Monthly Progress Report

Okay here goes... Surgery was 4/14 and I started at 272. I'm down 75 lbs to 197. Wahoo Onederland! It's been 22 yrs since I've been below 200. Last month I averaged about 4 lbs a week and this month it's only a couple. Hope it picks up again. I have short hair, so don't notice as much hair loss. There is some in the drain tho. The next very best part is my blood sugar has been running between 100 and 110 in the am. (It was around 200 before surgery and that was on my meds!) Good luck to everyone!!! And keep posting.. Janie 4/14/2004 272/197/140?

I just have to shout. I've lost another 4 lbs bringing my total to 85lbs. I'm within smelling distance of 250.

I am down 71 pounds, and have 41 to go and I will hit my goal weight... this is the best thing I have ever done!!

well mmm im down to 175 from 242 so thats 67 lbs. i saw my before picture and then my after and i couldnt believe it. shock!!! my protein is low actually very low my hair is falling out. my prealbumin is low. things are very slowly getting better.

HI FELLOW APRIL LOSERS! My drop has also slowed - but as long as the needle on the scale is heading in the right direction, I am hap hap happy! As of this AM I am down 117 pounds...I have a co-worker that weighs 120 - so I joke that I have almost lost her! I start everyday with 35-40 grams of NECTAR protein (I mix a few flavors in with crystal light) - I fill it with ice & munch it all the way to work, Lunch varies - today it was shrimp with lobster sauce with a few bites of rice. I may eat the egg drop soup for afternoon snack, or usually save iit for lunch the next day. For snack I usually keep a power crunch bar around (13 G protein) - A few days a week I eat a can of albacore tuna (37.5 G Protein). Dinner is a salad, a few bites of what teh family may be eating, or I just pop a lean cuisine without carbs. I also eat tons of sugar free popsicle brand popsicles and also EXCERCISE!!! I TRY & WALK A FEW MILES ALMOST DAILY, AND I GO TO THE POOL AND SWIM 20 LAPS OR SO... It is amazing that I love excercise so much!! But it's true!! I hope all of your journey's are going well, and I hope to see everyone in November at the DC OH event!! David
