Calling all February 2007 Surgery Sistahs & Brothers!!!

So the February 2007 Surgery board is lacking some energy - have you checked in lately??  I have heard folks say their surgery sisters and brothers are a main source of support.  Take a minute, check in and let's get this board hoppin'!!!  We're keepin' the light on for ya'.....

I am here!! Doing well, not as much weight loss as you it looks like....but getting there. I had an issue with my thyroid.  I am not really having any major issues....maybe lacking some variety....but I am ok with eating the same things..since I know they are ok for me. Still can't eat alot of meat. Dark chicken is about the only one I can tolerate. But I love my veggies!! I am getting in my water and protein. Some days better than others. Some days I have to do 2 protein shkes...just to make sure. Still walking also. I don't regret having this surgery one bit!!!! I would do it over again in a heartbeat.

I went and checked out your profile....my goodness..You look awesome. How the heck did ya lose so much in  3.5 months? I didn't think I was that far behind.... I noticed in your close up......no double chin..what did ya do to get rid of that....I am thinking mine is gonna be baggy..lol

Thank you so much Deborah and congraulations on your success as well!  Re: the double chin - I don't know how I did that - my body just lost weight there too.  I would like to say it was some exercise, but in truth - it just happened.  I still have a little excess - but nothing in comparison to my before picture.  I believe it was when I hit the 60 lb mark or so.   Come visit our board specifically for Feb 2007 surgery folks at :  http://www.obesityhelp.com/forums/02-2007/ You will find there is a wide range of loss speed.  What I have heard is that we all even out by the end of the one year mark.  Talk to ya soon!  Shelley J.
