I'm thrilled with my progress so far! As of now, I'm 4 1/2 months post op. I have lost 105 pounds and 62 inches so far. This is great progress for such an early stage in the game. I do still need to lose between 120 and 140 pounds to put me in the zone where I'd like to start maintaining.... So, cross your fingers for me that the loss rate doesn't slow down too soon!! Hugs, Lea in WV

That's great Lea! I've lost 90 lbs since 8/30 and haven't kept track of the inches but I have 60 lbs to go to my goal so I'm 3/5 done already. My hair is falling out in handfuls, but I figure that makes me weigh even less! lol Keep up the good work Jane

I wish I could say I was still losing at the same rate! I'm now down 112 pounds, but have not lost anything in about 2 weeks. I've increased my calories as I was having several days in the 600 to 900 range and I usually do better in the 1000 to 1300 range. My Nut says to try to stay under 1200 until you reach goal and enter the maintenance phase, so I do try to do that. I've also tried to increase my liquid intake to 80 oz per day instead of just 64. And, for some reason, I find that I get constipated and don't lose as well when taking my vitamins regularly! So, I'll have to talk to someone about that! I'm taking 6 to 7 colace a day right now to get myself regular again. Then I'll go back to the 3 a day I had been taking... SO, at almost 5 months out, i am down 112 and I don't know how many inches... I need to measure again! BUT, I tried on a pair of size 24 pants today and I was able to get them buttoned and zipped even though they were too snug to be comfy! Woohoo!! I had been wearing Roaman's size 4X which they say is a 34/36! That is a bigger drop in sizes than I'd realized!! Hugs, Lea 410/298/175ish
