Hi, eveyone , I had my surgery on 9-10-03 and I am doing fine. I have lost 76LBS . I think that is pretty slow but last time I went to dr he stated I was where I should be. I do find that sometimes I think I eat to much. I can hold a cup of soup or salad. If it is starches such as rice, potatoes, pasta only a couple of bites. I still have a hard time with protein, but I think everyone does. I am curious as to how much food most of you can handle at one time. Eveyone keep up the good work.

Topic: RE: slow loser
There seem to be an awful lot of us "slow losers." I am down 62 pounds (from 320 pounds pre-op) since surgery on 9/28/03. But the rate of loss has been very uneven! About 30 of those 62 pounds came off in the first month, then it was kind of steady, but recently - I've only lost a few pounds in the past month. Why? After an honest look at my habits, I'm pretty sure that the slowdown has come from drinking with meals, which really does let you eat a lot more, and eating too many carbs and not enough protein. These two things seem to be very common stumbling blocks. Anyway, I'm going to cut out the liquids with meals, and back off on the starches and see what happens. Most importantly, I'm not going to beat myself up about "doing it wrong" - that kind of thinking is a sure road to defeat. I'm just going to stay honest with myself, make changes where I can, and keep on truckin. And God bless all of us on this exciting journey!

Hello! I had my surgery on Sept. 26, 2003 and I have lost 89 pounds. I'm hoping to reach 90 by the 27th. I hit my first plateau about 2 weeks ago but now it seems as if I have caught up! Best of luck and congratulations on the weight loss!

Thanks everyone for your great responses. I feel now that I am definitely right on track. We are all doing so well and have so much to be proud of! I weighed in this morning for my exact five-month weight. I have lost 82 pounds in five months
. I am so excited. My husband and I are going to Mexico in three weeks
and I had hoped to lose 85 pounds by then, so I think I'm well on my way. Congratulations to everyone and keep up the great work! We all have a ton to be proud of. Hugs, ~Kristy (lap rny 9/18/03 - 320/238/168)



Topic: RE: Weight loss at five months out
I am 5 months out today and also just came back from my 5 month check up so I know exactly what I weigh...277 thats down 83 pounds since 9/17. Sometimes it feels like it is coming off so slowly and then when I look at the entire number of pounds lost I feel amazed
I think all of us are doing great
and we should have they "weigh Ins" every couple months
what ya think?

Hi Kristy! It sounds like you're doing pretty well. I'm down 67 pounds so far. I've hit a few plateaus along the way, but am pleased with my progress. Although I want all the extra weight to come off **Right Now!** I am enjoying the process. It sure beats the crap out of all the diets I've been on. All two hundred thousand of them. (ok, I exaggerate --a little.)
