March 04 Roll Call

Hello my Oct brothers and sisters, I can say this month brought me no weight loss because I could not work out with my broken ancle but I am back to the gym and happy as a clam! I am down 74 pounds and down 8 pant sizes so I guess I have nothing to complain about!!!! How is every else doing? Tanya T

Hi Tanya, Glad to hear that you are healing and doing better. I just weighed in today and lost another 9 lbs since last month weigh in. I have gone from a size 26-28 to a 14. I am so amazed. I have added a jog/walk to my exercise routine. I can't believe I can jog now. I am so thankful for WLS. I look forward to all the blessings that come from it. Many blessings to all my October siblings

Congatulations. I had a broken ankle in 1996 ouch. Glad you are better. My weight loss has been 40+ pounds. I am down 5 pant sizes and getting into Misses sizes. How is every else doing?

Hey everyone! Last week my hair finally started falling out. It's not very rapid and it COULD just be the warm weather but I doubt it. So that's kind of a bummer. So far I've lost 92 pounds and gone from a size 28 to 16/18. I just accepted a job out in Oregon and will be moving there in June! I am also going on a 7-day cruise in the S Carribean with my boyfriend and having a BLAST buying size 16/XL clothes in the regular stores!! I'm so happy to be able to shop in the regular stores again because the clothes are way cuter. I haven't been this small since I was 18! I still can only eat 1-2oz at a time but can drink water more water (only waiting an hour after eating still). Meat is still iffy, so it's fish, cheese and soy for me! I DID discover that I can eat very small amounts of chocolate and not be affected. It's nice for a rare treat but now it tastes way too sweet and overpowering. Give me some cottage cheese and a piece of melba toast anyday! I hope everyone is doing well, spring is on it's way!! I can't wait to wear shorts out in the warm sunshine! Time to go shopping soon!!!! Amy 349/257/190ish???

Weight loss as been steady, hair loss minimal (but noticeable for me). Currently down 110lbs. I have been able to touch my toes, something I haven't done since grade school. I have gone from a size 5x to 2x shirt and size 50 waist to a size 40. Looking forward to Spring, winter blast in the Northeast ha**** us hard. Bill

Hi October pals, I have lost 79 lbs. so far, but I think the last pound was in hair that has fallen out.

Hi Tanya, My surgery was 10/02. I have lost 64 lbs and 42 inches. I have started walking on the treadmill everyday at the gym at lunch. I feel great and haven't really had any problems, just gas sometimes. You have done great! 8 pant sizes!! WOW. You should be so proud. I bet you look great. I have only gone down from a 20 to 14. I know I am happier that I have been in a very long time. Jan R

Hello all October friends- I am down 74 lbs since surgery and a total of 83 from my highest weight now. I am so pleased. I have gone from a size 26-28 to a 16, sometimes a 14 depending on how it is made. I am feeling wonderful. Saw my sisters for the first time since I had surgery this past week-end. The look on their faces were priceless! Everyone has been soooooooo supportive. Candy Lap RNY 10/7/03
