Hello Evelyn, I am new to the board too. I had my surgery on 9/28 --so I am just a little over two weeks out--I see that your original weight was almost the same as mine(242)--I am totally impressed and inspired by your weight loss. My goodness! 115 lbs.!!! and you are feeling good !--I see that you look great! Fantastic! I hope that I can do as well as you. I am trying very hard to take my vitamins, eat my protein and Drink my water. How much exercise do you do? --and what kind of exercise? I need all the pointers that I can get. Please e-mail me if you get a chance. [email protected] Have a blessed day! Marian S.C.

Hey there Marian! First let me say Congratulations to you on making the decision for a happier and healthier life!!!!!!! Now one thing you have to remember is that everyone loses at their own pace so don't get upset if you see that you are not losing as fast as someone els. As for excercise I have to be honest, with all the running around and cleaning of the houses that I do and the up and down stairs so much that is my excercise Ask Christine G. she will tell you I don't know how to sit still I never did not even before the weight loss I want to say I wish you all the sucess in your journey and if there is anything I can do for you please let me know. Have a wonderful day!!!!!!! Evelyn {{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}} 247/132-134

Hi Evelyn, Welcome back. You are so right about this message board. Many wonderful, friendly and loving people here. I live in Rochester and I had my surgery in May 2005 at Park Ridge Hospital. Dr. Jennifer Griffith was my surgeon and she was absolutely wonderful. I'm happy to say I'm down 70 lbs as of this morning. It's the best thing I ever decided to do for myself. Again, welcome back.
