Hey Everyone :)

Just thought I'd check in an see how everyone is doing. I am just shy of 3 weeks out now and doing great...45 lbs down. The whole eating thing is a pain in the a$$ cuz it's difficult, but it's really not all that bad I suppose. I hope everyone's doing good for those of you who are post ops, whats been the hardest part of the whole thing? Shannon

Hi Shannon! Im still a pre-op but i just HAD to tell you that im so proud of you!!!!! Losing 45 pounds in 3 weeks??!?!?! Congradulations!!!!!!!! How fun!!!!!!!!! ~Amy

Shannon, Im proud of you, keep it up you little loser! keep us updated

yea..congrats shannon...wow i hope when i'm 3 weeks out i'll loose as much as you did keep up the GREAT work girl... ~jen

Hey Shannon!!! I'm so happy to hear that you are doing well! I knew that everything would go great for you because of how determined you are! Everything is great here I don't have any problems with anything! I feel very lucky and greatful that everything is going so well! My hardest thing i****ting plateaus, I wont lose for like two and a half weeks and then I lose like 8 pounds in one week. I'm so happy just to keep losing. Another hard thing is when you order something you really like and then on that day you're only able to take like 2 bites and you're really full. Some days I can eat about 4 bites it just depends on the day. I always think it's a plus though because then I can eat my left overs for like a week, at the time it's a bit disapointing. Well again I'm so happy for you!!! You Go girl! Keep up the great success! Stacy

Well i think the hardest part for me is having to wait for the weight to come off....and the stuff i dont like is the not being able to drink soda...not eating hamburgers and bread....i just tried salad though and its perfect..gotta get use to eating only 3 times a day!!!! hard lol Rachael
