Guest guest Posted June 30, 2000 Report Share Posted June 30, 2000 Just an update I have been on a month plateau and I have finally dropped three more pounds. I started at 279 on 12/20/99 and I hit 180 this morning. I am off to Hawaii next Monday for three weeks for some much needed relaxation. Don't know how much I will get taking along 4 kids and hubby and grampa but I will try. I went clothes shopping and bought some shorts in a size 13 juniors and some pants in a size 12. Who would have ever thought wearing any wear from a size 18 to a 24 all my life that I would finally be able to shop anywhere I want and things actually fit. Life is grand. I have never spend so much money on clothes my whole life. I thought I would actually save money from not eating so much but I am spending that money on clothes. Well thats not such a bad trade off. Good Luck to all you pre ops out there especially my brother in law Dave and my sister Yvonne. My 16 year old daughter is doing wonderful she has lost 100 pounds since 12/20/99 and my mother has lost 27pounds since her surgery on 5-26-00. My sister had open RNY on June 5th and she has lost 30 pounds since then. Have a great weekend everyone and a Happy 4th of July. Liz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2000 Report Share Posted June 30, 2000 Flo, Way to go!! But if those 2 extra pounds were supposed to be mine I am going to be upset.

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2000 Report Share Posted June 30, 2000 Darlene: It makes me crazy too. And here I am already wondering what I will lose next month. And then I remembered he doesn't need to see me for two months. So...I'm going to go by his office on August 1 and weigh myself and not see him. He told me to drop by any time I want to weigh myself. I'm sticking with once a month too Darlene. I'm calculating how much I'll weigh on the cruise...sick sick sick... Been big for 50 years and all of a sudden I'm in a hurry not to be.

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2000 Report Share Posted June 30, 2000 Flo, I laughed when I read your post. I was thinking, Oh no, Flo and I started out at about the same weight and by the time of the cruise and the rate she is going I will be embarrassed if I don't do well. Oh well, that isn't the point of it and besides you have already seen me as big as you ever will. I am trying to talk my husband into the cruise. We have been talking about doing it sometime and I want NOW he wants to wait until next year. I know he is afraid of flying. I will probably do this with or without him. You know if you can do all it takes to have the MGB you can do anything. Darlene Flo Ballengee wrote: > Darlene: It makes me crazy too. And here I am already wondering what I > will lose next month.

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2000 Report Share Posted June 30, 2000 Don't worry Darlene. I more than make up for Flo's extra 2 lbs lost. I only lost 24 the first month. I'm down an additional 5 now. We'll all make it there somehow! Let us know... Amy. _____________________________________________ Amy S.
