First Post on Oct Message Board

Surgery Date: Oct 25, 2004 Beginning Weight: 361 Weight Now: 311 I plan to celebrate when I go under 300 lbs. I am still struggling with eating. Soup is what my tummy loves. Thank God my favorite soups are bean soups (lots of protein). I'm glad to read many of your postings to know that I am not alone in what I am experiencing with different foods. Thanks for sharing. Ruth Kelly

Hello Ruth, Congratulations on the 50# loss. Awsome job. And you aren't 3 months out until the 25th. Almost celebration time!! I will be three months out tomorrow and have lost 41#. I seem to be one of the slower losers. But at least its going down and not up, LOL. Welcome to the board, Barbara
