Well I really don't know what else to say but WELL H**l! I don't know what is going on. Since surgery on 8/28/13 I have lost 23 lbs. That is 8 weeks on Wed. Being on the bigger side at 330 on day of surgery I was hoping for better. How do you all do it? I hear a lot of you talking about you can barely eat 1/2 cup at a time and 600 - 700 calories a day. Well that ain't me folks. I have no problem eating anything and I can eat 1000 calories a day easy. I don't go over 1000 but I can eat 1000.

Well it is happening so weirdly but today I am under 300. My surgery was Aug 28th and as of today I have lost 21 lbs. But I have lost 4 inches of my waist and 4 inches off my hips. I have lost but you can not tell it on the scale. I was so glad to see 299. That was my first goal just to get out of the 300's. Next goal is 275. I was hoping to be there by the time we leave on our cruise on Nov 18th. Not sure I will make that but will be happy with where I am either way. Thank you all for the

Well tomorrow will be 3 weeks since surgery. I started this journey at 350 and was 320 the day of surgery. 1st week post op lost 10 lbs. And nothing since (well except for part of a pound). Really not understanding to much. At 308 (said 309 this morning) and 5' 10" I have always been able to lose 2 - 3lbs a week at 1600 calories and walking 1 mile (just 1). Now at 700 - 800 and walking 1 mile I am not losing any. This is really beginning to get frustrating. I have a fitbit that keeps
