A Thought....

Arlies, I thought about people not wanting to post their beginning weights. I understand and wont pressure you at all. I was afraid to tell people my weight until I got approved for the surgery. Watch that tomato soup--very high in sugar. 121 is awesome---keep it up!

I am not sure what my goal should be. April 2005/332/310/150tuna and it came back I weighed in 2 weeks ago so I can't wait to see the new numbers May the 17th. Jane

Hey Jane... You are doing really good too... How tall are you?? That might help in what you should weigh. My doctor said that its usually 80% of your excess lost. I can tell you though that I have lost 84% of my excess. I still want to lost another 19 pounds. Who knows if I will make it. I cant wait until you get your new figures. I am excited that your clothes are too big. Sorry you cant make the meeting on the 16th! We will miss you...

March 2005/516/450/275=66 lbs gone forever Potatoe chips I can only weight when I get to hattiesburg so Hopefully I will get down there this week to weigh in. Bear1415

Bear.... You want the good news or the bad news first?? Good? --Okay... you are doing GREAT! Cant wait to see you all at the meeting... Bad?---Potato chips= (just kidding -- they arent terrible --even real life skinny people eat potato chips) Cant wait to see your new figures too...

October 2004/279/190/140 = 89/fried chicken livers. They were very good and did not bother me until I had one bite too much. I only have about 50 lbs to go till goal. I joined the Y last week to help with those last pounds.

Amelia.. I have never had a chicken liver... NEVER... Are they good? I am glad you didnt get sick on them. I have heard alot of postops enjoy them and do well with them. Way to go on being 50 pounds away from goal! It wont be long now!

This was the first time I had them since the surgery. They were very good. I was not sure if I could eat it or not since I try to stay away from fried foods, but they were fine. Just in moderation.

Christine, Just joined obesityhelp this week. I am thoroughly enjoying the site and all the helpful information. I would like to be involved from the beginning if that's okay with you. Thanks for responding!
