I'm Back

Hi all! I'm back I have had the worst 3 months but I'm better now and back in action!!!! LOL I have gone from 309lbs day of surgery to 258lbs as of 9-11-07 so I'm doing well. I can't eat alot of different foods but I do OK. I am Lactose intolerant and have Kidney stones right now but things are looking up!!     I am very glad school is back in and I am spending more time with my family, we have gone camping, fishing, and for walks things that have been very hard for me to do for the past 3 years. It feels great!!!!!!    I hope everyone is well and God bless you all for being there for me when I was down!!!                             Marie

Congrats on your sucess so far.  Keep up the good work, that is great you are able to do things you could not do before!  Enjoy your journey.  Good luck!

Congrats, must be a great feeling to be active with things like camping with family.  I have a question if you don't mind.  You mentioned kidney stones.  Is that something that is a complication from the WLS and the related diet?  Did you have them before the surgery?  I only ask because I am beginning the process of getting approved for WLS.  I have a bad history with kidney stones already.  I would be concerned if the WLS would make them worse.  I just assumed it would improve because of the changes I would be making to my diet.  I pray that things will continue to only improve for you.  Take care and God Bless
