I am down 57lbs now love it . I am feeling much better. It interesting the foods I can and cannot eat. Today I was able to eat spicey pork, rice, beans, sour cream and a small peice of icecream cake. I have been working out about 4 to 5 times a week. and over the last month lost about 6 pounds or so. Have lost quite a bit of hair recently, scarey, however now working to get the 60 to 80 grams of protein that is recommended by my doctor.

I HAVE BEEN GETTING USED TO MY LIFESTYLE CHANGES, SOME DAYS ARE EASIER THAN OTHERS, SOME DAYS I STILL TEST TO SEE IF I CAN EAT PARTICULAR FOODS, HOWEVER LEARN QUICKLEY NOT TO GO OUTSIDE OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS.
I HAVE LOST 50 IBS NOW,AND THE ONLY WAY I NOTICE THE DIFFERENCE IS BY THE SMALLER CLOTHES SIZES, AND ALL THE POSITIVE COMMENTS FROM OTHERS.
I FEEL SO MUCH BETTER THAN I HAVE IN A LONG TIME. MY ENERGY LEVEL HAS INCREASED ALOT.MY DAUGHTER MADE A COMMENT THAT MY SHELF ON MY BACKSIDE IS GONE. I SAID THANKS I THINK LOL. BE BACK SOON!!!!!!!

WELL ITS BEEN 2 DAYS SINCE MY SURGERY I FEEL BETTER THAN I EXPECTED. I AM HAPPY I DID IT. EATING THIS NEW WAY IN TINY LITTLE CUPS IS WEIRD FOR ME WHEN MY HUSBAND IS EATING 4 LOADED HOTDOGS WITH MAYO, TOMATOES, JALOPENOES, CHEESE ETC. RIGHT NEXT TO ME AND I AM OK EATING OUT OF MY LITTLE TINY CUPS.

My Story Hello to everyone,
I have always faught my weight, i remember thinking I was fat wearing a pink, and white bicini in the fourth grade. The image I had of myself then when I looked in the mirror was fat.
I graduated from high school weighing 205 lbs, lost 50 lbs over the next 2 years as I became very active going to beauty school,
and working full time. kept my weight down to between 145-160 for the next couple of years.
started to gain weight , going on every new diet that came along dexitrim, diets pills like redux phen phen and more, diet drinks, cabbage soup diet, wafer diet, weight watchers, nutri system ,starvation diets, la weight loss, i even tried throwing up for a while. many of these diets I would try again, and again my weight would fluctuate from under 200 and over 200 for years, I really did a number on my body and never got anywhere that I was happy with.
In my 30's my doctor mentioned weight loss surgury, at that time I was at 267 my highest weight ever feeling disgusted, I asked for another diet pill. my doctor said would you ever consider weight loss surgury? I said no I would never cut int my body to lose weight but I was willing to take more pills though. Kind of humorous as I look back now.
Over time my weight was climbing, I was becoming more tired, my body hurt all over. I realized I have a real problem, and it was time to consider weight loss surgury. Couldnt beleive I was looking into it. As much as I love my Salon work, I havnt had the energy I desire and need for the years that I want to have fun with my work, husband, daughter, co-workers, family, and freinds.
I began reading everything I could on the subject, talking with others who had the procedure done. After 3 years of considering, I decided to move forward with the process, which has taken over a year for myself. First I considered lap band however RNY would be best for me. I know it will be alot of work, my date is scheduled for 4-24-2008 with Dr. Drew. my goal is to lose 150lbs talk to you all soon Laura
