ME TO!! I am always cold now, people tell me it's because I am losing body fat. My boss at work is amazed because I was always so hot at work, now I am the one turning up the heat!

Glad to hear you are doing better!! I am hoping to make it without getting the flu ... the headcold was bad enough for nausea LOL Can't wait to see the new pics!! I really made an effort to track my food and exercise on www.dailyplate.com and realized I wasn't doing as bad with my proteins as I thought. I am getting about 50 in a day (I am supposed to have 68) but I thought I was in the 30's so I'm better than I thought at least!! I am also now able to drink the Special K protein water again (the too sweet phase must be over ... for now lol). Hopefully I can get outside and workout now that the weather is getting a little warmer!

Mike i don't mean to be two stupid but I can not figure out how to post pictures! I do agree with your suggestion on posting pictures. I had a get together last night with serveal friends and the comments were so encouraging because I do consider my self still heavy! If you could help me figure this site out it would be most appreicated!

Hi Vicky, I had surgery on Dec 17th and also feel my weight loss is a bit slow, I have lost 53-54lbs as well! I lost a total of 67lbs pre op (57 in the 3 months immediately preop), so I assume that's why I am losing a bit slower than others...BUT, if you think about, 53lbs in 3 months??!??!?!? That's nothing to sneeze at!!!! Good Work!!!!!!

Fortunately no one has said this to me but when and if someone does this is what I plan on saying: The easy way would have been to not do anything and stay the way I was. It was not easy for me to decide to risk my life, to risk leaving my children without a mother and husband without a wife. What people do not understand is that while the weight does come off quickly for a while we still have to put a lot of work into making the surgery work. Eat what I do for a week and tell me how easy it is.
