Hi Megan, Great post. Surgery date: 12/15/04 pre-surgery weight: 266 Loss to date since 12/15/04: 66 Goal: 1? Surgeon says my body will determine what weight it wants to stop at. Yes, I exercize, but very sporatically lately. Unfortunately my taste buds didn't change - so I just try to stay away from the food I loved or find a healthy version of it. Candy 266/200/1? -66

Hey, this is the first poll I get to participate in...!! Well, let's see.... When was surgery?-Dec. 27 How much did I weigh nite before?-286 How much lost?-As of April 15, 52 lbs. What is my goal?-My goal is to be able to tuck my shirt in to my pants without hiding my belt. Maybe a straight 14...yeah, that's it! Does it differ from my surgeon?-Yes, it does. He want me down to about 135. I don't think so. I'll look sick! Do I exercise?-Not as faithfully as I should. But I have written down the commitment to do it faithfully for 2 weeks and see where that takes me to sticking with it. What is the one thing I liked before surgery that now makes me sick?-Well, I'm tolerating everything fairly well. But the one thing that I've noticed is that I'm losing my taste for coffee. And being a southern girl, that's a ! As far as Krispy Kreme, Megan. Pre-surgery, I used to be able to put down 7 if they were hot. Now, I can do 1 1/2, if I'm lucky. But that's only on a truly good day. This was fun...let's do another one! ~Ashley RNY 12/27/04 286/234 -52

When was your surgery? Mine was December 9th How much did you weigh right before surgery? 302 How much have you lost as have what date? 68 pounds What is your goal? Haven't really set one - I'm a little gun shy about this because of previous diet attempts. Does it differ from your surgeons goal or your BMI thing? My surgeon didn't really get a goal weight. My nutritionist wants me to be in the normal BMI range Do you exercise? Yes - I love it. I have been working with a trainer since before my surgery and I think it makes a difference. What is one thing you liked before surgery and you tried it post op and went YUCK! Nothing yet. Thanks for the fun poll! Mary
