hello all! It's me Dawn Davis Lap RNY 6-10-04 I am 5'6" tall start weight was 340 and I'm 253 now for a total weight loss of 87 pounds yaaaa hooooo! my husband is sending me to Paris sort of a congratulations for almost reaching 100lbs weight loss I hope I reach this goal before my 6 month anniversary. Oh, by the way my husband is a flight attendant so we get passes to fly on the airlines. Last time we went to Paris I was so heavy I couldn't hardly walk we had to take taxi's everywhere but now I can carry my big butt around without having to take a break every 10 min. My hair is so thin I tell every one I have old lady hair now. It freaks me out to see my scalp. Everyone at the support group assure me that it will grow back----I realy hope so. I had to chane my profile name because I have a nosey sister-in-law that wants to be in my business errrrrr. well, every one congratulations and keep up the good fight for weight loss. Dawn

Hi Guys, I just checked and at last I dropped two pounds. Thank you all for the support. Looks like everybody is doing great! I think I'm techno challanged cause I don't know how to respond quickly to your messages. I just wait and get emails much later...anybody want to fill me in on how to respond quickly??? I guess it's true that we're all responding differently to this surgery. I'm still hungry...was from the beginning. I actually think I'm more obsessed with food than before. I see some of you saying you forgot to eat and I'm thinkin...only after I'm dead would I forget to eat. Everybody's volume and appetite seems to have expanded, like mine, but Ido work hard to control it. (Bad girl had popcorn last nite) However, I don't snack (except last nite) and I do work at the protien and water. I have no trouble with bread, I haven't tested the sugar thing, but I probably don't dump with that either. I can drink a protien shake in five minutes and can gulp water at will, no problem. So I guess I just don't have some of the limitations that others do and have to limit myself, but I don't have any health problems either and hopefully won't develop any. Good to see you (us) all having success. Happy Thanksgiving! Lois

Where do you buy that isopure? Jamie

I just broke a 5.5 week plateau, by doing exactly what you are doing. Don't get discouraged, it will start dropping again. Your body is just playing catch up and adjusting to the awesome pounds gone. Keep up the good work and don't get discouraged. Good luck.

Hello June Bugs! Great job on all the lost pounds. We all deserve a huge round of applause ! I had surgery on June 2nd, my weight at that time was 432 Today my weight is 314 WLS has given me back my life and rejuvenated my spirit. I am a new person inside and out. It is truly amazing! I just cant wait until I am in the 200's because I havent been there since the late 80's. This journey has been incredible for me and I cant wait for the next step. Amy -118lbs.
