A little over one year out...I didn't make my goal but that's OK...I'm down again to 156-157.  My surgeon who is a gem said I am doing wonderfully.  We reviewed the lab work...It was perfect  ...THANK YOU Andrea....My next appt is in one year.  My only problem right now is I could have a kidney stone and I'm in pain...but I can handle it.  I see the doctor tommorrow...My surgeon doesn't handle that...HA HA.  Anyway doing great and I hope you all are doing great.  Love Patty  PS EXCITING news I'm retiring Oct 11th ....for the winter at least...

Well 156.9 ...a new number but I will take whatever I can get.  I didn't make my goal to be 155 by Sept 3rd but my surgeon appt for my surgiversary is Sept 23.  Maybe you'll never know.  Every pound is like pulling teeth.  But when I eat more protein I usually lose!  Crazy..but we will see what the month holds.  Love patty

I lost 5 pds and I'm now at 161....who would have believed that!  I vacationed for 25 days and exercised with walking ...ate less than everyone BUT what i wanted.  I went back to curves on Monday and low and behold had a 5 pds weight loss on Tue.  INCREDIBLE....I weighed 3 times I didn't belive it ...Now everything looks like I will make my goal at least to the second one which is 145.  That is my true goal.  Take care all and thanks to everyone ...this is a wonderful site.  Love Patty

I finally broke my plateau....Will I make the 169 by Thursday.  Not sure But I'm being good and exercising.  Take care Patty

Hi everyone!  I thought I might update you.  I started out at 237-240.  I am now at 173.5!  I have lost a total of 63.5 pds depending on where I started.  I want to thank all of you for your support.  Leslie thanks for the YUM cinnamon roll protein dessert malt.  Eggface Shelli you are the best and your recipes, delicio ....and thanks to my dear Kathi friends whose support has been so important.  Thanks to all my friends on obesity help you have been my support system and I'm so thankful I found you all.  This happened innocently when I was starting an IV on a person having gastric bypass from Salinas.  She told me about this site.  I've never found her again but I've tried to share this site with everyone having surgery that I can.  But alas not everyone finds the help that they need...thinking they know it all.  You everyone of my friends have helped me with vitamins and just plain SUPPORT  I was at church this morning and someone said to me you've gone to another level.  I really can't tell much except my legs and knees don't hurt so much...and I'm in a tight size 10 and a big size 12.  My legs are floppy still so they need work.  It's crazy with all the inches my thighs and calves have gone down the least.  I am RN as you all know and plan to retire in OCT.  I hope it works out.  My DH says it's possible but we will see!  I did it for a year and 1/2 once and had to go back because we couldn't make it.  Well now I'm rambling so I'll quit!  But I have to tell you also my DH is down 10 pds.  He was never that over weight but now I weigh less than him.  Another goal.  My next goal is to loose 4 pds my April 16th my 57th birthday!  Thanks again to all of you !  Patty

I finally broke my plateau...Thank you Gina and everyone and the daily plate.  I'm now down 60 pds!  I'm so happy.  Patty B

Hi everyone.  I finally got a few pictures taken so I could update my profile.  I am in onederland.  But weight doesn't matter so much as health.  I feel great and my legs and knees have stopped hurting.  This is in between picture.  I will try and download more later on but it's my sweet daughter in law that can do it.  Take care Patty B

Hi I thougt I'd better update my profile.  I'm down 54 pds so far.  I'm feeling great just trying to get the protein in and the water and the vitamins.  It's truly amazing how much food doesn't mean to me anymore.  Just protein.  I'm doing fine and still and nurse and working 12 hr shifts trying to find time to exercise.  No problems at all.  God Bless you all.  I'm at 181.3 right now and the next goal is the 170's.  Patty

Hi I'm a nurse and they finally got it in to my insurance company Blue Shield with Health Comp.  I'm praying it will be Ok'ed and I can get a surgery date....I feel like I'm in limbo.  It's terrible.  Just working and hoping and helping other gastric bypass patients thru there pre-op and teaching.  Let me know if any of you are unhappy.  I really want to know.  I have tried so many diets all my life and I'm at my top weight.
