Good to hear you are doing ok - a little discomfort is a good way to be - I know that some people feel a lot worse!
I had my surgery on the 15th of September last year and have lost 157lbs so far. Well, I say so far but really I should say full stop as as I think I've lost enough and am now at my ideal weight of 142lbs.
Congrats on the surgery - I'm sure you'll do great and it's good that you had yours at the same time as Gwen - she is an absolute treasure and will be a great 'podmate'.

Weekly update - I weighed myself yesterday and only lost another 2lbs - boo hoo! So that's 10lb in 2 weeks since the op.....I am defo a slow loser - but a loser nevertheless! Will post weight loss (if any!!) next week too.
Am feeling great all round though, wounds have healed and no major worries or anything.
hi all,grt to see your all doing well.kim is doing grt now and its certainly the best money ive spent.her zest for life has never been keener.from day one she was up and at them and after being dragged around brugges for 2 days sightseeing ,im the one who is knackered lol.kims now swimmming regularly and there is still not a wrinkle in sight{think thats my massage technique though}.its grt we are all talking but must say that people should be guarded against comparing with each other too much,as marc said,your all different.you will all get there in your own time.lu-lu our daughter is now going to try and spare her the 30 yrs of yo yo dieting mum has gone through,shes inherited mums genes as far as all this is concerned and mirrors mum at her age.really good to hear from you clair{tell mum ive stopped limping after the yomp to the hosp lol}stay in touch hun.good to see gwen abut,you look lovely hun,say hi to dennis for me.anyone heard from mick?????take care everyone.xxxxxxx pete
Weekly update. After only losing 2lbs last week, this week I have lost a further 9lbs - so that makes a total of 19lbs in 3 weeks. It is weird because all week I did not feel as if I was losing much weight at all - all very odd! I still feel as if I have been dieting and I suppose this is what they call dealing with 'head-hunger' and I think I am now adjusting to this. Anyway, I am really pleased with the progress so far and my faith in myself and the surgery is being restored.
I am posting my weekly weight loss so as to help myself keep a good track and to help others too, both pre-op or post. I have benefited from reading others stories before my op and believe that the more different experiences written about, the better.
Hope everyone is feeling good. I am still feeling great, no problems with food or well-being - just beginning to enjoy life positively!
Hi gals!!! its lou lou (brugge babe kims daughter)
Hi girlies!My name is lou. im brugge babe kims daughter and i have been told that you have invited me to join ur club!
I am having the gastric bypass on the 7th of november and im soooooo excited about it. it gets a little scarier as the day gets closer but i am not regretting my decsion at all.
I feel like im rolling around now, this is partly due to me having the 'last supper' for the last few weeks since i have made the decsion to have this done!
I hope you are all getting on well and are injoying ur new lives as skinny birds!lol

Great to have you on board! Don't worry about a thing babe, Dr D and this surgery are the total biz. I don't know if you've also seen this UK forum -http://www.wlsinfo.org.uk/ but this also has great advice, not to mention a great before and after gallery. I am sure everyone will advise the same - the more research the better!
Good luck with everything and looking forward to sharing your journey.
thanks for writing back and making me feel so welcome on here.
I have just been sitting with my mum and we have had a look at the site you suggested. some of the before and after photos are amazing and it definately gives you hope. Although with this surgery you know you will lose weight there is always that niggling thought in your head that maybe your body is supposed to be this big! I know it is silly and deep down you know its not true but it is still one of those stupid negative thoughts you have!lol
Anyone else or is it just me?
