Guest guest Posted February 1, 2003 Report Share Posted February 1, 2003 To my fellow MGB's: I am so excited I have to share this. I had my surgery in Statesville on 12/3/02. I weighed 242 on that date. I am 198 today. I never thought I'd see anything below 200 lbs. It seemed so elusive until this morning. I am feeling well, exercising 5 days/week--some days harder than others. I still cannot tolerate any kind of meat, chicken or fish, so I am mainly on Stage II of the eating plan, with an occasional salad. This really does work!!!

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2003 Report Share Posted February 2, 2003 WoW You are doing fantastic! I had surgery on 12/2 and started at 225 and i am at 201 or 200. I do eat chicken and fish but I am a salad freak! I love them, of course I do protein shakes and yogurt and soup! Good going, keep it up! lisa 12/2/02 dayton,oh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 3, 2003 Report Share Posted February 3, 2003 Hi Vicki, Great job! It's a great feeling to see the scale go under 200. Your story is such an inspiration to us all. Hopefully you will be able to tolerate beef and chicken soon. If there is anything that I can do for you, please give us a call.

Guest guest Posted February 3, 2003 Report Share Posted February 3, 2003 - You are doing so well. I had surgery the day after you, on 12/3. I have lost 44 lbs as of today, my 2-month anniversary. I am feeling great and also love salads now. I still cannot tolerate any type of meat (chicken, beef, ham, pork, fish, etc). Small amounts of cheese do okay and cottage cheese is fine. No problem with the yogurt, other than I am so sick of eating it. Cantalope is my all time favorite snack now. Also try to eat 1/2 banana a day for the potassium. Still eat a lot of soup and occasionally mashed potatoes. Tried a devilled egg last week and it stayed down. Isn't it fun watching that scale. I try not to weigh myself every day because those plateaus will kill you, but things seem to move steadily if I keep up the exercise and Gatorade. Enjoying life!
