April 27 -- SIX MONTH ANNIVERSARY!!

Hello - I am another April 27'er & am happy to say I am down 90#. Feeling so much better about everything - I still have food issues, but every week they get better.

I am an April 27th person too. I was 320 1/04, then 315 on my surgery day 4/27. I am 213 now. I was a size 32, now very comfortable in an 18. I could wear smaller but lots of my weight was in my abdomen and now it looks like a balloon someone poked a pin into! So I have to buy to fit me around the middle! I am still having a big problem with meat, specifically beef. I can not seem to tolerate it. It hurts my pouch even when I chew it well. Does anyone out there have this problem? Even chicken can hurt some days. I eat a lot of cheese, well, okay a lot compared to other foods. My loss has slowed too. Remember when we were losing like 6 pounds a week? I am so so glad for this lifesaving surgery. I am not ignored either anymore. People actually seem to take me seriously now. I can walk into a restaurant and no one stares. Wow, life is good.

I'm a April 27er and I lost a total of 70pounds I was in 24 and some 26 and now in 14 I on a plateau right now and it feel horrible but I'm trying to cope with that. To everyone else it looks like you all are doing good keep up the good work ..
