Here's my 2 cent

Hey all, I lurk mostly but wanted to let you all know that I really enjoy reading your posts. I am a slow looser (76 pounds) so far. But that is fine with me. I exercise by Walking Away the Pounds. We did buy an Ab Lounge 2 yesterday to help with my sagging belly. PS for me is out of the question. Cannot afford it and BCBS of AL will deny any coverage for this unless it hangs to your knees. I am eating without any problems. Getting in plenty of protein thru food plus shakes (like AnyWhey no flavor and Roadside Lemonaid Nectar). Feeling wonderful. Moody at times, but that is normal. Husband is very supportive of my weight loss and all that goes along with it. I was always VERY hot natured, now I go hot/cold very quickly. I am so difficult to regulate. Just wanted to let you all know that I am with you. This surgery has been a blessing for me. I feel so much better. I have 35 pounds til doctor's goal and 45 to my personal goal. I do not have a time frame, but I will get there. Hope all of you have a wonderful day!! MM

Hi Michele - So glad to hear how you are doing. 76 pounds is awesome, considering you are already relatively close to goal. (you know what I mean....compared to others...like me who have another 100 lbs to go) Please keep us posted. I come to this board all the time now because I really need to hear how others who had the surgery around the same time I did. Sending hugs Ms. Healthy -115

Hey Michelle, It's good to see how well you are doing. You aren't a slow loser though. Our surgery was the same day and I've lost 70lbs and my surgeon's nutritionist said I was losing too fast at my last visit. I promised to eat more and they said if I didn't I'd have to add a protein shake to my daily intake. I still have another 37lbs to goal. We'll be there at goal in no time. Keep up the great work and looking forward to seeing you again at the next Bama Board Bash. Christie

MIchele, You are doing GREAT! I am at about the same speed of weight loss. Let me know how you like the ab lounger. I would love one of those also. I swear I could get into a smaller size if I didn't have a gut....so frustrating, but were all struggling with that, so I won't complain. We all look and feel 100% better than before! Take care, Brenda
