On Saturday I will be five months out...coincidentally also my brother and neice's b-day party. I feel like I have done very well with this process. Today I am down 110lbs since January. It feels good!!! I saw Dr P the beginning of June and he was very impressed with my labs ;) Then I dropped the bomb on him about not taking vitamin suppliments and he could not believe that my labs we so "excellent" and I had not been taking the suppliments. he suggested to add calcium because I'm a woman. All in all life is good ;) I am excited to see what is in store.

I'm a little behind with the posts. Its Little League season and I am very active with our league. Well I have lost 90 lbs since January. that is good. Dr P cancelled my 3 month appt so I rescheduled it for Jun 5th I dont have any news other than I am trying to stay active. Thanks for everyone and all of your support!!!!

Here I am again two months out now. I feel real good! I have lost a total of 70lbs since Jan 9th. My clothes are falling off and I am feeling a bit more energetic. I hope to break my goal of being under 300lbs by this time next month. I am starting to incorperate more exercise. My living room has become my gym. I have a treadmill in there now and love to work out on it while checkin out my favorite shows. I still tend to feel tired alot but hopefully that will soon start to fade. I am so glad summer is coming I want to swim! I hope everyone is doing as well as I am. I feel very successful! My three month appointment is on May 14th and I hope to walk in the door of the office with a super wightloss. Keep your fingers crossed!

Last Wednesday was one month since surgery. I feel pretty good. According to my home scale I have lost 25 lbs since surgery. I feel good. I have to admit that i am so very tired all of the time. However, next week I can get back on my exercise equipment and that will be great. i also bought a workout video too. I love aerobics! As soon as the water warms up you are not going to be able to keep me out of the lake! I love to swim and and it is the best workout ever!!!! I feel positive and I hope that everyone else is doing great too!

Went to see Dr Patel today and I am down 20lbs since surgery! Yay I get to start solid foods on Wed. That will be interesting... I don't know how I will manage to get extra food on top of the shakes but I guess I will try. I want to be successful. My steri-strips came off and two of my incisions are still open quite a bit they hurt too. They are slowly healing. Thats positive.

Hello guys!

I hope all of you are finding yourselves well. I am one week post op and things are going great. I go see Dr Patel on the 27th so I will get to see my progress then....I'm excited and can't wait! I am finding hard to get n the 64oz of water the 2- 8oz protien shakes and the 1/2 cup of broth all in one day...plus all 6 vitamins. I am hoping it will be more tolerable in a week or so. I am still having some pain but hopefully that will go away soon. I am never hungry so I basicaly eat cause I'm told to...Ive always been the one to follow directions. I am getting 80g of protien each day so I super happy about that. I read the more protien you get the less hairloss you have....and I love my hair! i am really excited what the future holds for me. Summer is coming up and that means Vacation! I cant wait this year to have more energy and stamina than I have had in years...LIFE IS GREAT!

Today I went to see Dr Patel. I had been feeling all week like I wasn't losing. I was right! I followed all my instructions to the "T". I only had a two pound weight loss. The dietician decided to switch things up a little just to get my body to move off of the plateau. I really need to loose 12 more pounds by my surgery date. I do not want to disappoint anyone especially myself. I know that I can do it. I have a good team at home and we will be successful!!! Good luck to all of my "LOSERS"!

on Jan 9th I was placed on the pre op diet...mine consist of 64oz of water....two protein shakes and a palm size meal in the evening.....I feel like I am back on that starvation diet that worked so well about 11yrs ago. I never thought I would back doing this it is pure torture!!! Dr Patel is very confident that this is what I need to do before February 11th I trust him so here I go feet first! So far it is workin good I lost 17lbs in 14 days. Yay 4 me!!! I'll post again soon!
