RE: HOW MUCH HAVE YOU LOST? ... LCBBuddies ... MID & UPSTATE

Hi Dawn. I'm waiting for my surgery date. I am in the midlands. Heidi

I added you, ms heidi ...

HEY, WE'RE WEIGHT-LOSS TWINS! I'VE BEEN ON 57 #s FOREVER! BUT, NOT COMPLAINING!

Hello Lady D.... I have lost about 185 pounds.... I am from the mid state.. I live just outside of Columbia.... Brenda..

Thanks ... I added you, ms brenda! You have lost the most out of everyone so far!!!!

33 #s for me........(last time I weighed). I refuse to weigh myself until I know I have lost some pounds. I haven't lost any weight in 4 weeks and I am 6 weeks out. Don't want to get discouraged any further.

WE ALLLLL WENT THROUGH THE SAME THING, MS TINA ... ONCE YOUR BODY LOSES THE 1st LARGE AMOUNT(S), IT HAS TO READJUST ITSELF. THAT'S WHEN YOU'LL LOSE INCHES & CLOTHING SIZES. BY ABOUT THE 3rd STALL, YOU'LL LEARN TO MAKE THEM YOUR "FRIEND" UNDERSTANDING THE DYNAMICS OF HOW YOUR BODY WORKS. THE GREAT THING IS THAT THESE AREN'T LIKE THE PLATEAUS WE ARE SO USED TO WITH CONVENTIONAL DIETING IN WHICH YOU NEVER LOSE WEIGHT AGAIN. THESE ARE SMALL STALLS FOR YOUR BODY TO GET BACK IN BALANCE. THE STALL WILL END; THE WEIGHT WILL CONTINUE TO COME OFF AGAIN. IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE THIS, JUST LOOK AT THE HUGE WEIGHT-LOSS #s ON THE LIST I'M KEEPING FOR THE SC BOARD. EVERY ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE HIT STALL AFTER STALL, & ARE STILL LOSING WEIGHT. IF A WLS PATIENT DOESN'T MAKE "FRIENDS" WITH THE RHYTHM OF THIS NEW WEIGHT LOSS PROCESS, THEY WILL BE MISERABLE NO MATTER HOW MUCH WEIGHT THEY LOSE. HOW SAD. SO, CONGRATS ON THE BIG 3-3 !!!!! YOU'RE ON THE LIST & WE'RE LOOKING FOR BIG SUCCESSES FROM YOU! GOD BLESS DAWN & NICK
