April 13th Babies?

Happy 5 month anniversary!!!! Hasn't it been a wild ride so far!! How is everybody doing? I'm doing pretty good in eating different things and have not been getting sick at all but do get reminded at times to slow down and chew! I weighed Monday and am down 115 pounds, now only 91 more easy pounds to go lol Hugs! Lulu

Hi Lulu, glad to hear that you are doing well! I am doing great myself...I am loving my new body,, i have went from a size 24 to a size 14 and I have lost 67 pounds... Conita 250/183/145??

Hello All! April 13'r here! I too am loving my new body! I am 5'3 and started out at 271. I was wearing a tight 24, size 9 shoe and a size 46 DDD. Now I am at 193 & wearing a size 16, size 7 1/2 shoe and a 38DD. My husband took me into Victoria Secrets last weekend and bought me my first bra! It felt so great! I can also wear his 34 jeans. Although my weight loss seems to have slowed down some and my hair is falling out, I am still happy at how far I have come. Since school has started back I am seeing people that I haven't seen since May and they are shocked! Their comments can really lift your spirits and make your day. Thank you to all of you who post frequently. Some days I get really down and just need a lift. Your posting are what bring me up....so thank you! Good luck to all! 14's here I come! Amy 271/193/135?

My name is LaTonya and I had my surgery on 0413, I have lost 71 pounds and I love the new me, I love the attention I get. I love the compliments. I love not having to look for the largest item inthe store. I can now go to Walmart and pick up something. I now have a shape. What can I say this is bliss. I still have a ways to go, but I'm not were I started. I am now smaller than I was when I had my 1st child, 20 years ago. God Bless and Good luck to everyone.

Happy 5 months everybody!! I am doing great! I started out at just under 280lbs, a size 24, 9 1/2W shoe - now I'm at 190lbs, a size 14/16 (depending on manufacturer), an 8 1/2 or 9 reg width shoe and soooo much more energy! Like many I'm still losing hair but I'm confident that will stop before too long. Life has really opened up for me. I'm back in college as a full-time student and able to get around all that walking and stairs with no pain or gasping for breath. I fit in regular desks and am comfortable with myself. I can't wait to see what the next 40lbs loss looks like and am hoping that my loose skin will continue to tighten up! LOL Congrats to all!! Aylene lap RNY 4/13/04 278.8/190/150ish

Hi all,,,,,,,,,,,and congrats to everyone who is on the losing side now. I had my surgery on april 13, and have lost 86 pounds down from 282 to 195.........no more weight loss for two weeks now, and continued hair loss. I am eating more now, and feeling pretty good. I cant walk as much due to arthritis and fribromyalgia, but im still more active then i used to be. Im getting so used to how i look at this size now, and because i havent lost anymore weight for over two weeks, im beginning to feel like this is it for me..........altho i know it probably isnt true............its hard to change those scary thinking habits from before............you know the ones where you think you will always be fat and that is just the way it is.........well those thoughts i found can stil haunt you........... Well...best of continued luck for everyone......and god bles you all
