Topic: RE: I'm at my 6 month anniversary
I have to have structure when I diet and this diet has structure, but it tells you what to eat and has recipes too. The first 2 weeks are strick, but you lose a lot, expecially in your stomach. You can stay on it longer if you want, which I'm going to do, it's been almost 2 weeks. I've lost 13 lbs. already, which is the good news, the bad news is, my new clothes I just bought and getting too big and I wanted them to last most of the summer, but I reather have the wait off. Now that I'm on this diet, I don't eat as much, which is a good thing. Good luck and let me know how you are doing on this diet. Our operation was a tool, but it's up to us to know how to use it, and it gets us over the largest portion of our weight. email me soon. Bonita
Topic: RE: 6+ months and 70lbs!
it is so cool to meet someone who is about the same as me i am 5' 4" and i was 257 when i had my surgery. i am down about 84 lbs. i weighed in at the doctors yesterday at 173 its so awsome. makes me feel great. i am wearing a size 12 a little baggy your inspiring me to go buy a size 10 or to at least go try one on. LOL! i just baught cloths for the first time since surgery, i had some smaller things from losing and regaining over the years. But a size 12 havent beed there since just after hight school. this is the greatest thing i have ever done for me too, and also wish i would have done it a lot sooner. Good luck to you in the rest of your journey. and God Bless is all you do. Margaret (Peggy)

thanks for the replies.
Yes I am going to go see my dr this morningto have my levels done. I went 2 months ago and all was great. I know I have been working a lot but I am not sleeping good. I am up all night with sweats. I do have a thryoid prob. The dr wants me to see a specialist itf things arent stright this time. I will et you know how things go. I did ask my doc if I should be taking b 12 when I was in a few months agao he said no at that time but maybe its time now. My hair is still falling out in gobs every day. I hope this gets stright too.
thanks and god bless!
Topic: 6 months today!
Today I am six months out and down 78 lbs! I went from 244 (size 20-22) to 166 (size 12-14) I am doing pretty well. Although I am going to have to have my gallbladder taken out on the 7th of June and i just got over a bout w/kidney stones. But it was all worth it! My goal weight is 112! If I don't make it there, that's ok. I am still smaller than before surgery. My hair has just begun to fall out but to tell you the truth, my hair is sooooooo thick that you can't even tell. But I don't mind, it's almost summer and maybe it will be a little cooler for me. Hope everyone is going great on their weight loss journey!
