment today with Dr. Kligman.  He thinks that I am doing wonderful .  He thinks that I should be able to get down to 180-160 lbs. That is too exciting. My Vitamin D is border line so I am taking 50,000 IU every other week.  He would also like for me to up my protein 20 gm.  He said that my exercise is fine, but he would like for me to be less efficient when I go somewhere.  Take the stairs instead of the elevator, park further away, anything that I can do to burn additional calories.  I am having some constipation, so he suggested that I use Benefiber.  A very good visit and I am pleased that he was happy. 

100lbs gone since surgery. Whoopee!!  I am so happy I could scream.  I can't believe that I finally made it.  After 3 weeks of no weight lost.  I am still going to the gym although I missed most of last week because of a cold and chest congestion.

95 lbs gone!!!  I feel like the weight loss is out of control.  No matter what I do, my body will only lose what it wants to lose.  When I hit 275lbs, I went up and down 1lb for 2 weeks.  I get so frustrated sometimes.  I know that just because I am not losing weight does not mean that I am not losing inches, but it is still upseting.  I fear that I will not end up below 200 lbs.  I have my appointment with Dr.Kligman next month for my  6 month check up.  We will see how it goes.

I am down 80 lbs.  I joined the gym and I really like it.  I do cardio for at least an hour 6 days per week and I have added in weights 3 days per week.  Who would of ever thought that I would be at the gym. 

 

Holy Cow!! I am  3 months out of surgery and down 61-lbs.  Time goes so fast.  I just had my appointment with Dr. Kligman.  He said that he was extremely happy with my progress.  My Vitamin D was extremely low.  I am now taking 400 IU of D 2x's per day and 50,000 IU of D 1x per week.  He also told me to discountiue Tums and take Caltrate 600+D.  I have to double my B-12.  Dr. Kligman told me that I would probaby only get to 220lbs total.  That was a little disappointing to hear. He would like for me to up my exercise to 1hour a day 6 days per week.

I am down 45lbs.  Sometimes it seems like things are going so slow.  My 3 month appointment is on January 8th.  I still do not take the time to exercise like I should.  I guess I thought that the surgery would do more of the work. My exercise bike pedal fell of and I am awaiting a replacement from the company that I purchased it from.

I am now 5 weeks out and down 34lbs. My appointment went pretty well.  Dr. Kligman would like for me to exercise for 30 minutes per day, uninterrupted.   The lump that I feel in my throat when I eat is because I am eating to fast or not chewing my food well enough.
