OCTOBER ROLL CALL

Surgery: Oct 18 Starting weight: 304 Today's weight: 193 LOST: 111 My life has changed drastically since the surgery. I am full of energy and with the exception of sweets and sweet soy products I can tolerate all foods. I am sometimes afraid that I eat too much but I am very active and I appear to have lost the average amount of pounds for a person 6 1/2 months out Greetings from Iceland Kolla

I am still staying away from the sweets, breads and rice. I am going to Bahamas at the end of the month. I can't wait to strut my stuff on the beach wearing a size 14 swim suit. Surgery: Oct 13 Starting weight: 284 Today's weight: 194 LOST: 90

My surgery date was 10-26. I AM ALSO A SLOW LOSER!! It gets frustrating sometimes, but hey, it is coming off SLOWLY but surely. I WILL make it to goal. As of today I have lost 70 pounds. started at 281 today 211 Rhonda

HI EVERYONE!!! WOW, everyone is doing SO good...I'm kinda really discouraged as I read everyone's posts!! I think I probably should be doing better than I am!!! I know everyone loses differently, but man....I'm kinda stressin' now!! Oh well, here are my stats...maybe it looks better on paper than in my head??? Surgery Date 10/19/04 Weight = 299 Today's Weight = 203 Total loss of 96 lbs. Tatum I too can eat anything I want...I don't dump and I rarely have any problems!! I'm not a huge fan of protien and I know I don't get enough in....but...all in all, everything is great!! I'm still losing 2-4 lbs. a week so that's good!

Tatum, You are doing great!!! I feel the same way that you are feeling about my weight loss. I know that everyone loses at different rates but from the beginning i was doing awesome and now I am pretty much at a stand still. But oh well...Here are my stats: Date of Surgery: October 12, 2004 Begininng Weight: 450lbs. Current Weight: 333lbs. (based on my scale this morning) Total Weight loss:-117 I feel as though I am eating too much but I wrote down all that I ate today and I am around 750 calories and 65.5 grams of protein. I can eat almost anything with the exception of milk and eggs. I had a protein shake with milk in it the other day and thought I was going to bring up my stomach as I vomitted. But anyway, good luck to you all and Congrats!!! Erica

I think you are doing great!!!!!!!!!! SMILES JEN

Tatum, You are doing super!!!!

I am a slow loser too...but am upping my exercise to one hour per day, per my surgeons orders So I joined Curves today and will still do my water aerobics as well. Surgery: October 25th Starting Weight: 366.5 Today's Weight: 283 Lost: 83.5 I can just about it anything...still struggling getting all meals in a day (my surgeon wants 5-6 meals per day). I am for sure getting my water in though....

Hi there hi deb i didnt fall off the end of the earth just moved and i up to my eye teeth in renovations and boxes and just set up my puter tonight sooo here we go for roll call 6 months already sheesh time flies doesnt it ok surgery date oct 21st pre surgery weight 285 height 5 10 a little under not much thought now 183 I MADE THE CENTURY CLUB sometime during the renovation and moving this couple of weeks eating i have been surviving on coffee sorry to say i know its not good for me but hey its better than nothing well ...maybe not. I too can eat anything now. Although if i eat too much carbs i get the nautious need to lie down no energy thing. Ive not vomited yet though or anything like that i just get extremly lazy and blah for 30 to 45 minutes then im fine. That happens when i eat too much too fast or too much sugar....im guessing this is dumping. I fit into a size 12 now comfortably...imagine that i kept an old pair of pants and did the two legs in one leg thing ...is it just me or are there others that are thinking DAMN i used to be THAT big.... anyways thats it for this post kindest regards and hugs deb

I had been feeling like a slow loser but I've been eating GREAT, Taking all my Vitamin (which I wasn't doing for a LONG time), getting all my water in a day (or most days) and I am doing a Training program to run a 5K 4 days a week. So I think I'm kickin' botty! Surgery: Oct 18 Started: 282 Today: 209 LOST: 73
