Good Morning Everyone! I hope you all are doing well! well the June surgeries are done and the end of the month surgeries are are well on the way to recovery so I thought we could do a roll call for everyone to sign in and give their progress to date,keep cool any way you can! be sure to keep yourself hydrated!!!with heat like this it does not take much! (((hugs))) Nancy surgery 6-8-06 down 54 pounds~ GONE 4-EVER!!! Size 30/32 day of surgey~currently size 22! woweeeeeee!!! "Life is not measured by the amount of breaths we take,but by the moments that take our breath away"

It has been super hot here in NC!!! I have been spending a lot of time at the pool and have myself quite a good tan!!! I have to go early in the morning (around 11) otherwise it is just way to hot for me!!! I am one month out tomorrow - cant believe 4 weeks have passed already! Everything has been wonderful - got food stuck once and ate too quick another time but thats been my *only* two issues so far!!! As of today 28lbs lost!!!! 74lbs more to go till goal!!!

Even hotter in LA (lower alabama) here!!! Was wonderin' when I could get back in the pool!!! My doc used glue and all of it hasn't come off yet??? But, I had surgery the 28th and I'm down about 28 as of last weigh in. Was wearin' 26/28 ++ and I'm comfortably wearing them now!!! I can't stand tight clothes or otherwise I would probably be in some 22/24's!!! Anyway, I'm still lovin' life now!!! Magina

I've lost 30 pounds. I used to have to push the driver's seat in my car all the way back. I've moved it up a few notches. What a great feeling!! In my shirts, I was a tight 26/28 and now my shirts are loose and fit great. In my pants I was a 28 and now in a 24. I have about a 120 pounds to go. Yip-pee!

Well after reading about your heat and swimming I must tell you I am sitting here with a wood fire going and a blanket over my legs! It's cold and windy here in Tasmania. I am down 25lbs and 11" gone I was to start at the gym yesterday but have been sick with the flu since Saturday. Except for my long term goal weight I dont have any short term weight goals. I have been concentrating on 'head' goals. It's always been my head that has done me in! Well done everyone

Well I had my first big smile over the weekend. As I packed up the kiddies to take them to the pool yesterday I thought I'd give my seatbelt a try. I haven't been able to wear it for a couple of years. Not anymore though. Sucker clicked right in like it was supposed to! I'm so thrilled I can't even stand it. My last weigh in was at my 2 week and I was down 29. I'll weigh in again on Friday for my one month check up.

It is a scorcher here in NC!! I went to the gym and worked out this morning, then took the kids to the pool for a few hours! My surgery date was 6/5 and I have lost 43 lbs and gone from 26's to 18-20 (depending on the clothes)!!! I realized the other night in the bed that I could roll over without having to sit up first!!! Yahoo!!! Keep it up everyone! Susan

6 weeks out today. It is my first day back at work. I am wearing a size 18W-20W t-shirt. Down from a 26W-28W. I got lots of nice compliments and tons of questions about my surgery. I have lost 31lbs since surgery and 61lbs total since I started my 6mo class at Kaiser last November. I threw up for the first time yesterday. I think it was the scrambled eggs. Yuck. I have not dumped yet. I am finding that I can eat red meat but not poultry. I tried deli turkey and felt so sick. Same with chicken. But I can eat beef jerky, hot dogs and steak no problem. How strange is that? I have found I like the chocolate Unjury protein powder. It tastes like chocolate milk. I have been fairly consistant doing my walking but will be much better now that I am back at work and will be on a schedule. Glad to see everyone is doing good. Michelle in SoCal

Hi Nancy wow that is an awesome job on the weight loss I am down 24 lbs and 7 1/2 inches. I am walking/running 2 1/2 to 3 miles on the treadmill and my clothes are baggy.

It was HOT here in Bama today! I dropped my lighter on the pavement and had to get on my knees to get it (under the car) and OMG! I burned my knees! I'm down 30-32. It fluctuates. I'm a slave to the scale I need to do a LOT more exercise. Congrats to everyone!!
