lost 42.5 lbs since Nov/01/05

Hello everyone, sorry i haven't gotten on much, i have been so busy with my new life.. Food is NOT the first thing on my mind anymore and i try to keep busy with doing other stuff. i went to the doctors on the 7th and i have lost a total of 43.5 lbs since November 1st that is just over 5 weeks out. I had VBG done by Dr Abawi in Bowmanville ontario. I started out at 334 that was my highest, day of surgery was 330 and today i weight in at 291.5. I am soo happy with my weight loss. even though i am only 5 and a bit weeks out i find i can only eat soup and yougart. i can eat 1/4 of am omellette done with cheese if i eat slowly. I am only able to eat 1 mean a day, i dont feel like eating anything else. taking my vitimins and i am walking alot. I can't do the protien drinks as they make me deathly ill, i am going to try them again though on monday with something else other then skim milk.. the strawberry Whay powerder at walmart sucks big time dont get it unless u are a huge fan of strawberry. things are going good, clothes are fitting much better, my 5x shirts are now lose, they hang not as much as i would like but i know it's all about time.. i went from a size 30 and i put on a size 24 strechy button up pants and they fit last week, this week they are a bit loss.. i know they are strechy but hey they fit and thats all that matters... I will try to update more often, hope everyone is doing great. have a good one all. Paula
