Topic: RE: December 03 Roll Call
I my name is Sharon. My surgery was Oct 7th (what a wonderful day). I have lost 48 lbs. I am doing very well. At times I do have dumpning spells. I am unable to do the protein shakes. They are just plain nasty. I try to get my protein in by eating high protein. Good luck to you all and Merry Christmas.

Hi everyone.... I am almost 2 months out and down 31 pounds. While the weight loss is not as great as some of you I have to admit I am so happy with the inches loss. Can you believe 5 inches in my rear end.....yahooo!!! I have hit a plateau, like many and have not seen the scale move in a couple of weeks, so hopefully soon. I seem to eat more these days, but still only at 5-600 calories. What a change from pre-op! I use Fitday to track everything and it has been a blessing. The one bad thing is it looks like I do not dump on sugar. I will have to very careful 
. How is everyones hair so far. I am getting the protein in and taking biotin so hopefully the hair loss when it happens will not be too bad. Hope everyone has a happy holiday! Debbie

Hello everyone. Glad to see you all are doing well. I have lost 37.5lbs since surgery. Still find myself eating too fast and paying for it, but doing a little bit better. Still having problems getting protein and water in. Haven't had any blood work done yet. Maybe get that done Monday of next week. Well everyone keep up the good work. And Happy Holidays.

Tanya, Thanks for the roll call. I love to see where all of us October Alumni are down to. I am 2.5 months out and have been more than blessed. I weighed myself at my friends house on my birthday, 12/6 and I was at 235. My loss since surgery is 50lbs and 30lbs prior to surgery so a grand total of 80lbs. What an birthday and Christmas gift WLS has been for me. I still have to tell myself to slow down when I eat otherwise my pouch hurts big time. I exercise 5 days a week, 45 minutes on a pre-corp machine and 3.4 miles walking. Oh, let me not forget to mention I have been off all my diabetes medicine since the beginning of Dec. That has been the best goal of all. I wish you all the best on your weight loss journey. Have a Blessed Christmas and New Years.

Well everyone it is that time again. I thought I would kick off another Roll Call. I thought we could update each other monthly.
Well I have now lost 39 pounds! I was on a lovely 4 1/2 week plateau but low and behold I have finally started to see some progress. I will be officially two months on Dec 24th. I still have food porblems but they are getting better. I still have to make a concious effort to get the water in...oh wait I gotta take a drink...swallow...but that has always been a prob with me (unless it was Pepsi or Coke!). I am getting pleanty of protein in per my doc. I got the results of bloodwork on the 3rd and am doing about adverage, little low in protein, low in iron, and dehydriated. All not too bad though.
Alright everyone, lets hear your progress, struggles, and accomplishments!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all

Topic: It has been 2 months...
It has been 2 months since surgery. I feel great. I am walking almost every day. I do chase a 22 month old grandson daily. I get out to swim once a week. I have lost 42 pounds. That added to the 25 I lost before surgery makes a total of 67!!!
One thing that has surprised me is the inconsistency of clothing sizes. I can't hook the 24 jeans I have, but the 18's are just perfect.
I have had no trouble with any food. I have been out to several holiday parties, so have been exposed to making choices. So far so good
