Not much happening here. My progress is slow. But I'm still pushing on. Surgery day: 258.5# Today: 197# thats up 2# goal: 126# Barbara

I am jealous! I am 5.5 months today and only down 60 pounds. I started at 278.

Howdy Neighbor, I've lost over a 100 pounds and feel great. I am so fortunate that I was able to do this surgery. I also love the protein drinks and actually miss them if I don't take them. I now fit in a smaller size wrangler jean(38) than I did in high school(40)~how cool is that! Craigerzz

Hey October folks. It's that time again. Let's give ourselves a big pat on the back. Whether you have lost 10#'s or 100#'s, YOU ROCK! If you want, let's do our monthly roll call. I thought this time besides the stats, what do you think has helped you lose weight? What issues are you having? What are you doing that might help others? Or just tell us what you are feeling. Surgery: Oct 11 Weight then: 334 Weight now: 227 Loss: -107 I think that I have been successful because I have followed my surgeons instructions to a "T". I still weigh and measure my food, never taking in more than 4 -6 oz in a meal. I do not eat red meat or chicken, by choice. I love fruits and vegis and they love me! I have not conciously eaten processed sugar. I still go through my closets every 2 weeks and get rid of everything that is too big. I am enjoying the gym now even tho my trainer is a real hard a$$ but it is working and I feel the best I can ever remember feeling. I even take stairs now instead of elevators. I never thought I would ever get to that point. I feel truly blessed to have had this surgery. Now let's hear how you are doing. Sheryl
