Congrats on the milestone of being under 300. I started my journey at 330, So I completely understand that enthusiam. I am 4 months post op and I am at 250. It amazes me that 4 months ago I couldnt weigh myself on my scale cause I was to heavy. God Bless you

Hi everyone Just wanted to let every one know that every things going fine, at my check up on the 25th I had lost 27 pounds in less than 3 weeks I was very proud of that. I was even more excited when I steped on the sacles a few days lateer and was down under 300 pounds for the first time in over 5 years. It's 4 weeks post -op today and I have lost about 35 pounds that means I only have 165 more to loose. If it will come off as easily as the first have I got it made, for some reason though I have been having trouble with vomiting after I eat. I don't know if it's what I eat or if I ate to fast or what.Well I gotta go for now.

Hi all. Well This is the first time that I have been at home since my surery. (I went to my in-laws to recover) Thank you to every one who posted to me I really appreciate your comments and prayers (they worked). I had to spend an extra night in the hospital because I kept running a fever of anywhere for 101.4 - 102.4 any way they gave me tylenol suppositories (what fun) to bring it down. My surgery was June 6, 2002 and it has been very interesting. It's amazing that I never get hungry that really different. It's a little hard to find foods that I want to eat. I don't know how much I have lost yet, I refuse to weigh until I go back for my check up on the 25. well I have to go now but I will post again one day next week.

I thought I'd stop by and say I hope your surgery went well, and that you are up and out and about again in no time at all. You are still in my thoughts and my prayers. Cathy Whitmer
