Hello everyone, I sure miss talking to you all on a daily basis like before the surgery. Life is really great now. I am planning my wedding. I just got my wedding dress, and I love it! I am down from a size 28 to a 14 and have lost 130 pounds in 11 months. I still have about 60 pounds left before I get to my goal, and it isn't coming off! Did anyone ever join weight watchers to get the rest of their weight off! I think the surgery has done all it is going to do and the rest is up to me. Any ideas, please let me know!! Thanks

Lauren--Hi, I am not far away from you--in Rockland County, NY. My stats are pretty similar to yours, too--started at 335, had my open RNY on 7/25/02. I am down to 227. Doesn't it feel just great? I am going on vacation today, to Disney World. Last time I was there, I was afraid to even try to go on rides, cause I wouldn't have fit. This time, I can't wait! Hope you have a wonderful holiday season! Email me anytime you like. My profile is here.

Hello Everyone, I just turned 5 months post-op this week!!! I feel great, mentally and physically. I have lost a total of 90 pounds, from 338 to 248. Wow, it feels like a dream!! I am still big, but feeling more normal, acceptable, and sexier (hehe) everyday! I am a bit out of touch with you great people of my AMOS family. It is so weird I was so involved in this AMOS life pre-op, and shortly after post-op, but feel out of touch now. I miss talking to all of you, so if anyone would like to talk, have questions ect, I would love to talk to you. Just email me, from one AMOS family member to another! Hope to hear from someone soon! Lonely post-op.

Hello, I am 2 months post op tomorrow! I feel really great. I started back at work with the kids last week. They are so great. I really lucked out! I am not as tired as I thought I would be. I have lost 45 pounds and 27 inches! I am very happy happy with this weight loss, and I feel great! So guess what? I JOINED A GYM YESTERDAY!!!! I have my first appointment with the personal trainer today. Joe also joined with me for support, plus he can use to get in shape also. Well, Just wanted to check in. Hope everyone is doing well. I love you all!

Just wanted to drop a note to say CONGRADULATIONS on your weight loss so far. Allie Fraley is my sister and as you know she will be having surgery at the end of the month. I will keep you both in my prayers and way to go so far. Just wait by christmas you will need a whole new wardrobe. God Bless!

Lauren - Greetings from San Jose, California! I'm glad to hear that your surgery went well and that you are at home! I'd like to recommend the Leslie Sansone - Walking/marching videos. I got them for my mother & father-in-law who live in Oregon. They get tons of rain where they live and are unable to do the walking they need to - to keep dad's blodd sugar levels down. They really have found them to be a great substitute for getting outside. I currently use the treadmill at work - to walk, but plan to use the videos myself when I'm home following my surgery (September 17th!) I know I won't want to go outdoors either! Hope you'll continue to make great progress! God bless you!

Hey everyone, I am doing great! Your all such wonderful people here at AMOS. You understand me more than anyone else...We are all family. Well, I just wanted to update everyone and let you know that I am eating a lot of protein (sick of it) and having a hard time with exercise. Here in Jersey, it has been so, so HOT. I am to lazy to go out in the heat. I am going back to work soon and hoping to join a gym. I have lost a total of 36 pounds in 1 month and 5 days. I feel good except for the exercise stuff. If anyone has any advice please let me know...
