How much have you lost?

i had my surgery on july 1. it has been 3 months and 11 days. i have lost 57 pounds. the one thing i keep telling my self, and i hope it helps you people who are discouraged, is that there is no way on this amount of food, that i am not going to loose weight. i was 100 pounds overweight and now i am 43. that is a miracle, and i know it will continue. it may slow down but it will continue!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Dominique, I too feel the same as everyone. Just give it time and before you know it, you'll be wondering where it all went to I had my surgery July 1, 2003 and to this date I have lost 65 pounds. To me, the secret is protein protein! Drink your protein drinks faithfully. I don't quite drink mine as often as I did up until 2 weeks ago though. Only because I was loosing too fast. So now I make sure I eat foods with protein. I have gone from a size 30 in jeans to a size 24 petite. Yes ma'am, petite. I have NEVER worn anything that had petite in it....lol But I am thrilled and my life has changed so much. I am happy with life more today than I have ever been. Like I said, hang in there and make sure to get in as much as your protein you can possibly get in daily. Also, stay in touch with weight loss peeps just like us. Support is also the best medicine Good luck to you and know you have many of friends here. Take Care, Dee

I had surgery 7-25-03 and as of today I have lost 71 lbs. 280/210. I have gone from size 26/28 to 20/22. I have been wearing jeans size 20 and I have gone from a 3X to 1X. Don't get discouraged and the most important thing is DO NOT COMPARE yourself to others. Everyone is different. Keep a food and exercise journal. Drink your water. Get your protein in. Also remember that when the scale isn't moving sometimes you are still losing inches. Take care and hang in there. Paula
