3 month update

Hi everybody. Sorry I have not been posting much lately. I am having trouble with my classes. I have to spend more time studying. Anyway, As of this morning I have lost 80 pounds since Decemeber 15th. I am very happy with that. I wrote an update email to everyone and I am going to put it in my profile in a few minutes if anyone would like to read it. I am also planning to update my after picture. Hope you all are doing well. Take care Erin

Im so glad your posting again.. I am now down a total of 59 lbs. So im not doing to bad... (((HUGS))) Dori

Wow! You guys are amazing!! I'm down 45 pounds and I'm happy with that. It feels great! Sunny

Great job !!! My surgery wqas Dec 9 and I have lost 64 lbs and from 55BMI to 43.3. My adult daughter had it in Kansas City a month and 2 days before me and just before 4 months she had lost 100 lbs!!! Her partner has a weight problem too, although not as severe, she wishes she could have had the surgery, but insurance would not pay, and my daughter got the money for hers from my parents. It is hard for her partner to watch her adhering to this restrictive lifestyle, but it is also hard to try to lose alot of weight on her own. We all know that all too well !!! They have an eliptical though because I bought it before my daughters surgery. They both use it several times a week. She did need to have a balloon procedure done 2 twice though, and my husband and I will have to help her pay for this. What do you like to do for exercise? I have permanent disabilities on both knees, one foot and ankle, both shoulders and one wrist, so many things won't work for me. But I have been doing 35-40 minutes of non stop movement in the pool 3-4 times a week since 2 1/2 wks post op. I think this is helping me. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!

Hi well I think you are doing well. Congrats! You asked what I like to do for exercise. I would love to be able to swim and do things in a pool, but that is not possible right now due to money issues. I do go to a gym and walk the treadmill for a little bit and use weight machines that do not bother my knees and tummy. I figure eventually I will be able to do more and benefit more from exercising, but I have to start somewhere. Keep do what you are doing and take care of yourself. Erin
