All Buckeyes - Sunday Morning Report

I haven't seen much activity from some of you guys ... how bout a shout out? I wanna know how y'all are doing. Here's my stats as of this morning: Original weight 258 Weight on surgery date 251 Weight loss since surgery: 67 pounds Bust was 44, now 39.3 Waist was 41.5, now 34.5 Butt was 47.8, now 39 That's right, I'm shaped like a stick! Thigh was 33, now 21 Upper arm was 18, now 15" (I'm never gonna lose these arms!) Aside from that, I have been a major grouch (and that's a NICE way of putting it) all week, preparing for a huge conference at work and impossible to live with. In addition to being stressed almost to tears, I think I have a sinus infection and have a rotten headache. Need to get to the doctor but the timing is terrible, schedule-wise. However I am thrilled with my weight loss and finding more and more need to exercise - it really pays off. Even helps a lot with the physical effects of stress. Let's hear it, how is EVERYONE???

Good Sunday Morning to you ((((((( Kitty))))))) I live with sinus headaches during the seasonal changes in spring and fall, sucks! You can set clocks to my afternoon headaches. Going to Dr. Tuesday to get relief, allergies are already gone crazy too. I'll go with my highest weight since I worked so hard to drop the 30lbs before surgery. Highest - 348 OMG Last night at ER = 231 (still a fatty, ack, but a much lighter one now, had another bout with Cellulitus.. ugh) - 87 lbs since surgery -117 total loss ! Will I make 100 lbs lost by my 6 months, HECK YES! I got 6 weeks and I'm gonna do it! (found a super protein drink also, I have a link on my www) My job has me extremely busy right now, so I'm still not doing "a lot" of exercise, shame on me, but I am trying to up that each day..one way or another. This was a diiferent scale last night, will get true wt on Monday eve. My #'s are decent too: Total "'s lost 59 5/8" I'm shaped like a football player, no hiney and big shoulders/chest wearing a 10-12 slacks (stretch) going for my sons jeans by my b-day in 8 days though, will fit in the waist, but big everywhere else! Tops, 18 -20 button - YES I am top heavy, gonna tip over, cause I got little feet... lol hugs

I put on my new size 16/18 jeans (was a size 24) and my black v-neck tee shirt, leather jacket and Harley boots... Dog gone it I look GOOD!!!!

Have a wonderful day!!! ~Deb (from Indian Lake) 252.5/212/140 Lap RNY Dr C

Hi Kitty, I read posts all the time, but may be a little lax in posting ongoing stats. I am 2 months out plus 1 week (who's counting?) and down 46 lbs. since surgery. Surgery day 274, last thursday 228#. I am so excited about this. I've spent the last couple hours going through my closet and taking things out that are too big! I haven't taken measurements and hadn't before surgery, so mainly go by clothes and how they fit. The nicest thing is that several people have told me that I have a glow about me that I didn't have before the surgery. I think I might have emailed you before, I work on North Main 2 or 3 days a week-so not far from Englewood. Give me a hollar sometime. Chris

Hi Kitty, Nice to see you doing so well. You've really lost a bunch! I'm down 92 pounds since my surgery and I feel better everyday! I refuse to buy many clothes since I don't seem to be in them long before they are to big, but that's about the only complaint that I have! Happy Happy Me! Cathy
