8/16 - 15 week check in!
Hi everyone! I hope everyone had a fantastic Thanksgiving! Mine was great, although Turkey free. That is one food that makes me sick. We had Thanksgiving at my in-laws on Wed. night, and then Thanksgiving day with my family. Everyone made a big stink over my weight. That made me feel really great! As of this morning I am down 72.6 lbs. First time in my life that I haven't started to gain weight because of Holiday time! How is everyone else doing?

Hi Judy,
Congrats on your loss so far. You are doing great. This is my first holiday without a weight gain also. Isn't it awesome!!

WOW, as I typed my above stats I realized I now have less than a hundred pounds to lose. I am in shock!!!
Hi Judy,
I really feel as though I ate like a pig this holiday. (of course I didn't but it sure felt like it) Anyway I am now down 68.8 lbs and feeling great although I did notice a little more hair loss in the shower last night so will have to increase the protein a bit I think. Congratulations on your success. You are doing great!

Everyone is doing so well! I finally broke my little stall and weighed 179 at the doctor's today. I too didn't gain during the holiday and was really proud of myself for not allowing the food to get in the way of celebrating with my family and friends.
I had my "3 month" check up today and my doctor said he was surprised at how well I am doing. Since I didn't have as much weight as most to lose and because I had lost so much pre-op he had expected my weight loss to slow down more than it has. At this point I've lost 65% of my excess weight. It cracked me up because he was asking me if I was eating enough or if I was throwing up too much. After being assured I was (and wasn't) he said I am doing great.
Also, I was approached by one of the publicity ladies at the hospital. She asked if I would be willing to do some interviews and a photo shoot for publicity for the WLS program at the hospital. I was absolutely floored! Of course I said yes! SO I had a pretty good day, although hobbling around on crutches is exhausting!
You all take care and I can't wait to see how everyone is doing next week!
Aimée
