8-9-03 It been a while things are good. I have lost only 65lb. in 20 weeks. but the inches are comeing off great. Everyone says how good I look. I can wear a 1x top and 16-18 pants , from a 3x and a 24-26.I go to curves every day and I truley enjoy it. I also try to get in the pool with the grandkids every day it nice.They are very happy with nan, that she can do things this summer.We have been to the movies, and to the beach.I can walk on the beach with them and not have to sit every two steps to cheatch my breath. I have had to get a corazone shot for my knee .The Dr. said no matter how much weight I lose I will still have arthris in my knees. The dammage has been done.As long as I can get a shot now and then I won;t cpmplain.I feel better and better every day.I hope this keeps up even if I and loseing slower then others.

6-26-03 Went in the pool with grandkids twice this week .That was one of my dreams, have;t been able to do that for two years with my knees. I also weight my self today, and I;m 228 from 284 at the start of my journey ( THE WEIGHT ON MY PROFILE IS WRONG IT SAYS 260 ) Tomorrow I get my musernents done at curves. I have descovered that there is not much that I eat that I realdy enjoy I eat cause I have to it looks good on the plate but after a few bites that enough, and in away I guess that good.People tell me you look so good but I still don;t see it. I went fron a size 26-28 and a 3x to a 18 -20 thats the only way I feel like I lost.

This tool that I have been given is great When my kids brought my birthday cake the other night. My 10 year old grandaughter asked nana how big is your new tummy, I said about the size of a egg she said nana then your eyes are bigger then you tummy.Got to love them!!. Tomorrow I have a appt. with the nutrisht (SP) and I will start the next stage, it the last stage the DR. requieres it real food , I still can;t envision eating a whole meal with veggs, and starch. I thank god and my family for walking this long road with me.

Went to suport group meeting last night, found out that Dr Ferzoco is moving her practice.She is also expecting a baby in a month or so , so she has cancled all of her surgery till Augest. I sure feel for the people who had dates. If that was me I might have jumped off the roof(ha ha we only have a one story house). Saw some old faces and meet some new people .They are giong to keep the suport group meeting there so that a releaf.I am realy enjoying going to curves to work out( that coming from someone who two months ago had a very hard time going shopping,who had to rest for 2 hr after.) I am so happy that I had this surgery, I get a little upset when the scale does move for a few days but I am going to try to remember that it took time to put the weight on and it will take time for it to come off.I than God every day that I had the good luck to find Dr.Ferzoco when I did.

5-23-03 It been a while sence I last posted . Not to much has changed I still am loseing slow. I went to Curves to day to join, it was a birthday presant to my self. I need to get moveing now that the 8 week waiting that my Dr. requiors (sp )is over. There is a suppot group meeting next week I am looking forward to , I heard thru the grape vine that Dr. Ferzoco is moving her practice. God I hope not I still am on pureed food and it getting real old, I hope that when I see the DR next I can move up to real food.

Denise, you're doing GREAT. It's normal to have a little plateau early on. It's hard on the morale, though, as we just hope to lose at that early speed for a while. If you read my profile, you can see that I got down so many times about the very same thing. What you're feeling is normal. The weight will keep coming off. For me, it's never fast enough but I'm learning grace in accepting each pound. I wish you all the best and keep posting. Love to hear how you're doing!
