april 20th, 5 months post op

wow, the time has really flown by. I am down 75 pounds and I walk 2 1/2 miles a day. I feel wonderful, my weight loss has slowed down to a crawl but it is still coming off. I am down from a size 26 pants to a 18. could go smaller but I have a rather large hernia near my belly button and it needs the extra room, my doctor will fix the hernia when I get close to my goal.

I have tried to increase my protien again which seems to speed up my weight loss. You are doing great. 75 pounds is awesome! I was much bigger than you when I started (size 32). That makes a difference. Dianne

Donna, How AWESOME!!!!! I'm down 70 pounds - seen the teens on the scale for the first time since high school (20 years ago).... I went from a size 24 to a size 18.....got the greatest compliment at work tonight....walked past a second shift person in my "new" jeans - not the old baggy ones I've been wearing - said hi - they did a complete turn around and said "Nancy - is that you?......YOU LOOK GREAT" anyway, made my night.. Keep up the GREAT work..... Nancy

wow Donna that's great!!! i'm also 4/20, and i'm down 57 pound yes i'm slow, but steady. God bless on your continued success.

thanks classy ma Donna

Hey Donna R. It's Donna P. ! I had my surgery with Dr. Argotte on April 15th and I'm doing well too! I've lost 89lbs so far. My energy hasn't really increased much, but I'm sure it will. From August to September I hardly lost anything, but now it's coming back off. Hang in there girl! We've got nowhere to go but down...in pounds that is! Donna P.

Hi Donna, I hope to see my weight start to come off again soon. You are doing great with a loss of 89 pounds! Donna R
