Hi All! I just discovered Obesity Help's BMI and goal weight results charts. I think it is so cool. You put in your starting weight, height and it predicts how much you will lose each month. I found out that I am not loosing slow, I am right on schedule. You can look at it and see what you will probably weigh in a few months. I wish I could include the link to it, but it wont let me. Put BMI in the search window and find it that way. Sunny

Hi all, Well I'm 4 months out today and I'm in onederland never thought I'd see it. I actually hit it 3 days ago, but I felt like it couldn't possibly be true so I waited for a few days and weighed today and now I know for sure. I've lost 61 pounds since surgery. I've had a sinus, and ear infection for over a week and am taking antibotics. It is so painful to eat, not in my throat but the back of the roof of my mouth and my tongue, so I saw my MD again today and I have Thrush. Never have had it before, he thinks its a combo of the antibotics and my nutritional intake. So now I'm having to suck on a losenge 5 times a day for 14 days, and off antibotics. I definately need to up my protein, because it hurts so bad I've only had water today. The meds are supposed to work quick though. Only other problem I've had is nausea from sinus drainage. Hope this crap is gone soon. Sarah
