Me.. My surgery was July 26th I've lost 25 lbs....I'll take it! my best, Amy

Hey ladies ! Sounds like everyone is doing great. I had surgery on July 11th and I'm down 35 pounds . I think it's just now starting to sink in that I am actually loosing weight and it's going to keep coming off . I was so afraid I would be one of the few the surgery did not work for. I'm glad to be wrong . Take care . alena

surgery date 7/1/05 starting weight 263 pounds last week 217.5 today 213.5 pounds (almost -50 lost) I'm eating too many carbs- i can eat bread- makes me a little concerned that i'm eating too many crackers or slices of toast- i should just keep it out of the house- but i have a 2 year old and a dh so- it will take will power. i basically can eat everything and anything. (eggs get stuck all the time- so i stay away from scrambled eggs- boiled eggs i can do though... walking 2-3 miles a day (sometimes 1 mile) but majority of days it's 3 miles. water intake - i need to get up - right now it's only about 4-5 cups. vitamins i do well remembering... isn't it weird- i see the -50 pounds and i think i should be doing better- but anyone else i would be like- 50 pounds- you're crazy- you're doing great!! stop being so hard on yourself I wish i could lose 50 pounds in 7 weeks.. but i feel like my will power isn't there- because i eat so many crackers etc... so i know what i need to work on.. almost 2 months out- you would think i would've lost more than 50 pounds in 2 months? uhm... jennifer

You're doing wonderful! Fifty is super! Question, how long does it take you to walk three miles? I am doing the treadmill at the ymca and walking about 3.3mph but I see that many are walking at 4.0. Do you know your speed? I wonder if I should try to go faster but it is hard. Pam

Ok...I am starting to hate these weigh ins. I think I have lost less than anyone else on the boards! However, I am trying to focus on the long term-- so I know this weight is going away! I am going to feel better and be fit! And maybe if I am a slower looser I will have less loose skin. OK here goes- My sunday weigh in... Surgery date 7/26/05 (one month in 5 days!) Post op loss 16 lbs. Linda PS I tried taking my own picture this week-- let's just say that it didn't work. I will have the hubby or kids do it for me soon.

Surgery date: 255 Today: 225 Slowed down to about -2 pounds a week, but hey, down is down, right?
