After reading the earlier post about weightloss...

I had my surgery on 8-30-05 and have lost 22lbs in 22days!! That is great in my eyes. A little slow for most of you pro loosers out there but is good enough for me. I quit loosing about 5 days ago even gained about 2 lbs. But today is the day it is comming back off. I quit weighing my self for a few days then today it is back to being a Big Looser!!

Oh yeah, forgot to tell you where I started... 281 pre-op 254 current Lori

GREAT!!! What a bunch of "losers" we all are!!! We should do a weekly post like this. Anyone game? Lori

Congrats everyone!!! My surg date was 8/23/05 and as of 9/19/05 I have lost a total of 25lbs....Keep up the good work everyone..... Timeka in Maryland

Awesome! Lori

When I started the process in July I was 327 preop I was 311 surgery on August 9 appt. yesterday I was 269! so since July I've lost 58 pounds, since surgery 42! I have left my oxygen at home for the last 2 weeks and only wear it at night! I was able to mow my lawn last week. I am so excited about all the benefits I have been getting! Mary

Right on!!! Lori

Hello all, I had my surgery on the 23 of August. I weighed 238 and at now I weigh 209. I am down 29 lbs. I am wearing my "skinny" pants, size 16. I just ignore my mushroom belly hanging over the top. In my mind I look good.

That is funny that you call it a mushroom belly! I thought the same thing when I looked in the mirror last night... It is changing shape but it feels so much smaller! Congrats on the weightloss so far! You are cruisin baby! Lori
