lately i've been eating differently, normal foods but in small amounts which means i'm eating more carbs and stuff. and the weight is just pouring off! i've gone from 408 to 280, from a size 64 to a size 50 and from a 4X to an XL. it's CRAZY. I collected clothes from other people who had WLS first and now i'm running out of smaller sizes! I don't have anything left, when i shrink a little more i have to go shopping!!!!! This is all happening so fast. I can't believe it's only been 5 months. holy moly. now i just have to do something about my B-12. Still deficient even after getting shots every week. now i'm taking sublinguals AND have to get the shots. I guess it's worth it though, i feel great, i'm looking way better and i'm having fun. here's a pic from a week ago in Florida before we left for Michigan. We were waiting for our table at PF Changs. I had half a spring roll, some marinated eggplant and some beef with orange peel. I didn't get sick and it busted my stall!! http://users.adelphia.net/~bwatts8961/pfchang.jpg

Hi Jay, I'm blowing through clothes too. I had some "reserves" from when I was a smaller size, but I finally had to go buy all new clothes. New pants, new tops, new "underthings" the whole shabang! Now that my clothes actually fit me, I have been getting noticed. I had a lady from church come to a screeching halt in her car when she saw me walking my son home from school the other day. She showered me with compliments. It was so nice to hear. You gentlemen sure do lose fast though!! 128 lbs is absolutely fantastic!! It almost seems impossible doesn't it? When I think of how hard it was to lose weight on will-power alone and seeing almost no weight loss, I am blown away with these huge numbers we are all seeing. I have heard that the B-12 deficiency will subside when your weight loss slows down. I hope that is true. Thanksgiving broke my stall. I hadn't lost for three weeks and then Thanksgiving came along and I said "To hell with the diet, I'm going to eat what I want!" I started losing the very next day. Phew!!! Good luck to you, although it sounds like you don't need any!! Stop by again and post often, ~C Leigh

Jay, It's me C Leigh again. Hey, new picture! Lookin' good! I didn't realize that was you! I thought it was a newbie to this forum. ~Sorry! ~C Leigh

yup that's me and Mel ("hockey hottie" on the OH forums.) thanks for the compliments.
