Surgery Date: October 15th Weight Then: 313 lbs Weight Now: 245 lbs Weight Lost: -68 lbs It sure is encouraging to see how everyone is doing and to realize that even though our weight losses vary so much, we are still all going down quickly. Like my doctor told me when I showed disappointment because I had only lost 60 lbs at 4 months out.... "Have you EVER lost 1/2 pound a day in your life?" That comment gave me a new perspective and helped me to not be disappointed in myself. God Bless!

Topic: RE: Qestion about eggs????:-s
How interesting. I thought I was the only one who couldn't tolerate eggs. Scrambled, that is. In fact I got sick 3 times on them before I decided to stop eating them. I can eat fried and boiled, just not scrambled. I can tolerate a couple bites, but that's it... I wonder what it is about them that does this??!!

Topic: Headaches?
Anyone else having headaches? They almost feel like muscle tension headaches and come out of nowhere. The first one lasted almost 2 weeks, off and on every day. I have tried to isolate what might be causing them but I cannot seem to put my finger on the trigger. I had all my labs done a couple of weeks ago and everything was fine. The doc has me on Darvocet when needed. Anyone else? Anyone know what might cause them? Thanks Sheryl

Topic: RE: getting disappointed....
Hey Rhonda...(and fellow Dr. Rod patient)....does PCOS cause slow weight loss? I have often wondered if I have this...I have not been to the gyno in so darn long (I know..don't yell at me ).... I am too a slow loser and feel frustrated at times. I am down 65 pounds and should be happy but just want it to go so much faster. I have noticed that I am eating too many carbs again and am going to commit to cutting down them next week. I am finally up to my 64 oz of water a day but think I am going to up that even more. I started exercising and then went on vacation so I need to up that too. Finally, I need to measure myself for the month as I am sure I am losing inches too. Let's all continue to encourage one another...I know we can do this.... Take care, Ann

Hi Everyone First off, Congradulations to all, everyone is doing so well! I had my surgery on October 18, weighed in that day at 301 and now weigh 228, 73 pounds gone and feeling great! I have gone from a size 26/28 to an 18. I can even wear some 16's which blows my mind I really have not had any complications until just recently, I have been experiencing headaches but I believe that is from a lack of fluids. I eat a lot of fruit, pineapple is just about the only thing I crave though. I do not miss soda at all which I think is awesome because I use to drink at least 3 sodas a day. I really have not started an exercise regimen which I need to do because I am starting to have some sagging skin in the arms and tummy. Overall I am thrilled with my weight loss and I look forward to reaching my goal by my one year anniversary date Keep up the good work everyone!!!!

Hi: Here's mine. Weight before surgery 310 Weight day of surgery 276 Current weight 204 Total Weight Loss 106 lb to date. It's been a long and intersting journey, can't believe that I am down to a size 18 from a size 26/28. Do not look like the same individual I knew. It was the best decision I have ever made even though its been hard sometimes. Still having problems getting protein and enough water intake, but will continue to strive for it every day. Best wishes everyone!
