~*~Roll Call*~*

Good morning! I am doing great! I have be dedhyrated several times, with NYC being so hot, going back into the hospital twice. I was having problems holding liquids and soft foods, including water, down. 1% Milk came to my recuse and helped keep me out of the dehydration clinic . I started out on 6/29 at 285 on my first weigh, 7/10, I weighed 262. I do not see the weight loss nor do I think I've lossed during my non drinking moments but it is only the beginning and I am keeping my spirits high! Thank you all for being a great support team!

A really late posting... Surgery Date 6/21 weighing in at 219, four weeks out and down 35 pounds. Have gone from a size 20 to a size 14 which is a little big. Congrats to all the June surgery babies...way to go to all. Keep up all the good work!!!!!!

Late poster...sorry My DS was June 5th. I was on the liquid diet for 2 weeks prior to surgery so I started at 450 and size 6XL. Today I was 387 and had on size 26/28. I am swimming 30 lengths 4 times a week and walking 30 minutes 3 days a week. I just saw my PT and I received strengthening tubes and I will start that this weekend. I was a slow loser in the beginning, too. I think our bodies need to adjust to all the trauma of surgery that we put them through. I haven't dumped or puked at all, but it is still hard for me to remember to eat slowly. Great job June babies!!!!

Hey Everyone, I'm a June 9ther and have lost 23 pounds so far. I have 79 pounds to go to my goal and 64 pounds to reach my surgeon's goal. Wow. Some of you guys are really losing quickly! Good for you. Sher Lo

AHHHHH_ I am jealous. My surgery date was the same as yours. I am down about 40 pounds - depending on when I weigh. My weight flux. from 263-267, go figure, but its still better than the 308 when I went to the doc. in May and my surgery weight of 303. I sometimes if I am doing everything right and if I am losing enough. I know I need to exercise more, but with the heat and my arthritis, this has been a real struggle... Congratulations on your success. Keep us informed.

hi june 5th here.....I have lost around 30 pounds....some days i eat almost nothing and others i eat around 500 calories so it is a little frustrating because i have lost this amount or more when i have been on weigh****chers or some other diet and I ate real food. the one thing that i do like is that i really don't have any cravings for any food.....i hope this continues.....congratulations to all of you

Hi everyone, Congrats on your weight losses. I had my surgery June 1. I had a rough July with lots of vomiting--turned out to be a small stricture. All is better now. I am down 63 lbs. and have gone from a 26/28 to a 20. I've really noticed improved breathing and stamina. I painted my own toenails a couple of weeks ago I still have to work on getting in enough protein and water. Currently I am getting about 30 grams, and maybe 600 calories. Lack of food options made me stray for a while. I think I am back on track. My boobs haven't shrunk enough yet, but the band size has gone down to a 38 or 40, I'm not exactly sure cause the fat lady store doesn't sell my cup size (G), so it's hard to tell exactly. Lori
