7 months update !!! :jump:

Hi all, well i feel like a dork ! I have been on the sites for awhile now, but not on the nov. 2004 site ..... duh ! This is where i belong . I had my open rny in nov. of 04, i now have pics on my site check it out. I think i have done ok on my weight loss I started out at 203 and now am down to 153. I bounce back to 155-156 then back down. I have had my share of weight stalling that is for sure .I try to remind myself first of all i didn't have a huge amount to lose. I hope to see 130 by nov. 22nd of 05 time will tell. I eat whatever i want in moderation. I try to due protein first . I have no problem with my shakes , and love to eat any kind of fruits . I consider myself extreamly blessed thru all of this I have had no problems at all . Thanks for the updates on all messages. trishie , algonquin ,il

Hiya Trish, Glad you joined us here. You are looking good! I too consider myself blessed by this surgery. I have had no complications (well I did lose tons of hair, but that has stopped and I am getting new growth in) and I am SOOOO much healthier than I was! Come back and post often! God bless you and keep you, ~Andrea

Morning Trish! I'm "new" here too. I've been AWOL from this Web site for months now - but I'm back. So, I hope to see you here each week. Like you, I didn't have as much to lose as a lot of patients. I made my goal as of this past week - down 86.8 pounds! Best of luck to you, hon!

Hi Trish... We had the same surgery date and are about the same weight now. I too am hoping to hit 130 by Nov 22, 2005. I stall quite a bit too but haven't had any issues with my surgery. I have dumped once and that was due to the fat in Mayonaise...so weird...I used to use TONS and now I can't stand the taste, lol. Your pictures are great...I don't have any of my own. I am one of those people who avoid the camera no matter what so it was neat to see the changes in you....I have a hard time seeing my own changes but hopefully my brain will catch up soon. Hope to see more of you on the board. Lori WT: 231/154/130 SIZE: 22W/8/6-8
