**GREAT NEWS**

I am officially -100 pounds, woo freakin hoo. I would like to also report that I have not had a nausea/dry heave spell in 2.5 weeks.wheeeeeeeeeeeee Dr. Duncans goal for me is to lose 6 more pounds, I think I just might hit it by 1 yr out. Melissa 241/141/135

Thats awesome! Congratulations! Phyllis

Thanks Phyllis

Melissa, Congratulations!!! That is great news about not having any nausea/dry heave spells...I know that you are relieved about that. Maybe the new med regiment is working to help you lose the extra weight. Norma

Thanks Norma, to be honest I do believe I know what the problem is now, the vitamins with Iron. I honestly now think that is what was making me sick, now that he has me off them. I can't go back on them til the 25th. A friend of mine told me it might be best to go to walgreens.com and purchase the ones specifically for bariatric patients, so I believe I'm going to do that. Melissa

Wow Melissa....that is so freakin awesome gurl! You inspire me! I pray I do the same... Im so glad you are feeling better! Hey honey how quick did you start protein...I know they said clear liquids until our checkup but I have missed my protein! 100 pounds.......doesnt that just blow your mind!

Thank You Pam.......How are you feeling by the way? I think I started my shakes @ 3 weeks out but I no longer do them, cause all I have tried a YUCKY now, I get in some protein now, not as much as I should due to meats make me sick now.........Best of luck!! Melissa

That is great news Melissa..... you'll get to where you want to be. Heck I'm already getting down to where I don't want to be. Guess it's time for me to start adding back a few carbs more. I'm too large framed to go much below a size 8, and thats where I am now. Good Luck on your final 6 Hugs, Susan

Hey girlfriend, how are you feeling these days? So you are below goal, I am below mine of 150, but Duncans is 135. I am in size 8/10s now, never thought I'd see those numbers, and I'm SHORT as well, only 5'3". Melissa

Hey Melissa! Haven't seen you on here in awhile, was hoping everything was OK. Thanks for the info on the Carrollton support group. It was nice to sit and talk with others who have been through it all. Congrats on the 100 lbs! Way to go!
