I am doing well... better than I expected! I didn't believe it until I went for my 6 month check up last week! Surgery Date: October 27th Pre-Op Weight: 280 Current Weight: 182 Total Loss: 98 pounds Oh soooo close to the century club!!! But I am in a 14! YAY! And I actually fit into a pair of 12's, but they were tight! Congrats to everyone on their weight loss - everyone seems to be doing GREAT! Hopefully I will be able to post next week - I am trying hard to hit that Century mark by Saturday!!!

I started at 278 and had surgery on 10/13. I am a really slow loser and had lost 70 pounds but gained two back this week but I thibk it is because it is cycle time any day now. Trying not to be discouraged or compare myself to others but when I read how great you are all doing it gets harder and harder not to!! Congrats to you all by the way!!

Surgery: Oct 21 Starting weight: 285 Today's weight: 170 LOST: 115 I fit a size 12 jeans, though I really have a hard time believing it! For food, I drink a lot of shakes, water, the occasional Diet Pepsi, tuna, chicken, broccoli, carrots, potato, cheese, cheese and more cheese, Fiber One(God, I need it, lol) strawberries, cucumber, and I eat a little piece of chocolate a few times a week. (bad me, I know) I make soup often, usually a bit of chicken breast, carrot, celery, chick broth, and add some potato and milk for a cream soup or just leave it for regular. Ive had deli meat (fat free turkey) rolled up with a piece of cheddar in the middle, but only could eat 1/2.... hrm,, think thats about it. Oh, yea, Crackers that I put my tuna and chicken salads on, and soy mini rice cake thingies. With tuna and chicken i add mayo, diced pickle, shredded cheddar, mustard, salt, pepper and sometimes a little ranch or cucumber dressing in the chicken. Its super soft and yummy! Debb I can eat egg sometime, but dont enjoy it enough to risk it, lol.

I dont think you are eating too much, but its something to ask your surgeon. For me, I didnt even eat for the first 3.5 months from a minor complication so, the amount I eat now seems like a lot to me. I guess it depends on how you progressed.

Surgery: Oct 1 Starting weight: 260 Today's weight: 170 Total 90 pounds And in another 10 pounds I will shout it to the board, I can't wait Janice
