Where are you in the process? Post Op Surgery? RNY Type? LAP Date? 3/17/06 Highest Weight 314 Total Loss 150 Beginning Sizes: Pant: 26/28 Shirts: 3X Shoes: 11/12 WIDE Sizes Now: Pants: 10/12 Shirts: Med - Large Shoes: 9 or 9 1/2 How do you feel? I feel awesome!

Do you have any concerns? I always have some doubts - am I done losing? am I going to gain? will I ever stop taking iron pills? However I know that these are normal and I have to get out of that "dieters" mentality - but I may need someone to kick my butt into line from time to time!!

I think I also need to get back to why I did this - 1. My health was horrible 2. I wanted to live 3. I was sick and tired of being sick and tired. 1. I am no longer on 8 prescription meds! 2. I can walk forever instead of 10 steps!! 3. I have more energy and can do anything I want with my family - no more restrictions or excuses!!!

This is a great idea!  I'm pre-op and really gives me inspiration.  I can't wait to have smaller shoe size one benefit I didn't think of!!!

Beginning Sizes: Pant: 32/5x Shirts: 5-6x Shoes: 12ww Sizes Now: Pants: 16/18 Shirts: L/xL Shoes: 12m How do you feel?-so much better it is hard to remember I was ever so sick!! do  you have any concerns?  I would still like to lose more-lost focus and stopped  year ago.  Time to relearn pouch rules!  I have been so much more healthy-no more cholesterol meds, diabetes looming over me (A1c is now totally normal instead of elevated).  Much less pain, more energy-able to walk for miles and not be out of breath on the stairs-this was the best decision I have ever made!

How are you?

Doing great still struggling to lose that 10 lbs but I know what I have to do Practice what I preach!!! I have to give up my addiction to caffine fee Diet coke that I acquired when I had my plastics! I just read a big article in Lifetime fitness Magazine that says that Diet Soda is actually worse for you than regular pop becasue of the way it regulates you insulin. Wish me luck on curbing this nasty habbit! I think I need to stop and visit on Saturdays when meets but I only know you and a couple of others Have a great holiday season! Jim

My Christmas wish for people is tolet themselves off the hook for ten pounds....  that means you too mister.  Not gaining is the goal! Yes we meet this Saturday at Byerly's...you should stop by and grab a java. Yes give up that nasty soda... no good! Im down again this morning... 123 pounds 140 lost.  HOLY Cats. Hope to see you and if not Merry Merry Xmas friend... Linda
