My 3 month check up

Hey sweet lady! I think there might be a problem with the emails. I have sent several out and I do not think anyone is getting them. I am so glad to hear from you! I hope your weightloss is going well. I hope you and your family had a wonderful Christmas and New Year! Love ya! Kimberly

WTG Kimberly, I know you are so happy, and that hubby of yours is to. I just only wish I could lose 65 lbs within 3 months. I know I won't be there, I lost 12 before surgery and have lost 32.5 in the last 12 weeks(Monday) I go back January 17th and I know they are not going to be happy with me, because they(Dr. Rashid) told me at 1 month out I hadn't lost enough (-20) and said that they wanted to not recognize me when I come in for my 3 month. Well it's been a little over a month since I seen them and I've only lost 12.5 lbs. I'm not complaining because I am now under 200 and I've lost 11 inches in my waist, 3 in hips and 4 in boobs. Then on the other hand I have my PCP telling me I'm not getting in enough calories (DUH I know that) and I'm losing to fast , go figure. It's hard for me on the protein and liquids, but I'm trying my hardest. I am losing hair to, about 10 a day when I shower, but hey my hair is thick anyway. Best of luck and keep up the great work.

Hey Melissa! I think you are doing great! I lost somewhere around 20 or so within my 1st month. When I went to my 3 month check up, I was almost 4 months post op. I went a couple of weeks where no weight at all came off. I actually put a few pounds on. Just keep your head up and push forward. It will start coming off faster. I found some protein shakes at walmart that really work for me. They are in a silver box, EAS Advant Edge Carb Control. I get the chocolate fudge. They are 11oz, 100 calories, 3g fat, 4 carbs (1 impact carb - have no idea what that means, lol) 0 sugars. Sometimes they go on sale, but they can get expensive if you drink them all the time like I do. I have tried others, but didnt like the taste or the calories were more, so were the sugars. I have to be careful with the sugars. I am very sensitive with that. Remeber to keep positive. You are doing a great job! Hugs!!! Kimberly

Miss Gorgeous Kimberly, I'm so glad to see that you are doing so well. As water drinking, I'm just like you.... don't like drinking much at all.. I wish you and your family all the best in this New Year. I hope your husband is going to be home soon safe and sound, and I'm 100% positivive that you will look stunning for his homecoming. hugs, rita

That is WONDERFUL keep up the good work! Christine 314/253/155 Surgery Date 11/02/05
