Topic: RE: Updates Needed!!
Hi there. I had my surgery on February 13th. I have lost 50 pounds (40 since surgery). I am at 221. I am very happy with the pace of the weight loss. I would like to see the February group update at least with a weekly update like the January group does. It would be nice to follow your progress.
Have a great weekend!

Hi All!
I will be 12 weeks on Monday the 30th. I have lost 59 pounds and life is so good! I have had ZERO complications and ZERO problems with food. I have gotten food stuck twice and that was simply because I ate too fast....haven't done that again! I don't eat very much and am not hungry at all...except in the evening I get a little hungry. I eat all kinds of different foods..and haven't had anything "disagree" with me. Some things sit heavier than others...but still never had any nausea or "upset tummy" feeling. I take my vitamins daily and try to get in a 100 grams of protein a day. I am anxiously awaiting to see if I get the dreaded "hair loss" thing...I sure hope not. Here I am feeling all cute with the weight loss and really don't wanna look bald...not in fashion this season...LOL.
All I can say is....I am so glad I had this surgery...and I feel FANTASTIC!!!!
Lets try to keep this board up and running...it's lonely..

I want to be at that point when I am 3 months out!!!! I am 64 days out and I have lost 51 pounds! That the most I have ever lost in my entire life! I am getting used to not eating as much. When it comes to eating with my family, well, I take a tablespoon of all items (usually 3-4) and place them on mu plate and chew slow. I never can finish what I have on my plate but at least I get to taste everything. I am not the first one finished any more, which is great, but I take my time and wait inbetween bites so as to make sure it goes down all the way. I have picked up to talking more at the table than before as well. Keep up the good work!

Ok you guys! Ya'll are way ahead of me. I'm 9 weeks out and 38 pounds down. I stalled for 3 weeks and that drove me crazy. You guys are doing great! You are the lucky ones who are losing faster. Be proud!

Hey Shelley!
I was thinking the same thing! This board seems to have slacked off a little!
I am going to be 3 months out on 5/6/07, and I have a lost a total of 70 lbs since then. In my head, I am thinking that I am losing it waaaay toooooo slow! I am exercising 2days a week for an hour (areobics class), and MWF I am walking. I have a heart monitor, so I try to get it up to my "target" range when I walk. I drink a protein drink every morning, (my breakfast meal) and a protein bar replaces the afternoon meal. I don't know what else to do to pick up on the weight loss. I am about 15 pounds behind where my surgeon wants me to be right now! I dread seeing him on the 11th!
I can eat 4 oz. meals at a time, 5X a day. (per my surgeon & my nut's instructions). Things I CAN NOT Eat is Chicken Breast. It doesn't matter how juicy it is, or how it is cooked, it comes right back up! Greasy foods and any kind of sugar also spells "Doom" for the pouch.
I love the weight loss, the energy, and the 3 sizes smaller clothes I am wearing now! My clothes are again getting too big! YIPEE! I guess I just have to be patient, and stay the course, and my body will eventually get the message.
Take care Ms. Shelley! Is it warm in MN yet?

Hey everyone!
How about some updates on how everyone is doing? This board seems to be a little inactive, so let's pick it up a little!!
I am almost 3 months out (on Mayl 2), and I have lost 63 pounds. I have not really had any complications, but I am having a hard time adapting to regular eating. I am having a very difficult time eating with my family and not overdoing it to the point it comes back out. I am still able to eat only about 1/4 cup or LESS at a time. I have learned that greasy foods, eggs, and spaghetti are no-no's for me so far...
I LOVE the weight loss and I LOVE the energy I have, but I would like to be able to eat meals with my family. How do you not eat 1/4 cup of food in a few minutes??
Anyway, I am just wondering how everyone else is doing......
Let's see some messages!

You have to fudge some numbers to get vitamins in. I do not take the pak, but I put in each vitamin individually. It uses a base calculation so you sometimes have to play with the calories to get it in.
Topic: RE: 8 weeks out & down 55lbs.
Hello everyone...I'm 10 weeks out and down 40lbs....I'm really excited as well but didn't think it was enough. I know others who have lost more then me but had surgery only a few days before I. I can eat pretty good right now which is great. I just returned from being on vacation in the States for 3 weeks and it was tough to avoid all the great food. I just want to say Great Job to everyone and keep up the good work.

Topic: RE: Trouble Eating Eggs
I wonder what it is about eggs? I tried to eat them twice and got quite ill both times. Very strange!
Topic: RE: 8 weeks out & down 55lbs.
I am 8 weeks out too and am down 36 lbs. The scale finally started moving again after a 3 week stall! However, I have lost 36.5 inches total! I think I am more pleased about the inches than the weight. I am so glad I measured myself. It has been a big help during the last 3 weeks. If you haven't measured yourself do it now and you won't feel so bad during stalls.
