You are cute qtee....

As for me I know that if you are not losing the weight as fast as others are it can make you depressed. But each of us has a different metablosim, and weight loss can come slower, or faster. Surgery Date: 10/21/04 Start Weight: 377 Current Weight: 240 Total weight loss: 137 There are those periods of stand stills, and the fear that the weight loss will stop. As for me. Surgery eliminated my hunger. I can't seem to eat as much as I need so I suppliment my diet with a protein shake. I have learned from various diets how to enhance the flavor of the drink, by adding sugar free chocalate syrup, and instant decaffinated coffee. I make it frothy with shaved ice. I still have problems eating some meats. And It has been a real chore to slow down when I eat. I will personally be glad when I finally reach my weight loss goal. The main thing I try to focus on is that it is not as important how fast the weight comes off, as long as it does. Hope the rest of you continue the good work, and be encouraged.....

IM AT GOAL!!!!! My surgeon said hello skinny come on in. My labs are fine which i was a lil worried about. I lost 110 lbs or a lil more depending on what weight i go with as a start weight. Never thought someone say skinny and think or referr to me in the same day. Im wearing a size 10 to 12 which is good for me as im almost 6 feet with size ten feet.

I have never replied before, but I like reading that I am doing about the same as everyone else and that is reassuring. Surgery Date 10/11/04 Starting Weight 279 Today 167.5 Total lost=111.5 Height 5'4 Thanks for all the encouragement Lori
