I agree; way to go! And I love how positive you are. You remind me that I'm seeing small victories everyday, regardless of the number on the scale. :)

Good luck. :)

I am not religious at all and when people offer me prayers, I view it the same way I would if someone said they would keep me in their thoughts or wished me good luck. It's a kind gesture. In fact, I had my surgery at St. Vincent's and they send a priest or something around to talk to and offer...

Update: I talked to my nutritionist and she said I'm doing fine and it doesn't sound like there's anything to worry about. She's happy with the amount and variety of food I'm eating and my calorie and protein intake. She thinks the fish and turkey may have been too dry and that's why it was...

I'm sorry I can't answer your question, but I wanted to say Hi and Welcome anyway. :) I've wondered the same thing, but no one seems to have an answer for me. My medical team says they don't really look at weight loss, but percentage of weight lost and that everyone is different.

Thank you, guys. Your support means the world to me right now. :) I understand that my fears are a wee bit irrational at this point, but they exist anyway. I'm trying to take it one day at a time. And yes, the measuring spoons and cups, and just recently the food scale, have become my best...

Thank you. I can't tell you how nice it is to see other people going through similar experiences. :)

Are you still on a full liquid diet or pureed? Could something have possibly become stuck? I've had that happen and it hurts a lot.

I just wanted to say hello and introduce myself. I started losing weight by using MyFitnessPal on Easter of last year, weighing roughly 420 lbs. I had gastric bypass surgery on 12/26, so I'm 4 weeks out today and down to 306 lbs. I'm a little disappointed at the moment because I lost 30 lbs...
