HEY KELLIE,             DANGGGGGGG!!!! WHAT A WEEK YOU HAD.... YOU KNOCKED IT OUT OF THE BALL PARK THERE!! I WOULD SO FREAK OUT FOR SURE.... MY BREAST DONT SWELL UP TO BAD DURING MY PERIOD... HECK, THEY CANT DO NOTHING BUT GO DOWN HILL... SO THEY SWELL AND FALL LOL... KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!! HUGS MARGE

Hey Marge, I like Aunt Flo now - only because that seems to be when I lose the most weight. Well, I got down to 355 this week, but it didn't show on the scale today.  I probably  have some water retention from the Halloween party we went to Saturday.  It was fun except that I was the only person there not drinking.  I did eat before we left, but by 4 or 5 am I was hungry again and the snacks at the party were all sweets or salty.  I had salty.  I had a little more salty than I should have.   I need to remember to bring my own snacks to things like this, but I had no idea we wouldn't leave until almost 6 am.   I am also not drinking enough.  I have got to be better about that.  Its the hardest part of this, which is weird, because before surgery I easily drank 80oz of water per day.  Now it hurts the pouchy to drink water at all, unless I have lime or lemon juice in it - then its just moderately uncomfortable.  So here's the damage Highest weight 445
Consultation weight 440
Surgery weight 402
Last week 358.6
This morning: 356.6 (-2 lbs)  Hopefully next week I'll have a big loss to report - between my period and getting rid of some swelling I want to be in the 340s.  Haha.  A girl can hope. 

OK DUNNY,        I NEED TO CHECK YOUR HEAD FOR A BRAIN ILLNESS.... LOL NEVER KNEW SOMEONE TO ACTUALLY LIKE AUNT FLO LOL... BUT CAN TOTALLY UNDERSTAND IF HELPS TO LOSE... AINT NEVER SEEN THAT ONE BEFORE EITHER.... DONT YA HATE IT WHEN YOU GO SOMEWHERE AND THERES NOTHING THERE FOR YOU TO EAT THATS HEALTHY WISE? BUT I HAVE TO SAY YOU DONE YOUR BEST.... SALTY OVER SWEETS WAS A WINNER....TWO POUNDS AINT NOTHING TO SNEEZE AT EITHER.... HUGS MARGE

Hi Marge,     Needless to say, I had a super fantastic weekend:                              CONGRATULATIONS RED SOX!! I struggled at the exact same weight, to the tenth of a pound from Tuesday until this morning, when I finally dropped a pound. Probably in relief of our victory. So here's my stats: Pre-op: 414 Surgery: 373 Last week: 331 This week: 328 Loss this week: 3 pounds Still feeling high with the rest of Boston , -Julie

Congratulations to the Sox on their SECOND World Series Sweep.  I knew that 8-day break was going to bite the Rockies in the bottom.  I can't say we watched much of the games, it was too depressing.  I really wanted to keep up the decade trend of having a different team win the World Series each year BUT if a team has to repeat, I'm glad its Boston, for the sake of their incredibly loyal and crazy fans.  And as long as the Yankees don't win, its been a good year for baseball

HEY JULIE,           GO  RED SOCKS!!!  SORRY KIX....LOL... HEY GIRL, THREE POUNDS  IS AWESOME.... WHO HOO!!! KEEP THAT UP... HUGS MARGE

Hello everyone!  I just found this board, and I hope it's okay if I join in the fun!  I'm 2 1/2 months out and feeling great! Beginning weight:  365 Surgery weight:  350 Last week:  307 This week:   302.8 Since surgery (8/06/07):  47.8lbs Total:  62.2lbs I hit 299 for about 5 minutes on Saturday, but I'm retaining water.  Don't know why I even go into my bathroom anymore since nothing seems to happen in there:)  That was way too much information for a first timer! Debbie

Hi Debbie!  We had surgery on the same day, it must be a lucky day.   Welcome to the BMI over 50 board (the best board around!).  Congratulations on hitting 299, even for a brief moment! 

I agree it was a lucky day!  I think I'll be hanging around on this board a lot.  The best thing about my  brief experience with 299 is that I know it's just a matter of time before it comes around again:)

HEY DEBBIE,       WELCOME ABOARD... WE ARE AS PROUD AS PUMPKIN PIE (SUGAR FREE OF CORSE LOL) TO HAVE NEWBIES HERE.... SO YOU JOIN IN AND GLAD TO SEE YA..... MAN, YOU HAD A GREAT WEEK LOSING!!! KEEP IT UP! HUGS MARGE
