Hi everybody. My date was 12/18. I have lost, according to my scale, 46 lbs. I feel it is going slow. I notice the change in my clothes. I actually had to get rid of some things that were too big!!!. Many people say they notice the difference in my face especially. Good luck to everybody. Susan [email protected]

Hi All, I've lost 34 - 36 pounds so far. Only lost 6 pounds in 2 1/2 weeks. I will be 8 weeks out on Monday. I don't care what the scale says because my ketone strips show I'm losing a moderate to large amount of fat everytime I urinate. My clothes get bagger everytime I put them on. I now have a good amount of energy. I can run up the stairs at work and be able to breathe normally. I can see my ankles. OM they're a little ashy. Well now I can put lotion on them. When I pass a mirror , I like what I see. And I smile. Collette

12/24/03 I've lost 57 pounds for far. I have packed away my first set of "too big clothes". I have been searching in my closet for those clothes that I "grew out of". Some of them are too big already!!! It's almost..... shopping time!!!!. Oh for that day when I can shop in a regular store instead of the 'fat ladies shops'. My heaviest weight was 292 and now I am at 235. Oh, happy day!!! Hugs Pat

I am down 50 pounds, surgery was Dec. 31st. I just found this forum, so sorry I haven't been here. I post on the main boards alot, as I am sure you know, at least SOME of you that I recognize. Tracy -50

I am down aobut 60 pounds. I sn't it funny I still feel so impatient and want more. I think I am excited for the below 200 mark that I haven't seen in over 20 years since I started having children. Patience!! I have a hard time seeing the difference but definitely feel better. I am ogin in tomorrow for my second stricture diation.Maybe that has helped keep me honest!! Alice

My surgery was 12/29/03 and I have only lost 28 pounds. I started out pre-op at 311 lbs dropped down to 282 and went back up to 286. I am a little discourage about that, but I am trying not to focus so much on that. I am exercising some, but not at all like I should. I started doing the stairs at work and was thinking maybe the weight gain is contributed to muscle that I may be building, even though I had only walked the stairs for two days (smile). I have been doing curls and sit-ups so I really do not know. I am trying to believe that everyone loses at their own pace, if I could just hold on to that belief, and understand the plateau theology. Great sucess to everyone!!!!!!!!!!
