James,
I just want to say congrats! You and I share the same surgery date, but you have lost much more than I. I am down 86 pounds and believe me, I am not complaining. I am so much happier and have much more energy and confidence. I, like you, love the fact that food is not my life anymore! I love that aspect!!!!!! I wish you continued success! Keep up th good work!

I now have more energy than I know wgat to do with. I made a life long friend in the process, he had the surgery the same day as me and we talk at least twice a week. I went from size 50 waist pants to 38 waist and love it. Fodd is now a nusence, which is strange because I always said that food was my drug of choice. Hope everyone is doing well.

Well, I guess that will teach me to read the newest posts first - I had just resonded to your earlier November post. I can't believe how much you have lost. I had surgery 7/17 and am down 86 pounds. But my weight loss has slowed down. I am so happy for you - again, keep up the good work!!!!

Barbara,
I wanted to say congrats! Your loss is wonderful! (Wow - when would someone else ever use that phrase unless it pertains to WLS). I just found this messageboard - what is wrong with me?!?!
Keep up the good work!

Just goes to show you that everyone is different regarding WLS. I had mine on July 28 of this year and have lost 70 lbs so far. My husband had his on October 29 of this year and already lost 50 lbs. But we are both able to tolerate all foods and do not get sick and we walk a lot together instead of being couch potatoes. We are so much healthier and happy especially this time of year to be finally succeeding at losing weight and keeping it off. When it's time to make New Year's resolutions we can say "hey it came true!!!--we wanted to lose weight and we did it" Happy holidays to All!!!
Topic: Made it through the holiday
I just wanted to post and say that i lost 2 lbs over the holiday. I was shocked on Friday morning when i weighed myself. I cooked for Thanksgiving here at my house for my husbands family and the turkey was just the best if i do say so myself. I always cook my turkeys upside down(at first by accident) because they are so moist. The meat just sits in the juice and wow it is moist. This year i was so worried that i wouldn't be able to handle turkey i went the extra step and added chicken broth to the turkey and it made the best turkey, broth and gravy ever. I ate a lot of turkey and just a bite of other things and then had turkey leftover later that night. I was so scared I was going to gain, but to my surprise the next day down 2 lbs and have stayed down. YEAAA to me. I analized the situation and realize that I just don't eat enough daily. And especially enough protein. So I am refocusing on the protein and adding a few more calories to my daily number and see if this keeps working. i hope you all had a great holiday too. Amy -80 lbs in 41/2 months

Way to go girlfriend! It is great to be a loser! Just think what we are going to look like a year from now. Keep up the good work. It is a good thing that I can only eat half a cup of food at a time. I know if I hadn't of had this surgery I would have definitly eaten a lot more. Keep us updated.
