I hope everyone is doing GREAT. My weight started off at 232 bmi38.9(light weight) and now I'm 179 wearing a size 14 and medium shirt. I work out at least 3-4 times a week, I'm not doing to good with the protein but I'm getting better. I got the water thing down path and last I watch what I eat.

I'm doing GREAT!! down 62lbs and feeling Normal!! Minus gorging food!! What a god send this tool is!!! Mary 260/198*/ 150??

My surgery date was June 17 and am down 133 lbs. Started at 429. Weight loss has slowed way down and have only lost 6lbs in the last 3 weeks. getting a little discouraged but love the changes in my life. I couldn't vaccuum my house before and now I am moving furniture and shopping without a scooter. It's awesome.

I am doing great and feel really good. I am down 54 pounds and can tell a difference in my clothes every day. My energy level is good and I'm not out of breath all the time. I can bend over and pick things up from the floor without feeling like everything is squeezing the life out of me. This is the best thing I have ever done for myself and have absolutely no regrets.

surgery was June 16, and I am 74 lbs lighter, and down about 5 sizes....... not excersing like I should, but I am eating better!

I am doing good. Just on a plateau going on 3 weeks. I started out at 293. Today I am 226, so I have lost 67lbs. But in the last couple weeks have only lost 1 pound. But is okay, (FOR NOW : ) I can eat about anything...pork is the only meat I can't tolerate. I haven't had any major bouts of being sick...just in the beginning when I ate too fast or didn't chew my meat well enough. I went from a 24/26 to a 16 in tops and pants. Bra went from a 46DDD to a 40DD I exercise 3-4 times a week and get in at least 64 oz of water but try for about 90 each day. Protien is still a battle, some days good, some not. And oh yes, my hair has started to fall out. But I am so excited with the prospect of being under 200....who cares. Worse part has been finding a birth control I can live with. I got The Shot in August and properly have been on my period for 5 of the 9 weeks I have been on it. If anyone has any suggestions let me know. Best Wishes LAP RNY 6/2/04 293/226/175?

Hi all. I wish I would have such good responses as everyone else. I did my surgery June 11 (lap band) and am not at all happy with the results. I am not losing much and its bothering me a great deal. I feel like a loser. I wonder what i am doing wrong.... I had three tightenings (total of 3cc) I cant eat meat, chicken or fish, my food choices are very limited because i choke very easily. I need lots of ideas and support. Can anyone here help me? thanks!!!

My Surgery was June 11, 2004 and I have lost 71 pounds since then. My high summer of 2003' was 272 so I am down 127 since then. I got the Flu about a week ago and it hit much harder than it ever has before. Little body, little immune system? All in all, I'm happy. Hannah 272 highest/ 216/145/110?
