Topic: RE: hi everyone- i am now six...
Hi Karen. I had surgery the same day as you! I'm down 106 pounds today. Isn't it great?? I'm so happy for you! How much more do you want to lose? Mine is slowing down to 1-2 pounds a week, but I pretty much eat anything, just small amounts. How about you?
Take care!

DI~ Topic: I have never felt like this before.
When I got my driver's license I weighted 285, last week I weighted 183. I am wearing a size 16 and have already bought some 14's. I bought a short skirt in 14. I look 10 years younger, but that isn't the best part.
the best part is I am no longer considered a diabetic. I was running around 225 a day, was taking at least 8 pills a day. I went back to my regular DR. and walked up to her and asked why she didn't speak to me.She screamed and called out all the nurses and each one of them hugged me, the receptionist didn't want to embrass me by telling me she didn't realize at first who I was until I signed my name. Anyone *****ads this, please tell everyone they know who is diabetic and needs this surgery, what a diference it will make.

Topic: RE: 6 MONTHS OUT AND COULN'T BE HAPPIER
WOW, congratulations! 
Today marks my 6 month anniversary and I'm down 75 lbs. My skin is shrinking up nicely and I attribute that to a slower loss. My surgeon commented this week that my top incision is now in my ribcage which I hadn't even noticed until she told me. I don't snore, my BP is normal and I don't take Advil all day for the arthritis pain in my knees like before surgery. It's been an incredible Journey thus far and the "Future's so bright, I gotta wear shades".... hehehe.

Be careful with drinking the soda, I was told by my dr. that carbination stretches the stomach!
Doesn't it feel nice to wear "normal" clothes!! I enjoy shoping for clothes and actually getting what I like rather then what fits!
