One Month = -48 Pounds

Well, one month ago I started my four day liquid diet leading up to my surgery on September 27. I have since lost 48 pounds and I feel great! I walk over a mile and a half everyday without pain in my formerly sore knees and ankles. I have had an average of 40% of my intake made up of protein since starting this process. I FEEL GREAT!!!! Thanks to everyone who has answered my questions along the way! I couldn't have gotten to this place without the help of my family at AMOS and OH.com. Thank you all so much! Okay, off to update my profile! TTFN, Paul

Paul, CONGRATULATIONS! Sounds like you are off to a running start! You are wise to keep very close tabs on your calorie intake. I am very proud of you and your success in the first month. You are one lucky man! Please keep us posted with your future success! Susan Lap RNY 6/9/04 267/178/135

I am 5 weeks out and have lost 37 pounds. Original goal of 115 pounds weight loss to get to where I should be...so have lost 32% of my extra weight. AM SO happy. Am doing protein shakes to get my totals in because I am having trouble keeping down meat or eggs in sufficient amounts. Getting in at least 60 grams of protein a day. Always have been a slow eater so do not think I am eating too fast and am chewing well. Sometimes food just does not taste good LOL. Sure tasted okay pre-surgery. I am walking 30 minutes a day or doing other physical activity equal to the walking every day. I walked a mile and half day before yesterday... Not fast but did get the distance. Miss our meetings Paul.. So glad you are doing so well. Glenda

Paul, CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is wonderful... Glad to hear that you are doing so great... Hope I continue to do as well as you... 8 days out and down 24lbs... I can hardly believe it... makes me want to cry happy tears of joy... Keep up the great work... You big loser you... LOL... Thank you for your kind words I appreciate every last one of them...
