Question for Chele

Hi Chele, you had surgery 3 days after me, I am curious how much weight you have lost. I am 58 do you mind me asking how old you are. Sometimes I think age has a lot to do with the amount of weight loss. Sometimes I have to force myself to eat and I can only eat small amounts. With my protein shakes I am getting enough protein, but without them I wouldn't. I have lost about 47 lbs. since surgery and 51 since my highest weight. I am really starting to get comments from people, and have gone down 2 sizes in clothes. I am wearing mostly baggy clothes, I hate to keep buying clothes that will be too big in a month. Take care Rosemary

I'm not Chele,but I had surgery the day before you. You emailed me when I got my surgery date, and I so appreciated your careing. I am 55. I have lost 50 pounds since surgery. So I'd say you are right one track. Hazel

Hi Rosemary... I have lost 51 lbs since Jan 23rd. I will be 39 on April 27th. I don't force myself to eat, but I am a firm believer in protein shakes. I don't see how anyone can get enough protein without protein supplementation, but that is JMO. I can tell you that without them, I certainly would NOT get enough. My pouch has a capacity of 2ccs. I'm out of my biggest clothes and into clothes that are 3 and 4 years old, since my weight has gone up and down over the years...repeatedly, after each dieting attempt. It's nice that I don't have to shop for any clothes in that respect. Chele

Thanks to hazel and Chele for responding. I agree about the protein shakes, some times I get sick of them, but I can't get in my protein without them. Take care Rosemary
