Guest guest Posted March 13, 2003 Report Share Posted March 13, 2003 hi everyone I thought I would do a quick update I am down 107# and feeling great. my wt loss has got a little weird one week I will lose 3 to 5 pounds then the next week I start my P. and continue to lose 3 to 5 pounds then the next two weeks nothing and then it starts all over again . have had some gas mostly at night. I tried ice cream this month a very bad idea it didn't like me at all ..although I can eat most candy and cookies with no problems. I am just so happy that I had this surgery I was so afraid I would fail again but now I know it was not me that failed it was the other surgery that let me down . I am now learning to look and think of my self as a normal size person. sometimes this is very hard to do. thanks for listening to me have a great day Amber Amber In Hawaii gastric stapling 1989 lost 40# D.S.

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2003 Report Share Posted March 14, 2003 Amber, I am so happy for you! What a wonderful difference you must be feeling! And you're right, you are " normal " size now. I'm hoping that after my tummy tuck and hernia repair next month, I'll be " normal " size, too. Dr. Schwartz says I should go down several sizes. I'll be happy if I just go from a 16 to a 14! Congratulations! Yay you!!! Tracey > hi everyone I thought I would do a quick update I am down 107# and feeling great. > Amber In Hawaii > gastric stapling 1989 lost 40# > D.S.

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2003 Report Share Posted March 14, 2003 Amber, 107 lbs in 8 months is FANTASTIC!!!!! I just wanted to say that my weight loss has been like that... I'll stay the same a couple weeks then lose 5 or more pounds... some of my other ds friends have the same pattern. I try to remind myself of my pattern when I start to panic LOL You're doing great, I'm happy for you!

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2003 Report Share Posted March 15, 2003 I love your updates Amber I wish more people posted their updates. I just wanted to say that I lose weight the exact same way you do... with 2 weeks on, 2 weeks off... depending on my cycle. Now that I dont have a cycle, it will be interesting to see what happens! And I too am finding I need to focus my energies now on being " accepting " of myself... because it " never seems enough " . Congratulations on your excellent loss! --Kym in Seattle 9 months postop Down 125 lbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
