Its that time again..Sunday weigh in.....
This is amazing to me, surgery date Aug 23/ 2010.....to Sept 26/2010 loss of 43 lbs..plus 21 before surgery to a total of 64 lbs..my BMI has gone from 54.7 presurgery to 43.5. I cannot tell you all how good I do feel, less aches and pains, with much improved mobility!!!!  When I went for surgery the clothes I was wearing were a snug 26/28. At coffee group I was given some clothes in the 18/20 size and ..............you guessed it >>>>>>>> THEY FIT!!!  snugg but not too tight.  I want to thank everyone for their continued support, especially our Coffee group, It means so much to be part of such a positive community!!
***On a less positive note, I am still having problems keeping food down...and it is getting worse,  the whole thing is causing me some stress, there are so many reasons for this!!  I am sure now though, that it is not a caused by eating to fast...not chewing or eating too much...I am calling my surgeon tommorrow to see what the problem is, possibly a stricture or ??
Wonderful seeing everyone Sat....I will be missing the next 3 coffee groups...as I have vacation planned.  Keep up  the good work!!
Hugs Beverly

Once again I attended the sat coffee group, this time in Eagan! You folks are wonderful, enspiring and so darn full of great tips! Thanks for all your help. I enjoy meeting everyone.
I recommend everyone attend these groups...the support is amazing.
I have decided to weigh in on sunday nights...and with my newly purchaced digital scale, I am pleased to announce a loss of 57.8 pounds ( 36.8 since surgery)  August 23/10. I am already feeling so darn good...sassy even...laughing!!! Moving into smaller clothing..and hunting through my closets...looking for the clothes I stuck away for "someday when i loose weight!!!" Have a great week...beverly

Hi all......just dropping in to say how wonderful it was to be invited by other OH members to join in on a coffee group in Burnsville  MN.  I loved it!!  how nice to be surrounded by people who understand exactly what you are going through! I am already looking forward to next Sat in Egan.  After that I will be back to work and will only be able to attend every second week.  I really encourage everyone to try and attend a group like this...such friendly helpful people.
I am being more successful in my diet changes,,,thank goodness! Thanks to everybodies suggestions and tips I am having more good days than bad.  At my first post op Dr's Appointment I discovered a 24 pound weight loss since since surgery, add that to the 21 I lost before and it makes an impressive number...smiles!  I already feel better and clothes are fitting looser.
Life is good today~~~~  smiles
talk soon

Today is September 4th and i am please to have found this site and a community of such helpful folks.  I had my surgery Aug 23 /10  with a start weight of 297  after loosing 21 pounds preop.  I have been having difficulty switching from the full liquid post op diet to  the soft food stage....yuk!  Did I mention that I hate being sick.....ok  I am a baby.....but sheeeeeesh!
I am searching for the magic portion size  and food types.....keep drinking the water and protien shakes!!
Lets hope tomorrow is a better day ~~   smiles
