Hi Diana, Thanks! Boy, that is wonderful about your jeans! Keep it up! I hope you don't mind, but I would like to rewrite your last sentence.... it should read.. I have lost 63lbs in ONLY 3 months! You sound like you are discouraged. Really think about this... 63 lbs. in 3 months... that is wonderful! Try not to lose perspective you have a long way to go, remember the weight loss window is 12 to 18 months. If you have lost 63 lbs. at three months, imagine what you could still lose in the next 15 months!!!! Keep up the good work! Amber

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!

THAT IS GREAT!!! I had a pair of jeans that have been hanging in my closet for 1 1/2 years waiting for me to wear again. I tried them on a month after my surgery, and almost could wear them. Tried them on again 3 days ago, can't wear them! I can put both hands down INSIDE of the jeans. Got a new pair from friend that is several sizes less then I used to be. Enjoying getting different clothes. Not buying anything new yet, hope to lose more. I have only lost 63lbs in 3 months.

Had surgery on 10/14/04. my 3 wk checkup, had lost 25lbs. Three months later 1/16/05, have lost total of 63lbs. Finding it hard to lose now, have been walking at lunch at work. Have trouble with some foods, like small tv dinners, pasta, etc. Can eat some foods one day, then next week, can't. Does anyone else have this kind of problem?

KAT~ keep up the good work
