How are all the March 2003'ers doing so far?
Hey March WLS's! I'm 7 weeks Post-op and I am at the half century mark. I cannot believe I have lost 50 lbs in just 7 weeks! This surgery really works! It's been a rough journey to get this point, it has not been easy at all, I am still trying to get used to the chewing, I have to chew chew chew, otherwise I pay the price, it's all worth it with the results though. I feel so good now and my energy level has shot up! I would have never thought in a million years that I would be able to lose this much weight so quickly. Thank god for those protein shakes, they really do the trick. Thanks to this site and all the support I have received, I have gotten through it and hopefully I will reach my goal someday. How has this surgery changed your life? hope to here from some of you soon! God Bless!
Marilyn,
Congratulations on your weight loss! I had my surgery on 3/24/03 and feel great. I have lost 31 pounds so far. I agree with you it is not always easy but well worth it. I love this site and all of the changes that are being made. I hope all post ops are doing as good as you and I. I saw on your profile that you have children. Happy Mother's Day tomorrow.

Hey there. I had open rny at Bariatric Treatment Center in Wylie with Dr Julie Leverton on March 7th. Well in 9 weeks, I am down 71lbs. I started out at such a high weight that the loss is not really noticable yet (414). I am starting to feel stronger and have started working out this week. I find it hard to drink water all day long. I just pray I can lose 199 more pounds. I wish you well.
Hi and Congradulations, It is great!I had my surgery on March 17th and at 8 weeks post op I lost 40 pounds. I am having troubles with eating and keeping food down. I am doing better the last couple of days since I started a new soy protien drink, I am abl to eat and keep it down and in two days I have lost 4 pounds. This surgery is the best thing I have ever done for myself and I would do it again in a heart beat!
I had my surgery March 4th and am now down 75 pounds. The amount of energy I have is so much better than pre-op, it is amazing! I've been exercising (pool walking) for about 6 weeks now and really am starting to enjoy it. I have a very long road to go yet but I try not to dwell on it and just do what I can for today. I truly believe that the surgery saved my life. Every one is doing so great! Keep up the good work!
Hey there, I had my surgery on March 24th. I am down 41 lbs (as of last thrusday), maybe more now that it is Monday. I feel great. I have gone down 2 jeans sizes. More than that I have gone from a 48DD to a 44D in my Bra. I'm not sure I really want to lose anymore in this area or not but I guess I don't get to chose where it comes from. Congratulations to all on your weight loss and best of luck to those with upcoming surgeries.
I'm 10 weeks out and I've lost 58 pounds! I'm excited about my results, however I work hard for it. I walk 3 miles a day and I take water classes every day as well. It came off easy the first month, but I found out if I want to see similar results I have to push my body. I also eat six times a day, all high protein foods and I haven't had anything disagree with me. I wish everyone the best of luck..
Hey glad to hear all the march surgeries have gone so well and everyone is feeling so good, I had my surgery on 31march 03 and am feeling great. I am down 48lbs and still going doing lots of swimming and walking. My husband left the week after my surgery so he has yet to see me I am down from a size 20 to a 12 now, I havent been this size since our wedding 14 years and 4 kids ago. I wouldnt trade this for anything.
