Topic: I learned to be careful
This weekend my husband and I went to a Football game in Tampa. All I ate that morning was an ounce of beef jerky, and two bottles of water. Then we walked to the stadium from our parking spot, about 1.5-2 miles. I then went up to the top of the stadium (we had nose bleed seats). When there I drank some diet coke (I know, but there was no****er in sight) and sucked on ice. Well when I went down to go to the ladies room, I had to stop and sit on the floor, I blacked out for a minute. Then I was fine to stand, i got some water and some beef and felt better very fast. The point of this story is.... I now know that even if I feel ok, I better get in enough protien and water if I am walking that much. So I want to share this with you all, so you will now know too. This was very scarey and I really felt like the world was spinning and I could not come back. So be careful, learn from my mistake

I have lost 90lbs. My average is between 5-7 lbs per month now. My goal is to lose another 44 lbs then I will be happy.

Jenny,
Was your pouch empty when you started to eat? I have found that if I haven't eaten for a long time (like eat dinner late after having an early lunch) that when I do eat I get a crampy feeling in my intestines. It usually goes away in a couple hours. This has happened to me a couple times. I would ask your dr about it at your appt just to be sure there isn't anything wrong.
Good luck,
Kim
Topic: RE: Who hasn't lost 100 lbs?
I have lost 91 lbs since 1/24/05 and feel great. My starting weight was 286. I only seem to lose 2 weeks out of the month but I lose about 6 lbs a month. I have 45 lbs to lose to meet MY goal weight then I will see if I want to lose more. I have loose skin on my legs and stomach area but I am dealing with it.
We are all doing fantastic.

Hi Syndi. It has been a while since I was on the board mostly because of a stupid stall. I was stalled for a little over 4 weeks but last week I had a 3 lb loss. I upped my protein intake and my exercise and it seemed to work. I forgot to weigh myself this week but maybe that is a good thing. You will lose again soon.

thanks Topic: RE: Menu almost 9 months out!
Hey,
Your menu sounds right on to me. I was 9 months out on the 12th and here is my typical menu:
7 am Unjury protein shake after treadmill workout
8:30 Cottage cheese w/pinapple
Noon 8-10 oz of protein and veggies (turkey, chicken, pork)
3 pm Unjury protein shake
7 pm 8-10 oz of protein and veggies (similiar to lunch)
I do not snack or eat carbs like bread, pasta, rice, etc., and never drink when I eat. My water intake is about 100 - 120oz per day.
As of today I have lost 143lbs since 1/12/05 and 160lbs from my highest weight. It is amazing what a difference this surgery has made in my life. This weekend I actually bought a pair of size 13 junior pants (this is from a size 28W only 9 months ago). I am so pleased with my progress and now am actively researching plastic surgery for next spring.
Keep up the good work.
