Happiest Girl In The World

I have lost 80 lbs. in less then 6 months and still going . I went from a size 28 to a 14 and they are baggy only 5 days after getting into them. Its so exciting to put on new sizes. My husband really likes the changes and is eating alot healthier too! my health has improved and for the first time in over 15 years i went to the park with my 4 year old nephew and actually ran around the swings and slides , we played in the field more then with the toys and i didnt even have to stop for air ....... My nephew is a very active 4 yr. old and really keeps me going. Some of my friends dont even recognize me after not seeing me for 2 or3 weeks at a time. I love my reults and anyone who needs or just wants to talk jus e-mail me and we can swap # or meet somewhere. Thank you Dr. S. cara clay 4-22-2003

Cara, I was just reading your posting and I actually get excited with your results wondering if it will be this good for me when/if I have my surgery. I am pending a response from my insurance company. I was originally thinking of getting the Lap Band but due to my weakness in sweets in the past i am afriad to go back to that and therefore fail with the lap band. I chose the RNY Lap hoping to first of all get back to being healthy and than of course, to lose the most weight possible. I currently weigh 200 lbs and am 4' 11". I am suppose to weigh 114 but would be so happy with 130 lbs. But than again that sounds like a far far away dream since the last time I weighed 130 lbs was in 1989 when I got married. Did you have your RNy laproscopically? Can you give me an example of what you ate the first two weeks? What kind of vitamins are you taking and how do you know which ones to buy. Do you swallow them or do you have to crush them into your meals? thanks, Syl
