Congrats!  WTG!!!!    You are an inspiration to people like me, starting out where you were and where you are now.  What a way to go!  Keep up the good work. Beth

It is hard to believe that real soon I will be under 300 lbs. I am almost in tears as I type this. It has been so long since I have been under 300 lbs. I am guessing 7th grade. So we are talking about 30 years.  My stomach has been sick all weekend so I haven't really ate much. Plus I went grocery shopping and shoes shopping for about 5 hours this weekend. 2 malls and 3 grocery stores. My body did not tire out at all. However, because I had on shoes for a person weighing 362 lbs, my feet didn't hurt they were just tired from being in shoes that were too big. But I felt great. Never once was out of breath.  OMG....I just realized what made me sick. I had some of my sons fat free yogurt smoothie from smoothie king. I said before I took some. I  hope this doesn't make me sick. I didn't pulk it just made me fill.....funny BEGINNING WEIGHT-362(01/13/07) SURGERY WEIGHT-357(01/19/07-the day released from hospital) LAST WEEK-310 THIS WEEK-304

I know what you mean about getting under 300 pounds. I remember being around 330 when I was in the 7 and 8th grade. My mother made me go to weigh****chers and or forced me to go on a liquid diet. I am also so thankful for this surgery because it has given me my life back and I know it is nothing but God. Well I will be watch because next week you will be writing that not I am under 300 and I will be shouting an dancing right along with you. Keep up the good work Lorraine

Lorraine Thank you so much. It is so nice to have someone who truly understands this feeling. I have so many wonderful changes happening in my life since WLS. Mentally, emotionally, and physically.  And I love every single one of them.

Hello Everyone, I was complaining about my slow weight loss, but I realized I wasnt getting that much protein in. Being a newbie, I know that is critical, so I have upped my protein. Will get in 80-100g/day. Pray for me! I also am doing 3 days cardio , 2 days with personal trainer. Beginning Weight : 377.7 Surgery Weight: 375 Last Week: 337.8 This Week: 333.6

Marge, after losing 200 lbs, I'm not sure you can call yourself a "heffer" anymore -- you've now downsized to a calf!  Way to go!   I feel like dancing for you!   We had pouring rain in Colorado all day Saturday, but yesterday was such a beautiful day.  The rain washed away all the smog, so the skies were bright blue and it was hot outside.  We ran a bunch of errands over on PJ's side of town, then went on a short drive.  We went by one of the local reservoirs and there were lots of people out boating.  Wish I knew someone with a boat, because I would have invited myself along for the day. I am one happy girl today, the scale finally shifted.  I stood on it twice yesterday and twice today because I didn't believe what it read at first.  Beginning weight: 530 Surgery weight: 407 Last week: 299 This week: 292   Kix
