Tatum,
You are doing great!!! I feel the same way that you are feeling about my weight loss. I know that everyone loses at different rates but from the beginning i was doing awesome and now I am pretty much at a stand still. But oh well...Here are my stats:
Date of Surgery: October 12, 2004
Begininng Weight: 450lbs.
Current Weight: 333lbs. (based on my scale this morning)
Total Weight loss:-117
I feel as though I am eating too much but I wrote down all that I ate today and I am around 750 calories and 65.5 grams of protein. I can eat almost anything with the exception of milk and eggs. I had a protein shake with milk in it the other day and thought I was going to bring up my stomach as I vomitted. But anyway, good luck to you all and Congrats!!!

wow I had a good laugh over the wrinkle dog one! I needed that! And yes I have alot of the same ones you do. looking smaller on top but hey when is the tummy gonna go!! I have one knee that really bothers me now which I find strange since they never hurt when I weighed 287?? I havent lost enough yet to have hip bone stick out but I will gladly take that problem! My hair finally stopped falling out by the handfulls thank god but now I have all this new growth that sticks straight up! But all in all I can't complain, I have had no problems and can eat anything but ice cream or milkand have not dumped at all. I am a slow loser but had I not had surgery I would never have lost 70 pounds, not even close.
Topic: little quirks is anyone else noticing?
Hi there folks i thought id throw this out and see what comes back
what quirks are you guys experiencing out there?
I find that i bruise extremly easy.
i find that i cant lie on my side cause my hip bones hurt now
anyones knees seem worse for wear?
I can sit now my fanny hurts
My tailbone must have grew three inches cause i swear i never had one before now it feels like i got everest coming from my butt'
My upper body looks realy skinny through the shoulders and the collerbone but my middle waist seems to have ignored the fact that the top half is shrinking.
When i bend over and look at my waist it looks like the face of a wrinkle dog.
I get really shaky if i havent ate in a while and if i go to long without eating then eat i get the exausted thing no matter how slow and careful i eat.
hmm thats about it for y quirks any other feeling the same thing or have other quirks

Hi there
hi deb i didnt fall off the end of the earth just moved and i up to my eye teeth in renovations and boxes and just set up my puter tonight sooo here we go for roll call
6 months already sheesh time flies doesnt it
ok surgery date oct 21st
pre surgery weight 285
height 5 10 a little under not much thought 
now 183 I MADE THE CENTURY CLUB sometime during the renovation and moving this couple of weeks
eating i have been surviving on coffee sorry to say i know its not good for me but hey its better than nothing well ...maybe not.
I too can eat anything now. Although if i eat too much carbs i get the nautious need to lie down no energy thing. Ive not vomited yet though or anything like that i just get extremly lazy and blah for 30 to 45 minutes then im fine. That happens when i eat too much too fast or too much sugar....im guessing this is dumping.
I fit into a size 12 now comfortably...imagine that i kept an old pair of pants and did the two legs in one leg thing ...is it just me or are there others that are thinking DAMN i used to be THAT big....
anyways thats it for this post
kindest regards and hugs

I too can eat anything I want...I don't dump and I rarely have any problems!! I'm not a huge fan of protien and I know I don't get enough in....but...all in all, everything is great!! I'm still losing 2-4 lbs. a week so that's good!

My life has changed drastically since the surgery. I am full of energy and with the exception of sweets and sweet soy products I can tolerate all foods. I am sometimes afraid that I eat too much but I am very active and I appear to have lost the average amount of pounds for a person 6 1/2 months out

My biggest problem is eating too fast. BAD girl, I know, I am working on it.
