~Shel T, I have a question!

Shel, Was it you or Kelly last night on chat that said that you did researce about WLS before you had it done and it said that at 7 months out you start loosing again rapidly? If it was you could you tell me where that you found that information because I have been looking on the internet all morning and cant find it. (I'm getting anxious) thanks, Michelle

Hi Michelle, It was me , I didn't find it in any one place, I watched the boards and read alot ALOT of posts so that i could kind of be ready for what to expect once I went through with it and what better place to learn then where people have been there and done it already. If you go to the top where it says forums you can put in the dates for august 3005 or july 2005 and go to those boards and read some of the posts to see what we will be in for in the next couple months. Thats how i usualy keep track of these things, and now that my secret is out i'm not gonna look so smart anymore......lol Anyway have a great day! Hugs, Shel

I often lurk the 8-10 month surgery board. That gives me a ideal what to expect. I also start logging my food (fitday.com) when I think I am doing something wrong. Usally It makes me feel better because I think I am eating to much and I am not. Take Care Barb

Hi Michelle That's interesting about the 7 month statistic. I still don't care though as long as it keeps coming off steadily. I do find that still after all this time I have to keep track of what I eat on paper. (screen whatever ) If I don't I can't remember what I ate. Plus it automatically adds up the calories and the protien and carbs. That always is a positive input. Don't get anxious. Just keep doing it.!!! Take care, Nancy S.
