How is everyone else doing with their wls?

I was Cheezin yesterday I went for my post op visit, I'll be 5 months out on the 20th and I am down 89 pounds I've went from a size 22/24 to a very comfortable 14 , all my blood work was normal, no hair loss so far, no complications. It feels good to be a loser. Melinda

Congratualtions Sarah!!!! 102.5 is awesome. I know exactly how you feel because a couple of hours ago I got on the scale and I have lost 100.5 lbs since my surgery on January 23! Keep up the great work!!! I've got to get going on some more strenous exercise. Maybe i'll hop on the Pilates bandwagon too.

I started the process at 455, had surgery on 1/12/04 at 430. I am currently at 312, and feel great. I am off of all my meds for diabetes and blood pressure. Jeremy

First, my name is JoAnn. I too had the surgery on January 19th. In my beginning months it was hard on me as my system was not allowing me to keep down the foods I was eating. So you know where I was most of the time. It was a bummer at first. But I am now 5 months and around 3 1/2 to 4 months after the surgery my system starting digesting the food. Except I still have some problems with noodles, rice and sometimes potatos, Pork chops no mattewr how thin I get them they will noyt digest for me. Other than that I am able to eat most foods now. I weighed 419 before I decided to have the surgery. I lost 21 1/2 pounds 2 weeks before the surgery. I now weigh 303. I total that at 116 pounds. I was at a 3 week stand still not losing weight and I was told that is normal. I am happy with waht I have lost and I no longer have to take my diabetes or B/P meds. I am only taking Celexa for depression and talwin every now and then for my knee pain. I do take a Multiviatmin with iron,. 1500 MG of calcium, B-Complex every day and 1000 Mg B-12 shot once a month. I am so happy to be off my meds. I have 175 pounds to go to get down to be 130 Pounds. But I will see what I look like at 150 pounds. I think I will have to go down to 130 pounds as I am small bone and I am only 5 foot. I wish you much sucess as you comtinue to lose the weight and I also would love to be your new friend and get emails from you. My email addresss is [email protected] I look forward to hearing from you.Take care and God Bless you. Sincerly, JoAnn
