Dec 27 - how is everyone doing???????????

Hi all! Soooooo ... how is everyone doing??? Not just the weight loss ... but overall ... how are you feeling? eating? drinking? all of it??????????? I am down about 79lbs with 20 to go (woohoooooooooooo). I have gone from a 22/24 into a 10/12 bottom ... from an XXL top into a M!! Unfortunately, I had to undergo surgery last Monday to have my gallbladder removed but have been feeling phenominal since! I can tolerate food so much better now. I do still struggle with my fluids but now that it is hot I've done better Overall, I feel GREAT!!! I would not change my mind about this surgery if I could!

Hi Christine and everyone in the Dec-2007 board, im new to OH, my name is Mara and I am doing fantastic.I have learned about patience and perseverance with this surgery and not to compare myself to others. I havent had any problems and I tolerate everything I eat. Decaff herbal tea has saved me from getting dehydrated. Now im finally been able to drink cold water.My journey started on 12/26/07. I loose extremely slow but steady. I have gone from a size 24W pants to size 16 misses. I am wearing size 8-10 tops.

I'm with you! I would mortgage my home to pay for this surgery if I had to! My only concern is being dizzy. My Dr. thinks it's iron. Had blood tested on Wednesday and am waiting to get results. Have lost 74 lbs and am wearing size 8. Haven't done that since high school. Dr. thinks I should get down to 110 before the plateau. I highly doubt it because I don't ever remember being that low! He wants me to start drinking about 40-60 gr. of protein a day. I had been drinking 20 gr. a day. Can really eat about any food. Still haven't tried sugar!

I am doing great... can eat and drink any and everything (sadly)... have dumped just once (chocolate chip cookie from Carl's Jr... POOR CHOICE) and have never vomitted or even felt nauseous. One year ago I weighed 347. On Sept 9th I decided to lose weight.... I lost over 60lbs and then had surgery on Dec 17th. Since Dec 17th, I have lost 76 more lbs... I am down 145lbs since Sept... from size 5XL to a L or XL and from a tight 32 to a 14 or 16.... life is great.... Now if only I could get to onederland.... grrrrrrrrrrrrrr

I had my surgery on Dec 17th. I feel amazing. I have lost 100 lbs and have gone from a size 24W to a 12 misses or 11/12 juniors and M/L tops. I am so happy had my surgery - my life has improved drastically....I think it's because I feel better physically and mentally.

I had my surgery on the 28th a year ago and am down from a 20 to a 4/6. I feel great and have not been sick. I can eat most things but do not do well with bread or pasta. I am so glad I had this surgery. I had a TT 4 weeks ago so I am go to go now!

How 'bout some new updates?? :)

my surgiversary was on 12/27.  I am now "underweight" at 106.2 and trying to gain back (believe it or not!).  I feel great most of the time ****il I make bad choices that is!).

How is everyone else?????
