Oh Man, I am feeling better too! I had my surgery on Oct 25, 2004, and have lost 51 pounds.. but it seems since I started my period last week, I have been at a stand still.. Really making me emotional and sad.. But now I know that there are others in the same boat makes me feel better.. I have been kicking my butt at the gym every other day too!! Someone mentioned too about getting too little calories in.. How many calories should we be getting in? My doc did not tell me this, so I feel bad if I go over 400.. should I be shooting for something else?? Maybe that will help jumpstart my weight loss again..

Welcome Mary we look forward to hearing from you. If there any questions you have feel free to ask us. I can't imagine not going back to my doctor till my year check up. welcome to the october family, and good luck on your weight loss. Merry christmas!! Lisa 382/332

All three of you are doing wonderfully! I had a wow moment myself today - my cat was able, I think for the first time since I adopted him three years ago, to curl up on my lap and sleep! It was awesome. Good job ladies! Rach

I am so glad to find out that I am not the only one that feels this. I too have read about people losing 100 pounds in three months and felt that I am way behind in my weight loss. I had Lap RNY 10/06/04 and have lost 38 pounds so far. I am starting my new gym membership this week. It was a Christmas present for our family. I am hoping the boost in activity will help my progress. I have really not had any problems eating. A few times I have thrown-up but I think it was because something was too spicy not that I over ate. I went back to work after three weeks. It has been a struggle finiancially being off work but I had to do it. I have just been thankful that my recovery has gone well. I just am so desperate to lose this weight and I know we all lose at different rates. I want to wish everyone a very safe and happy holiday season. Merry Christmas! ROBYN
