5 mos and down 170lbs

Well, lets just say I never thought it would be like this. I have lost a whole person off my back. I was 400lbs Dec,04 and as of this morning I am 230lbs. I am so happy and proud of all my accomplishments. I just thank GOD that he has brought me thus far. I still have a way to go but, thats ok. I have been very lucky and have gone without any complications what so ever. I owe my turn around to myself as well as my great surgeon Dr. Leo Murphy at Pacific Bariatrics in San Diego Ca. I just want to wish all my Bariatric brothers and sisters the best and let you all know you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Congratulations to you. You should be very proud of yourself. You are using your wls tool. I remember when I first started out on this journey, people were telling me that I was taking the easy way out, but thinking about it now, I didn't. Just because we had the surgery doesn't make it easy. It is very hard because you have to make good choices in food. I thank GOD every day for the choices that I made and continue to make. Just remember that GOD bought you to this and bought you through it. Continue with great success and keep up the good work. Fran RNY 12/16/04 283/205/160? -78lbs

Fran, I want to thank you for your kind words. It has not been easy, but well worth it. I wish you all the luck in the world on your continued jorney.

Great, Fantastic and Wonderbar but how did you do it. I was 242 on December 7th when I had my surgery and have only lost 56 lbs. I think I am eating right and I am walking 2 and half miles 4 to 5 times a week and I am losing so slow. I get very discouraged because I drink the water and eat the protien but the scale dosen't move much.
