Helo everyone! Update!!!!!

I'm six weeks out and feeling wonderful. Down 39 lbs! Can you believe it? I'm in a size 20 jeans, down from a size 26, and my shirts are hanging off of me. I can't believe how fast this is happening. I exercise almost everyday and I feel great most days. Still have some days where I feel weak but I just take a nap and I feel much better afterwards. I'm getting about 40-65g of protein a day. Not able to get a whole lot of water in but I drink all day. Dr. Mikami thought I had a stricture and I had a scope done last Friday but everything was fine, no stricture. I was relieved!

Congratulations -- that is fantastic!

Ellen How have you done since your surgery?

Hi Josie, Thanks for asking As of this morning I am down 31 pounds. I'm getting around well, but not doing a formal exercise program yet. Taking care of my three-year old, plus light housework, is about all I can handle right now. I am looking forward to joining a yoga class or something like that soon.

Josie your doing wonderful. I am down from 272 to 220 in 2 months. I feel great. About the energy. I started feeling great at 7 weeks. It happened over night. I feel great now. You are doing great. Glad your doing so well. Happy Thanksgiving. I will be eating my meal. Just in smaller portions. But yes. I will eat turkey and stuffing Happy T Day Barb

wooohoo Great Josie!

Josie, Sorry its taken me so long to respond. I have just been one busy lady doing a lot of juggling of lifes problems. But I wanted to let you know how proud I am of you. You are doing so wonderful and I am tickled pink for you. You are learning how to use this amazing tool to give yourself a new and improved life. Yes the weight is melting off, but it still takes discipline to make the right food choices and get all your vitties and exercise in. If I hear one more person say this is cheating and the easy way out I will scream.. Keep up the hard work and just wait girly you are gonna be looking and feeling great when summer rolls around this year. Whooo Hoooo!!! Lots of Love and Hugs, Laura 310/162/120
