Congratulations! 100 lbs is a LOT! Good luck getting there. It took me almost a month to get the last few lbs off. I'm now down 108, but I don't feel as desperate as I did when I was waiting for it to be -100! Hugggs, Heidi

Hi Mary Ellen, Even though my date was April 1, I look at March postings every so often and am I glad I did. I have been stalled and struggling at the 50 pound mark. I feel like I must be doing something wrong. I've think I've tried everything from increasing my water , protein and exercise to "plateau buster" eating all to no avail. My daughter who had the surgery after me has lost more weight than I have and eats more and exercises less. I dread seeing my surgeon for my 6 month visit cause she is a "no nonsense" kind of doctor and I know she will think I am screwing up. I walk 2-3 miles a day and sometimes get an extra mile in the evening but I go back and forth with the same 2 or 3 pounds. It is so frustrating. Keep us posted! Jackie

I am just 9 pounds away from the century mark. I wasn't going to update until I had lost the 100 pounds but I was so happy, this morning when I weighed it was just -90lbs, I don't usually weigh early in the am but I had church and wanted to weigh before I left. I weighed again when I got home and it was 222, thats 9 pounds away from me being a member of the century club. Making the century club has been my first goal and I am just so blessed. I still don't see the weight loss very much but I see it some and others see it more. I know as I keep losing I will see it more and more! I am just so happy and wanted to share! Love and Hugs Angela God Bless! Open RNY 3/24/05 313/222/140???

I experianced "dumping" for the first time this morning. Can you bleieve it has been almost six months without a dumping episode? It was on bacon! I had 2 strips. It must have been all the fat on it. I started feeling nausous and very weak. We were in a Gander Mountain store. My husband had to practically carry me out. OI was sick all the way home! I went staight to bed and slept it off! Oh God I hope I never go through that again! Anyone else get sick from bacon? Melanie 232/153/130ish
