Hi Darlene, Welcome to the November board!! AND......congratulations on your weight loss!!! Fifty-five pounds is great, and sounds right about on target for those of us who had surgery around your date. I haven't weighed myself for a couple of weeks, but, at that time, I was right where you are now. Maybe I've lost a few more pounds, and maybe not. I try not to get too obscessed about the actual weight loss, and instead focus on getting all of my proteins, vitamins and liquids in. I must admit, though, I am anxious to see my internist this coming week, just so I can jump on his scale (remember those days we hated getting weighed??? So not the case these days!!!). Anyway, continued good luck to you, and keep in touch via this board!!! *Kam*

Thanks for the warm wishes....sometimes you feel all alone in this wls and its nice to know there are others out there to supoort ya...Have a great day......................Darlene
