Topic: 105 pounds lost before Thanks Giving
I had open RNY surgery on July 15th by Dr. Isbell. I've lost 105 pounds before Thanks Giving. I'm not weighing myself again until a week after Thanks Giving! LOL I wanted to thank the ones that have helped me with cloths on the clothing exchange. I would be naked without their help. 
If anyone has cloths that they can't use anymore, please list them on the clothing exchange. I know what a blessing this has been to me. I hope everyone else is doing well. I feel better all the time and have so much energy now. Keep up the good work everyone. Hope to be "lighter" next time I post. Barbara

Topic: RE: 94 lbs down since July 8th, 2003 - Milk question
Hey Kendra, I was talking to my friend who is a spokesperson for weigh****chers and she does all the nutritional information and she told me that natural calcium(milk,cheese) burns fat faster than exercising. She is very supportive of my surgery and helps me by giving me advice on what to eat. She has lost 60 lbs and maintained for a couple of years. She has a few clients that have had the surgery so i feel she is a great wealth of info. So, i had a bowl of cheerios with 1% milk(cant stomach skim) and some splenda. It was fabulous. I also have been drinking soy milk. Its Silk Milk chocolate flavored and I love it. It's like a treat. I am sooo jealous you are down 94, I had surgery on 8-9 and am down 77. Congrats. Best of luck to you. Amy
Topic: RE: The struggle over meat...
Hello Mary! Most meats do not cause me any problems. The only thing I've had problems with are fried chicken. I don't know if it';s the skin, or the oil. I can eat chicken otehrwise. As for your worries about protein... Go to your local GNC. They have a product called Isopure. (The grape is the best flavor they carry.) The first time or two you try it, you might not like the after taste, but trust me, it gets better, and what's best is that a 20 oz bottle is 40 grams of whey protein. I drink close to 2 bottles a day and it has slowed my hair loss, and am doing great. Good luck! ~Cyndi
Topic: RE: Breast ! When do they go?
I had surgery 7-14-03 and I've lost 76 lbs so far, but NONE of it has been in my boobs! I'm like you, I wish they would hurry up and go away. I started out in a 44DD and I'm now in a 42DD. I would be happy if I could just get to a D.

Topic: RE: Yay!
I am also in your group. My surgery was on 7/30/03 and I am now down to 179 pounds from 252. I cannot believe how this is going so wonderfully. It is definately work but not like the old dieting. I applaud all of us!
