Hi everyone in OH..I finally broke the 100#s GONE!!! I am down to 185.5 lbs from 289.  I feel GREAT!! I am down to  size 14/16 and L/XL in shirts.  I hit a plateau for almost 3 weeks just trying to get down to 189 but I finally hit it and I am back to shedding lbs again.  I can eat meats now well chicken, fish and turkey, some pork...I'm cant wait to see the Dr. in two weeks so that they can increase me to the next phase where I can eat fruits again..I miss eating fruits.  I have another 10lbs to loose before I can eat them...Well tty all later..Have a WONDERFUL MEMORIAL WEEKEND!!!

Hi OH Fam,

Sorry that I havent posted in a while but been very busy with work and family.  I am happy to say that I am only 2 lbs away from loosing 100 lbs. and I feel GREAT!!!.. I am down from a size 26/28 to a size 16 in pants...3XL on shirts to a L/XL depending on the cut.  I had to update my license picture and employment ID because I look soo different.  Starting to eat a little bit of meat no beef though..I am getting the foamies...(not sure if spelling is correct).  I love fish sticks can eat 2 now with a handfull of salad drenched in dressing..lol...My sisters saw me for the first time since last August and boy did they cry, they couldnt believe how much weight I have lost.  Well gotta go ...promise to update more often...

Hi everyone..I went to see my surgeon..I was moved to the next phase of the diet which I will stay on until I have lost 75% of EWL.  I couldn't wait to be able to eat veggies now I can't figure out what to eat. The nut has banned me from soups, but heck if that is all I can tolerate what am I gonna do? I have had cream of brocolli cheddar soup it was ok. Love Outback Steakhouse's Cream of Onion Cheddar soup, yummy.  I am hooked on pistachios eat about 15 with no problems. I tried eating a baked potato, (I didnt know I wasnt allowed to eat that) I was throwing up for the rest of the night. I'm also hooked on iced coffee. Well keep you all updated, hopefully it wont take long again. Happy Valentines Day OH fam!!!

Im down another 7#s. Feeling great, go to see the Dr next week, Been very busy, constantly reminding myself to eat. Just found I can have creamy peanut butter it was hard to acquire the taste but I can eat it now. Got tired of the Muscle Milk and yogurt. but I am starting to experiment with new way of preparing my foods. Well gotta go talk to you all later.

Hi everyone, Sorry that I haven't posted lately, but I have been on updating my weight and measurements. I'm down to 232.5, size 20/22 in jeans and 2x is starting to fit loose in tops. My only problem lately is that one of my incisions appear to be red and the size of a silver dollar (this is the one that still had the inside stitch slightly out through a little hole). Dr. wants me to schedule an appt to see me Monday but the clinic is closed. Will touch base again later soon.

Hi everyone, I am glad to say that as of today, I am down 51#lbs from my heaviest weight of 289. I have lost 2 in since last saturday all over my body. I am down from a size 26/28 to a size 22 but it is starting to fit me loose a 20 fits me a lil tight for my taste. Down 1.5 shoe sizes from a 10 to an 8.5. I am up to 30 mins on my treadmill 4 times a week. I have had many episodes of vomiting cant seem to eat any puree foods, stuck on protein shakes, yogurt, jello and my all so great SF ice pops. Dont like cottage cheese as much anymore, eggs are ok but can only have it once a week leaving me with tilapia, wonton and egg drop soup. I love the 2:1 Oatmeal flavored Protein bars. Crystal Light Lemonade, Decaf Tea and coffee with Half and Half. I feel miserable at times and frustrated but I remind myself why I did WLS and cheer right back up. I read all your guys post and if it wasnt for OH I would have no idea what to do with myself. Alot of you guys are going thru the same as I am and I read all your posts and I feel better knowing that we are to go thru what I am going thru and that it all shall pass. Thank you all for your feedback and thanks OH for creating this site for us. Well, thats all for now, Ive babbled enough for now. TTYS..Yolanda

Hi All..well Im off to shedding lbs again..Lost 2# after nearly a week of a stand still. I wanna wish all my OH Fam a Merry Xmas. Yolanda

Hi all, I am stomped and don't know if I did anything wrong. I was placed on the Phase III of the diet and immediately stopped dropping lbs like I was before. Is this normal? Ive been the same weight now for 5 days now and before I was loosing 1.4# per day...I was constipated for a week had to take a laxative. And had my first episode of vomiting yesterday.  I get fatigued very easily and cant tolerate puree food very well...Plz advice!!!! Sorry if I'm giving too much info...Yolanda

Well, I went to see Dr. Szomstein today then the nutritionist. I was leveled up to Phase III and I can start taking my vitamins , on Monday. I weighed in at 254# that makes it 22# lost since surgery on the 7th. I tried egg and ham fritatta had 2 small bites and my pouch was wondering what I was doing so here came the bloating pain. So I stopped and my grandson ate it all.  I went to Publix and got me some veggan chicken, wings, and crumbled boca, tried a bit of the chicken didn't like it..I rather stay in liquids..However, I did buy Fiber One Yogurts, key Lime, Vanilla, Strawberry and Peach flavors. They are nice and creamy and only 2g of Sugar, 14g of Protein. I had the key Lime and it was to die for soo that was dinner. Well I gotta go...Good Luck to all. Yolanda

Hi all....Well, I'm home from the hospital...all went well..cant keep anything down but hey gotta keep trying. I will see the doctor on Wednesday for my surgery follow up..The staff at the hospital were AMAZING! I cant complain at all about them. r. Szomstein was so tentative, and answered all questions I threw his way and very caring. I couldn't have chosen a better doctor. I am not going to lie, I have lots of discomfort and pain but I was never told it was going to be an easy journey. I have a hard time drinking more than 1 oz of my shake and maybe have the most 10 oz of liquid all day. Hope this will change! I know i can turn to my friends here at OH for help and guidance. I would appreciate any inputs y'all may have so that I can get thru this...On the good side..Ive lost another 4#..Boy its good to be a Looser now..lol..well gotta go talk to you guys soon...Yoly
