Hi. New here. Had GBS on 8/11/08 with Dr. Gould

Hello.  My name is Lisa.  I had GBS on 8/11/08.  I saw Linda Tate today.  She told me about this site. 

I'm doing well so far.  I was 279.8 at my highest, 252.4 on 8/11 and today I weighed in at 235.  Having a little trouble with upset stomach and diahrea, but I think that's because of too much milk. 

Looking forward to meeting you all and sharing in your journey's.

Hi Lisa, Welcome. You are going to love this board, the people are so supportive. It sounds like you are doing great. I hope your tummy feels better soon. I had to do Lactaid for the first 6 weeks or so. Now I can tolerate skim milk. If you have any questions just ask - someone will be sure to try and answer. Good luck and very nice to meet you, I look forward to our journey.

Hi Lisa!  Nice to meet you.  This forum is terriffic, you will learn so much!  Sounds like you are doing great with your weight loss so far, too!

Welcome to the board, Lisa.  Sorry about the upset stomach, but that may pass with time.  Sounds like you're doing great otherwise.  I echo Rosemary's comments.  We are all here to support, so if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.
Have a great day!

Hi Lisa,
I had RNY with Dr. Gould a week after you did.  I was just telling Linda on Friday what a help I thought this site was and how much I had learned here.  The RNY board is really good with lots of info.

Welcome.

Nice to meet you, Lisa!
   So glad you're surgery went well.  That is a great weight loss already.  Good for you.  Problems with milk are very common.  I've already switched to drinking soy to avoid issues altogether.  I've never tried the Lactaid but I will this weekend.  I like the soy very well.  Great to have you with us.  Treading

Thanks everyone.  Looking forward to following your journey's.
