I am doing great!  I just hit 104 lbs. lost this week!!  I will be @ my goal after I lose 46 lbs more.  I feel really good. I feel like I am a normal person now. I am just a healthier eater.  The portions totally don't bother me because I can't eat too much at once anyways.  I love Subways wraps w/ turkey & lots of veggies. I usually finish almost half of one.  I have had a few drinks on ocassion. I have not ever had any problems w/ any food or drinks. I have never thrown up either, thank God!  I rarely eat sugar. Maybe a bite of something if I really want it but thats all I need, just a bite to fulfill the craveing.  Anyways so far so good. I am so happy I did this. My husband is so proud of me & loves the weight loss too. I'll write back when I weigh in under 200 lbs.

I just had my 4 month anniversary last week on 10/5 & I am doing great.  I have lost a total of 85lbs.  I lost 10 before my surgery & 75 since June 5th 2007.   I am eating more of a variety than I thought I would be after this surgery.  I love turkey,swiss,onion & avocado rolled up together,cottage cheese, & any kind of salad. I just make sure I chew up the lettuce really well.  It is so funny because before surgery a salad was never my 1st choice of a meal but since surgery I love salads.  I do still struggle with my fluid intake & some days I only get in about 55 oz.  I need to work on this. Also, protein intake is not always as high as it should be but I just keep on trying.  I am lucky because my mom and I both had this surgery 5 days apart.  We have eachother to go through this with.  My mom is doing great too.  Everyone is really starting to notice my weight loss.  I am down from a size 26/28 to a 18/20 & that feels good.   I will update again soon maybe next time I will be in the 100's.

  My surgery was on June 5, 2007. I had the laproscopic Roux en y.  I weighed in at exactly 300 lbs. the morning of surgery.  I stayed in the hospital for 2 nights. Everything went great!  I did the liquid diet for 2 weeks then moved on to pureed foods.  I am not ever hungry. How weird is that? I feel great.  I have lost about 21 lbs. in the 1st month.  I actually have stayed about the same for the last week & a half.  I'm not sure why. I am a little disappointed with this.  I guess I need to start a daily exercise routine. I kinda thought I would have lost a little more at this point.  I am still very excited about my new lighter life but of course am very anxious to get there.  I have not gotten sick  from anything I have eaten so far.  I am really having to work hard to reach my liquid goal.  Water is quite boring!  Also, protein is a little tough at this point to to get enough of.  Anyways so far so good.
