OMG- unbelievable

hi Everyone, I have been visiting this oct message board for about 2 months, I am a LURKER I wanted to shout this from the mountain tops, but their are non here in nyc, so who better than this great AMOS Community- I went to the Dr.'s yesterday for my 3month check up I can not believe it< IT is like unconcievable! I Lost 67lbs in 3 months & 1week. I have had a hard time getting in Fluids, meaning that I am not being diligent in sipping, But I intend to fix that. You guy's I feel so happy/energized I am enjoying life better now than in the past few years. I am so glad to have been approved for this surgery. All the best to all of you. kat

Congratulations on being on the other side and losing. I'm like you having a hard time getting in the fluids, but keep trying. I've lost 57lbs since surgery 14 Oct 04 and have lost a total of 91lbs since I started my journey. And yes this surgery was the best thing ever!

Congratulations! Keep up the good work!!!!

Most excellent job Kat!

Way to go!! That is excellent! I, too, feel so fortunate to have been able to have this surgery and no complications. You go girl!

Congrats Kat...you are doing great......I am too not getting in my fluids...it is so hard...I try hard everyday.....I am about three weeks behind you and have lost 45 but am at a plateau.....ugh! Take Care, Ann

KAT~ keep up the good work

That's great, Kat .... keep up the good work. I had surgery 10-6 and am at 67lbs .... so I'm right there with ya. As far as getting the liquids in ... I come home from work -- grab a glass of ice water, sit in front of the tv, and sip, sip sip. I still dont get enough in ... but thats how I at least get some in. And I have alot of soup and popsicles still. I know some people have tried adding fruits to their water along with a little splenda and making like a lemonade shake-up, or something like that. Or, too, I've gotten a piece of gum (been VERY careful with it) ... chewed it for awhile, which always makes me thirsty, anyway ... then I can sip even more water. Sometimes I even sit a cup of water by my bed .. and take a few sips now and then prior to falling asleep. Good luck to ya!

Congrats Kat on a job well done. I also have a hard time with fluids. I can only get in about 40 oz a day and that's pushing it. All we can do is try our best. Good luck.

Kat! Congrat's - Keep it up........it only get's better from here right? My BEst to all!! maggie
