8/10 Check - In

I am doing great. I am down 79 lbs officially since my 8/10 surgery. Still not able to eat poultry. Other than that, not a thing to complain about. How is everyone else doing? Thanks, Charis 255/176/150ish

you are doing a wonderful job! yesterday was my 4 month anniversary and i have lost 96 pounds! i was hoping to hit the century club, but i'm not far from it. cant wait to see how everyone else is doing. Linda

You both have very impressive numbers! I am doing very well, but have only lost 58 pounds. Still, I am happy to see it gone forever There is nothing that I have found that I can't tolerate, but I have stayed away from sugar. Looking forward to a new year and a new me! Michelle

Hi Michelle, You and I are doing very similiar. I don't weigh in again officially until tomorrow when I see my dietician, as I only use her scale and my surgeon's (they have the same high-tech, real accurate scales) as my official weigh-ins. I did buy a scale for home use, and I will weigh myself on it in the morning so I can see how close it is to my dieticians scale. Anyway, as of 11/29 when I saw my surgeon, I had lost exactly 57 lbs since surgeon on 8/11. As of 11/29, my weight was 175 lbs...I love saying that! I am so happy with my progress. Since January 2004, I have lost 93 lbs! The scale I have at home says I have lost an additional four lbs since 11/29, putting me at 171 lbs, but we will see how accurate that is tomorrow. We are doing awesome. I don't consider us slow, hon. Maybe not as fast as some, but that's okay. It is the end result that counts. Plus, I was considered a "lightweight" (that terms cracks me up) the day of surgery, weighing in at 232 lbs. Were you a lightweight, too? Keep up the awesome work. I am hoping I hit the 160's tomorrow...I have this feeling that I am going to weigh either 169 or 170. I am so excited to find out!!! Hugs, Denise

Thanks for the encouragement. I see that you are from NH!! I grew up there (near Portsmouth). Still have lots of family in the area, so I am up that way often. Good luck with your weigh in! Michelle

well Dont feel bad Iam own-52.5 since 8/5, thats kida slow . I must say that at least I am consistant at that! i LOOSE 1-2 #PER WEEK. I could have never lost that before!!!! I am now 242# have a good one !! KIM

I am down 76 pounds since Aug. 9th. I have problems with meat sometimes if its dry or it has any fat in it. Unfortunately I can tolerate sugar although I avoid it like the plague. Only real problems I have is trying to get in the fluids everyday. Patty
