Well, I have not wrote in a while.   Doing really well.  Have gone from a size 24 to a 14 thus far and down 80lbs.   Almost under the 200 mark.   Its like torcher to get there but for once I believe I really will.   My only obstacle right now is hair loss.   I am researching some new vitamins so if anyone has any ideas please pass them my way.   Still have not had one sweet in 5 months so this so called dumping syndrome I have not yet experienced.   My energy level has been great.   One of the biggest things I notice is when I get up in the morning.   I seem to bounce right up and am not sluggish any longer.   Going to visit my family in Boston on December 9th really looking forward to seeing them.  

Well, It is 36 days Post Op.  I feel really great.  Better than expected.  My doctor just did a complete blood work
and I just got the results.   I am low in my good cholesterol but everything is great.    The doc says eat lots of Salmon and Tuna.  Well, figures Salmon is the only food that seems to not agree with me at all.   Everything else has been great..   I hope that all continues to go so well.  I am down 30lbs.   I was losing a lb a day until I started exercising.  Kind of weird...lol   I am now trying to walk at least 4 times a week.  I am up to about 3 miles each time.   I am going to start doing some light weights for my arms this week.   Then hopefully by week 6 I can start some stomach exercises.    I am hoping and praying that the rest of this year goes as well as the first 4 weeks.  

Hi Everyone,

Just want to send another update.   I am 3 weeks post op and I feel great.   Nothing out of the ordinary so far.   I am waiting for someting to go wrong but thus far everything has been amazing.  I'm down approx 21lbs.   Have not been on the scale in the last 4 days so give or take a pound or two.   I am trying not to become to obsessed with the scale.   I am starting to see the difference in my face and my clothes are a little looser.  I took a picture with my husband today and went back and looked at picture I took one day before the surgery and I could not believe the difference in my face.   Just waiting for it to trickle down to the rest of my body.   Have met some amazing people on here so far and its been very informative.  

Hi Everyone,

Well, just had surgery 2 days ago.  Home and rather sore but think I am doing pretty well for 2 days out.   Looking forward to sharing my journey.    Any advice to help me along the way would be greatly appreciated.
