62 LBS Since August 6th

Hi Everyone! This is my first time to this message board. I would like to congratulate everyone in their weight loss. I have had so much fun losing weight since surgery. Hope everyone has had or is having as much as me. God Bless and Keep You All! sheri

Congratulations on your weight loss! I too had my surgery on Aug. 6. I have lost 60 lbs. as of today. Keep up the good work! Maria~San Antonio, TX

Good job Sheri!!! You are doing so well.. inside and out!

Hi Sheri! Congratulations!!! I also had my surgery on 8/6/03. Although I'm only down 45 lbs (I'm a slow loser and was considered a "lightweight" (yeh right!)--starting BMI 39, 210, 5ft 1in--Down to 165!) I still feel terrific mentally and my body image of myself has dramatically improved--isn't this the best? I'm really interested in the eating habits of other post-ops. I feel like I screw up in my diet (a lot), not enough protein or H2O, eating "bad" foods, and not exactly sure what kind of vitamins I'm supposed to be taking (I haven't been asked to have any labs done). Somedays I get really light headed and weak. Does anyone else feel like this? I do really well w/exercising w/the exception of the light headedness. Please e-mail me, I'd be interested in seeing what someone's eating schedule is like and as to what other post ops eat on a day to day basis; ex. what you eat, when you eat it and when you have the opportunity to get in most of your H2O (I think I might be dehydrated) Continuous Good Luck to all! Thanks in advance if anyone can reply. Trish

That's great news, congratulations. I had my WLS 8-8-03 and am down 49#.
