Topic: RE: YIPPIE, YIPPIE
That is so great for you! It is soooo exciting to finally be out of the "women's" section. Although I do find that now I have to try everything on. I have also decreased my caffine and soda intake and started drinking crystal light. I have been stuck for like a month and in 4 days I lost 3 pounds. The amazing power of water. I never thought to see a size 8 but I am there and sooo happy. My FNP wants me at 130 but I want 120. I always said if i stopped at 150 I'd be happy, but the smaller I get the more I want to lose! Everyone keep up the great work! I have 25 more lbs to goal and I am going to make it.

Topic: Just found this board
Hi all I never knew that there was a board just for people that share the same surgery month as you. That is awesome. I have been a member of OH since last October, and have loved everysingel minute of it. I am an active member of my local state message board, but would also like to get invovled in this on too. Here is the short scoop on me.
I am 26 and had Micropouch RNY 01/19/04 in Detroit, MI with the CORI Centers. At which time I weighted in at 295, today 6 months later I am down to 194 and only have 70 more pounds to reach goal. I am so thankful for my new lease on life, and everything that getting this wonderful tool has done for me mentally, emotionally, and physically. What a great blessing it has been to get this tool, and a new lease on life. I have tons of pics on my profile if you wanna check it out, most of them are from many WLS get togethers adn people from the Michigan board.

I am just like Catherine@@@@@@@@
I tell you my period is coming so I have been so so hungry!!!!! Now when I do this, like catherine I seem to lose more as well.
I know this is nuts but the more I consume the more I lose at the end of the week.
I am also noticing I can eat meals now. I could not get down a meal for the longest time , now I am eating chicken, salad and some rice and its fulling and not getting stuck.
Topic: RE: Eating too much?
You may want to try eating a little more. I have been keeping my calories around 1000 per day and I find the higher I stay the more I loose per week. I have 2 snacks of nuts, soy nuts, cheese & pepperoni plus my 3 meals and water.
You are doing great - but those plateaus stink.

Hi Pat,
Your doing much better than me eating and excercising!
A couple of days ago I couldn't seem to get enough food, yes binging...The next day I hardly ate anything, and guess what, I weighed myself the next day and I had lost 2 lbs. confusing you bet!
So sometimes I think it's like gaining weight, diet and you'll gain, I beginning to think there is no rhymm or reason to it. All I know is when I shake things up I loose when I don't I plateau or gain.
Confused Meee Tooo!
