Happy One Month Rebirthday Anniversary to meeeeeee!!!!

Happy One Month Rebirthday Anniversary to meeeeeee!!!! Happy One Month Rebirthday Anniversary to meeeeeee!!!! Happy One Month Rebirthday Anniversary, dear Kathy!!!! Happy One Month Rebirthday Anniversary to meeeeeee!!!! (insert drum roll please...) I'm very pleased to announce since my surgery 5/20/2995 that I've lost 25 lbs since surgery for a total of 57 lbs (since mid-Feb pre-op diet). I am 1 lb short of HALFWAY to goal! I am so excited! I set a reasonable goal of 160 for myself. Never been there except on my way up and that was in 8th grade! I was down to 167 (for a day or two) in the early 1980s but bounced back up to over 170 where I stayed for a bit before making my weight progress back up and down and up and down. You know the drill! Right now, I'm hungry and thirsty but cannot eat or drink. Have my endoscopy at 11:15 this morning. Nothing was funnier last night than Rich pretending to be my pouch Igor and doing this sort of raspy smokey devil type voice saying "Give me an %#*@ing burger...I'm hungry!" Of course, watching the burger cookoff on The Food Network wasn't the smartest of ideas when all you can tolerate is fluids - slowly, eh? I'll post after my endoscopy. I'm sure all will go well and I'll be happy when they tell me that I can silence the grumbling inner voice! Kathy lap RNY 5/20/05~ 5'7.5"~ 276/244/219/160 (consult/pre-op/curr/goal)

Duh 2995? I'll be dust then...make that 2005.

Halfway to goal? WOW!!! CONGRATS!!!! I am NO WAY 1/2 way to my goal!!! I'm exactly 4 weeks today and I'm down 30lbs even. I'm just average, Doc says 30lbs is the avg. 1mth loss. I'm pleased but would LOVE to be 1/2 way! I weighed 200lbs this morning so that means I need to loose 65 more lbs to be at my personal goal! YIKES!!! THATS ALLOT!!! Well, I was sort of happy this morning, but now I'm not so sure.....No, I'm kidding, I'm VERY proud of myself, Doc allowed me to go back to my full work-out and on my Ab-Lounge I did 150 side crunches on each side and 150 in the center for a grand total of 450!!!!! Which was where I was pre-op!!! I know I am turning into a FAT-BURNING FURNACE! So maybe I do have a shot at the 1/2 way mark in the not to distant future! Tell Rich to quit singing you those EVIL BURGER songs! You don't need no stinking burger! (well, maybe just one little one)......

wow congratulations you are doing great. i weighed today and have only lost 8 pounds since may 30 i am so upset. I have only lost 38 lbs since surgery. My total weight loss is 53.5 that I started in like febuary. i still have 195 lbs to my goal. how are you being so successful is it because you can't eat? Why do you have a scope. Any thoughts would be helpful thanks Brenda lost and mad..

Hey Brenda, We had surgery the same day, and I have lost 39 pounds. I think that we are doing just fine! Hang in there girl... Aliya
