Where are my fellow 13er's???

I know I am late with my 5 month update, , but I made it to the Dr. today to weigh-in and yes, I am down 98 pounds! I am so excited! My goal was 100 at 6-months! I better not have any problems with meeting that goal! I have updated my profile and picture trail if you are interested in taking a peek! Come on fellow 13ers? How are you doing? Come out of !

5 months out and down 73 pounds. Happy as can be about that. Now I just need to start exercising to tone up. My clothes are falling off. I can't believe it's been 5 months!

I'm not a 13'er but just wanted to give you a Congradulations on the weight loss you are doing great! Kelly

I am not a 13'er either but I wanted to congratulate you for a job well done you are definitely doing your thing. You are surely working your wls tool. I had my 5 month anniversary yesterday and I am down 73lbs. I am currently wearing size 14 in misses sizes and L tops. I am hoping to hit the century mark in a couple of months. You will hit the century mark soon, keep up with what you are doing. Fran

Great JOB!!!!! I am not a 13er.. BUT Wanted to Complement you! You will make it!!!!! Jane 329/236 -93 lbs

You have the right to be dancing... You will make that 100 pounds... I wish I was there. I have just lost 55 pounds... Brenda 232/178/140

I'm not a 13'er. I just discovered this message board, so I'm a new lurker. I'm a 27'ther! I am down 113 pounds and feel great. Still working with some nerve damage issues to my left foot, but getting stronger all the time. Glad to meet all of you December 2004'ers!

My surgery was the day after...on the 14th. My sincere congratulations to all of you on your weight losses! I know exactly how you are all feeling, as I am continually amazed at how the pounds are disappearing. Although, I do have to say I get discouraged now and then with the infernal "stops" and "starts!" Anyone else have this problem? By my calculations, I should have lost 100 pounds by now...but I am only down 72 as of this morning. It is like I will lose steadily, then stop...then start losing again, then stop! Maddening! I have never really gotten off the full liquid diet. About three months ago, I was supposed to be able to move to solid foods, but each time I tried, I would get sick. After many weeks, I was able to finally get an appointment with a gastroenterologist, had an endoscopy, and was found to have a stricture. The doctor said he could not stretch it entirely in one procedure, so I am scheduled for another one on June 6th. STILL not able to eat solids. I am wondering now if I will be too paranoid to try, some day. It's good to hear so many success stories from you guys! God bless you! Pat

Hi Pat Stay encouraged! I am sorry to hear about your stricture. I pray it will get better. Don't worry about the plateaus, they happen to all of us. I am glad I just stick with weighing once a month so I don't see them. Keep up the good work!
