Patti, Congrats on your Oscar! I had surgery on April 1, 2003. What WLS did you have? I had lap band surgery and have lost 62lbs. Good luck in your journey.

Wow you are loosing fast.. I had surgery april 9th, and I am down about 65lbs. According to the scale I used on your site I am ahead of schudle a bit my self. I started at 280,, It says I should loose to 199, but hay I want to go all the way to 156 which it says is normal for me.. I can remember being reallly hot when I weighed 145, so I think that would be even better.. You are about even with me now at 215.. But you started out heavyer. what is your secret.. I have started loosing faster again going on low carb.. I completley stopped looseing when I was eating bread, and drinking milk.. My Dr Told me to drink milk and i did at first, but it about killed my diet, LOL.. [email protected].. I will prob not remember to come back to this page, so here is my e-mail.................. My husband is also a Don, and he has been pretty good about it all.. but man was he scared. and ya know when we humans get scared we get grouchy and angrey.. But I went ahead and here I am a new woman, with a large Dunlap, (belly done lapped over my belt). LOL I have size 18 or less legs and a size 20 stomach. I can not get my dunlap fixed until next spring, after my body settels... But it will happen.. I have not joined a weigh club or anything yet, because I have to wait until after It gets colder and My riding lessons settel down some. I have a 4H group now that will be comeing 3 times a week for the next 4 weeks. so Can not start to work out until after that. But cutting wood helps a good bit. and so does riding horse.. which is about every day. Well thanks for listening. Crow.
