I think you are doing great! I have about 50 more to go also. My weight loss has slowed down. When I get bummed about it I think how much I'd weigh now if I hadn't had it done. I too wear 14's and 16's. I never thought I'd wear those sizes. Hang in there. High protein, low carbs, and excise. Congratulations on your fabulous weight loss. I'll post my 6 mo. results on 10/2/03 after my appt. What a fabulous six months it has been!

Congrats on your loss. You are doing great and will continue to lose. Keep up the good work and you will reach your goal in time.

I just hit my 6 month anniversary at 88 lbs gone forever. This month has been the slowest moving for me. I hit my first plateau. I was hoping for at least 90 lbs by now but will take the 88 lbs. This month I was not able to work out as much and I think that was part of the problem. This month I am going to try to get to gym at least 4 to 5 times a week. I know when I do that I am feeling better!! Also just saw my endocrinologist two weeks ago and she upped by thyroid medication since my thyroid levels went a little wacky. That has also helped the scale to start moving and making me feel a little better energy wise. I am in a size 18 and some 16's what a difference from a size 28. I enjoyed clothes shopping for first time in my life. The only problem now is that is I am in the in between the big women's shop and regular shop. Oh well that is only a matter of time before that changes!!! This was the best thing that I have done for me in my whole life!!!!

Today is my 6-month post-op anniverary. As of today I've lost 61lbs since my WLS and a grand total of 73lbs. I know that majority has lost 80-100lbs so far but I'm a very slow loser but yet I'm happy that I'm losing and not gaining. I'm also blessed that I've not had any physical problems or ailments since surgery. Thank you all for your support and encouraging words. Many Blessings, Marilyn in Lexington, KY.
