8/16....6 week check-in

Hi all you 8/16ers! How is everybody doing? I have gone from 359 to 315.6 in the past 6 weeks, plus a bunch of inches, I never measured so I'm not really sure how many. That is a total 43.4 lbs. gone FOREVER! WOO HOO! I would have never done this on my own! How are YOU doing??? JUDY

GREAT job Judy! As of this morning I've lost 37 pounds! 8 more pounds and I'm out of the 200's! I really can't believe that! I went and bought some new pants and surprised myself, I had gone all the way down to an 18! Week 6 means solid food for me as well. I'm a little nervous about that, but I can't complain - I'm one HAPPY camper! Again, great job Judy! Aimée -37# - 73# to goal!

Fantastic Judy!!!! I just broke the 260 barrier @ 35 lbs today and am ecstatic!!! I called everyone I knew (and then some I was only acquainted with) to give them the good news. LOL

Great job guys!! I started at 231(after the hospital) and am now 191 for a loss of 40lbs!! I still cannot eat or drink anything. Good luck and congratulations! Wendy

Wendy, What do you mean you can't eat or drink anything? Sweetie, that isn't good! Please call your surgeon. You may have a stricture and it could be serious if left untreated. Hugs, Denise

Hi Judy, My 6 week check and down 43 lbs!! I feel so much better and started back to work today! I can't wait for the next 6 weeks to go by. Congratulations on your loss! Sandy

I am down 44lbs. I am right there with you Wendy. I can drink water and that is it. Haven't had anything to eat since this last Wed. I see doc everyday cause I have a open wound still. I passed out 3 times yesterday and told doc about it today and he said nothing. Go figure. I am getting in like 70 ozs of water a day. Good luck to you. Stephanie

Checking in---I have lost 34.5 lbs. I guess this makes me a slow loser.

I have lost at least 43.5 lbs. I have also went from a size 28/30 to a loose 24W. And a size 11 shoe to a size 10. My rings won't stay on my fingers. I love all the attention. My husband's friends and co-workers are wonderful EGO boosters!!!! God Bless Everyone. Cyndi
