Topic: RE: Food variety
Hi Marilyn--I'm one of the very lucky ones (or maybe not so lucky in the long run!!) who hasn't had in problem in anything I have tried. I eat beef and pork regularly, along with chicken and seafood. My husband and I go out to eat at least once a week. I'm a cheap date now. But I think my favorite thing is baked fish with seasoning and lemon juice. Then after I fini**** I add some salsa to the top. I'm also a big believer in omelet with cheese and a slice of bacon. I tend to put salsa on it too. Of course, I still cant eat more than about 1/2 cup to a cup at one time. I found a great low-fat cookbook that has loads of low-fat, hi protein dishes. I look on the different websites, too. So don't despair. As for fastfood meals, I find that Wendy's chili is good, and most of the bean/cheese things from Taco Bell are fairly good. I tried their chicken bowl once too and it was pretty good and lasted for about 3 or 4 meals!! But then, I can eat a small hamburger or grilled chicken or grilled cheese sandwiches. I even manage to be able to find things at Popeye's fried chicken. I find that a bite of anything hasn't hurt me. That's the way I find out if I can tolerate it. So good luck. Linda
Topic: Losing Inches Only I Guess?
Hi Everyone, I'm still a member of the slow losers club. I'm also still holding between 276-278lbs at 7 months post-op and only down about 65lbs since 3/27/03. I guess I'm still losing inches because today I was able to fit in a solid size 22 dress. I ask myself, How is this possible but I guess this is great coming from a 30/32. I'll take it - LOL. Many Blessings, Marilyn.

My best advice is to consult your GYN. It could be a number of things causing this since everyone is not the same. Good luck to you hun!

Topic: Just past the seventh month anniversary
I am just past my seventh month anniversary and finally under 200 lbs. The first time I have been under 200 lbs in about 27 years!!! It feels great!! Just 3 more lbs and I will hit the century club. Weight loss this past month was the least since I had the surgery on March 28. I lost 6 lbs but lost another 7 inches!!! The inches count just as much as the lbs. I also got my hair highlighted for the first time since the surgery. My hair loss is finally slowing down and my hairdresser said my hair was okay to lighten now so that is what we did!!! I finally feel like me again when I look in the mirror!!! I hated how dark my hair was. Still working out at Curves but probably after the holidays will have to kick my exercise routine up so that I will make my goal of 150 by my anniversary date. People who did not know that I was having the surgery don't recognize me. A few times they thought my husband was out with another woman!!! We laugh about it because he is out with the new me!!! Peace until the next time. Keep the faith everyone!!!
