Good Tuesday Morning Diana, Im doing pretty good. I can not tolerate any meats at all, or fish for that matter it floods my system and then I either purge or have to go to bed and rest until it decides to head south. But I can eat vegetables and some fruits. I eat more veggies than I do fruits though. I have been getting my protein in quote well I average around 100 grams a day and that helps to make up for the lack of Meat. I tried Refried beans the other night and that did ok but I didnt eat very many. So I may try them again. I had my surgery 12/16/05 and am now down 58lbs. I was stalled for about two weeks but it is moving again. Ive also gone from size 26/28 to 15/16 in Pants and 26/28 in tops to size 18/20 (I blame it on the boobs). I dont dump very much I dumped so much in the beginning that I have slowed down and really paid attention to what and how much Im putting into my mouth. So this is where I am. Im still very very happy that I had this life saving surgery. (((HUGS))) Days

Finally! Was plateaued for a couple weeks but seem to be past that now - started at 255# and am now at 199#! Can't believe it - with all the diets over the years I never got below 200 - now I can hardly wait to reach the century club... What a blessing!

wow! That's something. I know my shoe size expanded over time, I thought it was just spreading out from age. It would be very nice to go down a size. How much weight have you lost? I'm guessing a lot. sunny

I've gone down from 12 to 11 so far. There's another 1/2 size of foot fat left - I was a 10 1/2 at one time.

I feel great. No nausea unless I don't get enough carbs. No other problems either. And I don't smoke, never have. Hope you get this taken care of. -Maria
