Almost 8 Weeks out

Hi Everyone... I just wanted to send out a quick update... On monday I will be 8 weeks post op and I am down 41 pounds... I am jogging/walking 3-5 miles a day and I can eat just about anything. I still have issues getting all of my protein in but I usually get about 50 or so a day.... I HATE HATE HATE protein shakes so I have to get all my protein thru food... I am thrilled with my weightloss and cross my fingers, it doesn't look like I will have any excess skin issues... Hope everyone else is doing well! Keep up the good work!

Hi There, I will be 9 weeks out on Monday. I had my surgery on August 1/2005 and I am down 54 lbs. I walk about 2 miles a day and I can also eat just about everything. I really have to watch it though cause I can also eat some bad things !!!! I also have some issues getting all of my protein in. I have come to learn that I have to take at least 45 minutes to an hour to eat and then I can tolerate just about anything. It is sort of an inconvenience to eat if you know what I mean. I don't think that I have any skin issues either yet !!!!! I am still pretty young though..... Take care and good luck in the future. "Ain't life grand " !!!! Kelly Dame
