May 19 Surgery

How is everyone doing? I goofed and posted this with a surgery date in April by accident. Reasons to be grateful: I am down 25 pounds since surgery, and 48 pounds since February. Off all (5 diabetic medications), off blood pressure medication, down to 40 waist from a 44. Can wear XL shirts instead of XXL. No more snoring! Sleeping through the night without getting up to use the bathroom. My wife can reach around and hug ALL of me.http://images.obesityhelp.com/mbgraphics/emoticons/tongue.gif Negatives: occasional nausea, can't gulp down my cold iced tea any more, am at a plateau (or stall) for the past two weeks. How is everyone else doing?

John congrats to your loss the stalls come and go. I love that your wife can reach and snuggle all the way around you. I love that when my hubby can reach all the way around and touch his elbows. I feel so much smaller when my girls hug on me to what a great feeling. Keep up the great work. Hugs Toni

I guess I posted on the wrong board. I realized this is for people that just had their one year anniversary. I had my surgery in May 08. Sorry.

Yes, this is the May 2007 board, but we don't discriminate here Congrats on your successes! The stalls come and go. I am almost 13 mos. out now and have been stuck with a non moving scale since beginning of May. Then this a.m. BAM dropped a couple pounds again. Isn't it an amazing journey? Keep up the good work, John and visit us again. ~April
