It is Roll time again Feb 04

Hi all, Roll call once again. I am down 68 pounds. I only have food problems when I eat wrong. Up till Saturday I was exercising 6 days a week but after breaking my ancle I have to find a new way to exercise. Any ideas??? Tanya 325/257/150

Hi all of my October siblings, I hope you are all doing well and enjoying your journey. I have been blessed!!! I weighed in yesterday and have reached the century club -100 lbs total (30 lbs prior to surgery and 70 lbs post surgery). I still don't believe it. I am so thankful for this surgery. My health has never been better. I wish my hair would stop falling out though, it's getting scary on that front. I finally feel my energy levels rising. I was thinking I was going to drag for a while, but sure enough the last week I stopped taking those power naps in the afternoon. Many blessings of success to all of you!!!

Congratulations on your success! You are doing so great! I noticed that you live in Hollister, CA. I just talked to my best friend today, and coincidentially she lives in Hollister. I've visited several times. I like the sleepy, small town feel of it! Again, congratulations of your success! Charlene Open RNY 10/30/2003 -90 lbs (15 before surgery/75 since)

I'm down 58 pounds. I have slacked off on my exercise because I started college classes in the evenings. Somewhere I need to work it in. I feel great and most food agrees with me unless I eat it too fast. I am very happy I had this surgery. Karen

Hello everyone, Tonya, congratulations on such success with your weight loss! I have lost a total of 61 pounds and I feel great as well. It's so good to hear that everyone is doing really well. Keep up the good work! Cherry 276/215

As of this morning I'm down 77 pounds (349/272/180) and things are amazing. I started at size 26/28 and just bought my first pair of size 18's yesterday! They're tight, but i'll give them another couple weeks and they should be fine. My self-confidence is amazing. I got a promotion at work and am looking at transfering out to Oregon for yet another promotion. I have a great new relationship that I am really enjoying with a wonderful man. Things are just really good! I still can't eat very much. 2 oz tops. I can kinda tolerate some beef but mainly I stick to fish, cheese and protein supplements. I find myself getting hungry but that usually goes away after drinking some water or eating a snack/meal. No hair falling out yet (thank god) For exercise do you have access to a pool? Also what about an eliptical machine? that has no jarring and very little impact on your joints so should help you ankle. Good luck!!!!! Amy

Hi all glad to hear everone is doing so well. I'm down 60lbs so far want to lose 40 more. Have not had any problems so far at 3 months out. I wish everone the best

Hi everyone! I am down 46 pounds and very happy with the loss. I actually am under 200 which I am estatic about and closing on 190. I joined curves this week and hope to finally get in a good exercise program. I have only been able to walk up to this point. My boss informed me the other day that I was shrinking... mainly because I have to keep taking up my pants length.. I have worn a couple of pants that actually dragged on the floor-- even with heels on. The other thing I have noticed is I have lost weight in my feet and am now walking out of my shoes....a strange place to lose weight. I also had to get ring guards for my rings because they are slipping off..... Its been a great month! No hair loss to date and I am still taking the biotin and making sure I get my protein in. Congragulations to everyone on thier progress!

Hi Everyone... I am new to this board and I'm very excited I found you all! I had my surgery done on October 2, 2003 and am down 98lbs already. I had some problems in the beginning with a wound infection and now I have a hernia I am having surgery on March 9 but other than that I feel great. I am just 5 lbs shy of being under 200 lbs and that feels incredible. I am going to celebrate like it was 1999! (LOL) when that happens. I don't remember being under 200lbs. I wanted to comment that I too have lost weight in my feet, I'm down a 1/2 size! Didn't realize that I would lose weight there but it makes sense. I look forward to talking with you all.

Hi, Congrats to all! Isn't this a wonderful feeling? I am on the ride of my life. I have lost 72 pounds, and feel great. The only time I get sick is when I eat too fast, or too much. My 3 month bloodwork came back with all levels being fine, and the only health complaint I have is my hair falling out. It can stop just anytime now!! Oh well, the compliments are really starting to come, so it's a trade-off. Stacy McClain 310/238/150 open RNY 10-1-03
