Amy I was glad to hear from you and from the many others *****sponded I am getting excited about being in smaller clothes and feeling so good joined curves last week and am not having any trouble there it is like a new world for me and I know also for all who have done this operation I just hope I can continue to lose more also and get this hernia fixed do you go to any of the meetings I have found them very helpful I go to the one in Ocala 2nd tuesday of the month Ruthann

I was just curious How many oz everyone from June is eating right now. Thanks Korianne 305/195/150 -110 lbs

Ruthann, I had my surgery with Overcash on June 2nd too. Small world! I am very active on the Florida board, hope you will join us over there sometime, we are very friendly and supportive. Keep up the great progress on your weightloss. Amy -139lb.

My surgery was June 3, and I started at 303 lbs. I, too am feeling really stuck right now.I have not lost for nearly a month. I just keep going up and down a lb or so. I am also shocked to find that all of a sudden I am hungry again, and can eat SOOO much more then I could early on. I know that the portions are still 1/4 of what I could eat pre surgery. But it still seems like too much after eating so little the first few months. I have lost 119 pounds so far. And I am SO happy about that. But, I do want to lose another 40 + pounds. I am praying that this is just a lull, and that I will continute to lose. As soon as the weather warms up, I plan to get moving outdoors more. Anyway, just wanted to say thanks for sharing! It makes me feel so much better to hear others are right around the same stage I am in! Hugs, Ang

in answer to some of your questions yes it was my second operation had one in 1996 or 97 lost 160 pounds gained 3/4 of it back decided to try again so have lost the 100 need to lost about 40 more pounds never got down that low last time but am looking forward to it it makes me nervous to know that I am hungry and can eat lots more than I feel I should be eating I have a friend 3 years out and when she quits eating I try to also because she still gets full real fast I had a lot of problems with this 2nd one had a stricture and didnt eat for almost 5 weeks and last 3 weeks couldnt hold down a sip of water by the time I got in the hospital I was really dehydrated and needed 10 bags of potassiam but they scoped me and I could drink 3 weeks later I was in again for the same thing 2nd time it took and I have been doing great ever since but then I want to eat to much and get the runs because of to much sugar or fat (over the 5 grams) this time I know that I really have to watch or I will be right back up there and I difenately dont want that so I hope to be able to control my eating I wish you all good luck and learn from me that you still need will power this is a jump start but we have to learn to control out eating hope to talk to you all soon Ruthann
