Well the scale finally moved again, after a month on hiatus, lol!  I thought that I had finally hit a plateau, and then whammy, I went from in between 220-221 to 213 today, so I finally got over that hump, thank God!  I will post some pics soon, if I can ever get on the regular computer, lol, my husband hogs it most of the time, and that is where all of the pics are at.  I can now fit into some 12's, but basically still in a 14, although I can't and most certainly won't complain after all I never though I would be here again in my life.

I went to my 6 month review at the Dr.s and I weighed in at 228!! I also had my measurements done and have lost 10 inches around my waist, and 15 around my hips!!  I am very pleased with the results so far.  I have gone from a size 28 to a 14-16 yeah!!
In fact I can put both legs in one pant leg in my size 28's and my size 26's, that was definately a bonus right there, I never thought I would be able to do that!

I made it to my goal before my 6 month post op visit!  Pics to follow soon, I am so happy!!

Hello out there does anyone know how I can get my Diet Ticker to work?  I have been trying all sorts of ways and it just isn't working.  Any suggestions?  Thanks-Mary

Well, the scale finally moved today, after not moving for almost a week.  I was a little bummed out that it hadn't moved but my clothes were getting looser, so I guess that counts for something.  I dropped another 3 lbs this morning so that brings total lossed up to 47 lbs.  Yay!  I went shopping the other day and bought a size 24 jeans and a 3x top, I was so excited to have dropped 1 pant size and two shirt sizes.  I didn't even try the outfit on, I just brought it home hoping it would fit, and it did!  I was so happy that I called all of my friends to let them know that I had finally got into something smaller! Update coming again soon!  -Mary

Still having a hard time getting all of the protein in, but trying really hard to do so!  We finally got a new scale and I am down another 19 lbs, yeah!!! Thats 37 lbs since I have started.  I am really looking forward to starting the soft food stage since I am not really hungry, but wanting to chew, sounds weird huh?  I have been eating sugar free popscicles to help with not being able to chew and that seems to help quite a bit.  Well I will close by saying the journey has only begun and I am already happy!!!! -Mary

I started my journey in July 2008 at 377 lbs and the day of my surgery I weighed in at 359 lbs,  18 lbs lost so far! Yeah!  My biggest problem right now is the pain from the surgery, I am having a hard time just trying to get in all of my protein and to keep myself hydrated as well.  Dr. Kemmeter did a awsome job and now I am on the road to recovery.  Any suggestions anyone might have for me please feel free to leave a comment or add me as a friend.  Thank you Mary
