12/20 Team .... PLEASE JOIN ME

Greetings from frigid upstate NY!! Temp. this morning -11 (-30 w/windchill)! Too cold for anything! I had my RNY surgery on 12/20/04. I would love to join the group! So far I've lost approx. 22 lbs. I check the scale at work daily and it seems to be gaining on me. I've been back to work 1/2 days for a week now, and my eating schedule is all messed up. I'm still sticking to the soft stage but I'm not getting the results I was hoping for. Today the scale said that I gained a pound. Perhaps I should stay off it for a while. I feel great and nothing disagrees with me, except applesauce. I haven't had any vomiting. HURRAY! I don't go back to the doctor until March. Boy I hope I loose more weight! Glad to be part of the team! I'll check back later! Kathy 325/306/302/???

Hi all, My name is Rebecca and Im from Pennsylvania. Im a 12/20 teammate and have lost 22lbs since surgery and 44lbs since the pre-op diet. Im down 4 dress sizes (now an 18) and went to a ****tail party tonight and for the first time in many years felt like a million bucks. My kids even called the cellphone to ask if anyone was commenting on the new and improved me...I said yes, everyone is. It was awesome. Im eating just about anything I want, chicken, pork, beef, and am tolerating it just fine. I had 2 vomiting incidents whne I ate too fast. It seems like there are days when I can eat more than others, but am adjusting nicely to the new lifestyle. I work out at curves 3x a week and am enjoying that as I have never done anything for myself. I drink 12 oz of proteiin shake a day and am getting 40 g of protein in that way, I also eat my protein at my meal first so if Im full, at least I got it in. Im taking calcium and iron and also vitamins, I dont always get the vitamins in, but am trying really hard to do so. Congrats to all of you on your weight loss and I hope to hear more from the 20er's....God Bless, Rebecca
