Thanks! You've also done a great job! A size 16 is WAY down the road for me (but at least it's on the road)! This surgery is the best! Cynthia

I had RNY micropouch surgery 07-10-2003. I have lose 70# to date and it has been almost 6 months. I am thinking that this is not fast enough, either. But, I am thankful for every pound lost. I don't weigh 282# anymore and I am on no medications at all except multi vitamins and calcium. I hardly vomit anymore and am much less tired and can fit into pants that are 3 sizes smaller than when I had surgery. I am thrilled. I will reach goal to weigh 1/2 my size, even if it takes another year. I did not put it on overnight. I have been obese all my adult life. I am so happy. Be happy and healthy. The loss will come. Be patient.

Hello Cynthia. Great job! Keep up the good work. I had my surgery 7/3/03. I have lost 92 lbs. I started at 288lbs and now I am at 196lbs. I never thought I would see a size 16 again, but I am there. I feel great, and I tend to eat chicken alot, scared of other things, but I'm doing my best. Well, take care and keep up the good work!! Lillie

If you have a Palm- or any Palm OS PDA- there is software available @ www.keyoe.com. It is called Diet & Exercise Assistant, it's for your PC and connects to your PDA when you do a hotsync. I love this and use it every day. There is no need to be online or at your computer when you use the program. I found fitday difficult because I am not always at home at mealtimes and then I have to try and remember what I had eaten earlier. Hope this helps you, or anyone who may be looking for an alternative to fitday. Have a great day! Cynthia
