I had my surgery on April 18th and have lost 140 pounds and maintained it for the past few months. I feel great and have started exercising on the treadmill. In January I only did 10 miles, in February 35 miles, and already this month I've done 57 miles. It won't be long and I'll be joining Jenn in the 5k race events.
My wife had her surgery on April 7th and has lost over 170 pounds. We've moved to a new state, new jobs, and it's just been an amazing year.
Everyone in the April group has done wonderful.

Hello Joan, I hope April is a easier month for you. I can relate to your difficulties as I have the need to have both knees and a shoulder possibly replaced because of degenerative joint disease, but the thought of going through surgery now is not very appealing I really want to lose some more weight first. But I can say I am dealing with the pain much better after weight loss, just imagine how difficult it would be if this had happened to you before you had WLS.
My weight loss has slowed way down again, nothing this month so far. I appreciate your Ethel wants to know postings, it has encourage me to keep track of my daily in take even if I don't post it on line here I track it on sparkpeople web site too.
I usually post in the evening so I get everything I might of eaten in the total I am not much of ahead of time planner. So I will check back later.
Thanks, SHer
