My starting weight the day before surgery was 300lbs I am down to 194lbs thats 106 down, but my weight loss too has slowed down alot. I usually only lose antwhere from 5-8 lbs a month. I know I need to up my excercise and probably my protien. I have not weighed what I weigh now since I was 11 years old so I can say that having this surgery has been a true blessing. I do eat pretty much like a normal person, just depending on the day. I think all of you are doing great! I have to say sometimes I do get dicouraged when I see that so many others are losing more than I but we all are different and are going to lose differently. So just keep pushing on I know that everyday is still a struggle for me to do the right thing. Shelley 300/194/g160

Hi Carrie. You are doing great. You just keep it up. We're all different people. We lose at different speeds. I'm worried sometimes that I won't stop losing. I've lost 113 pounds since November. I'm wearing 12's and for 5'9" that is great. I can't eat normally still. For dinner I had 1 rib, 1 small ear of corn (half of it), a couple spoonfuls of butter beans, a couple bites of watermelon and that was it. That was the most I've eaten in a while. Now I can have my Crystal Light and later I'll have a protein shake. For lunch I had a Caesar salad and a couple of spoonfuls of apple pie made with Splenda. Food doesn't excite me anymore and I want it to stay that way. lol My weight loss is slowing down though. I'm losing about 2-3 pounds a month now. I hope to lose 10 more pounds just so when I bounce back gaining I will be where I am now. You hang in there and don't stress about it. You've done wonderfully. xoxo Alice Alice From DAllas 11/10/04 285/175/172

Started at 347 am down to 192 so a total of 155. I went from a 28W & 4X to a 16 no W(14 if I don't want to breath) and a L. I now weigh less than my 6'1" son which is thrilling!! I haven't had a 1 in front of my weight in 21 years!

I've lost 160 pounds since my surgery. Life is so good now!

Hi everyone, it has been a while since I posted. I started this journey at 320 lbs and I am down to 210 as of this morning so thats a total of -110. I can't believe it!!!. Sometimes I just forget about it and then someone will come up and tell me how good I look. Have you lost weight? sometimes I don't know what to say. If I should tell them exactly how. I basically tell them, I joined curves, Drink my water, eat protein and no sugar. Which is all true!! There are a few a tell about the surgery. I feel we should get the credit for working so hard. This is not easy and you have to make many sacrafices. I try to keep to my high protein low carb diet. Recently I have tried low card bread and tortillas. But my portion sizes are still small. I started to platue last month but started loosing again this month. I am trying to not snack at night because that has always been my worst enemy if I do I try to keep to a slice of cheese of something healthy. I have had suger free chocolate when I really want something. It's Okay for a fix. so I wish everyone well and keep up the good work!! because it is work and its is a tool. God Bless
