well its been 4 months now and I have lost 70 lbs went from 262-191.5 its been a long road but it is worth it . while I was on vacation at the coast i found out I could not eat at my favorite place called the boiling pot cajaun style seafood , it was too spicy and i was sick all night . the best part of the vacation was that this was the first time I did not gain weight,but I lost weight on vaction,it was the best.
my husband and I went walking along the water every morning and evening it was great.
I have met my 6 month goal 2 months early .

hello everybody well it's been a long 9 weeks still not eating a whole lot not keeping a lot down , but the bright side i've lost a 54 lb according to my scale
i have found out when it's hot out i need to carry a misting bottle or a cold wrap with me or I will fall out. but I'm doing well .
i'm going to a family reunion in a week I have not seen them in about five years. it's going to be a experience. but the good thing is I have a cousin who is a surgeon there. who can look after me if something goes wrong.
need to walk more.

well I'm 12 days post-op and had to make an appt. with doctor because one of the areas where they went in at was draining and real red. when they looked at it they said I was having a reaction to the metal in the staple. took all staples out did not hurt like i thought it would. still getting in allmy meds. and all 80 oz of water in and doing all my walking without a problem .
but that gallstone med is nasty because you have to open up the capsule and mix it witha drink or food it has a bad taste. doing great. have 2 week appt. on thursday. be back then
