,

I am so happy for your weight loss. That is wonderful. 87 pounds

in 6 months. You are doing so well. I would like to see an updated picture of

you. How is your fight with your insurance company going....do you have a

court date yet? I want to thank you for thinking about me and my littermates,

only 18 days and I hope to be on the other side. I will celebrate your

birthday on the 19 by making a new life for myself and then it will be my new

birthday too. You will have to tell me your secret for your magnificent

weight loss. I hope to have such a great success as you have and I can't wait

till Christmas and I walk through my parents front door and weigh at lease 70

pound lighter. (OH HOW I WISH) Please keep us posted on your weight loss.

Love to you, Joyce

PS As I have said before and I will say it again. THANK YOU for telling me

about the MGB, without you I would have never known about it.

<< Hi!! I will be 6 mo post op on July 10th. I now weigh 155 lbs and I

weighed

242 at surgery on Jan 10, 2000. I no longer have to wear that ol C Pap

machine mask on my face at night like I have for almost 10 years, so that in

itself is like a miracle. I no longer have to wear a pad for my urinary

incontence/ no leakage now at all!!! Another huge miracle. I have no

reflux/ no pain from pressure on joints/ no edema/ I look 10 years younger/

I

can breathe and move and do things instead of sit in a chair most of the

time. I'd say I've made a lot of progress!!!?? I have had a problem with

depression but am now taking Effexor and it is helping a lot. It was hard

to

accept that I had depression when so many many good things have happened to

me, but I finally came around to calling a spade a spade. Depression is

something not to be fooled around with, I have learned for sure.

from Missouri age 56 on July 19th/ when dear Joyce will have her surgery!!!

Love to you Joyce and your other litter mates!!!! >>

Dear Joyce and all, I do intend to post a picture as soon as I get one that

I really like!! Also I don't know how to do it and will have to get my

husband to put it in the computer for me. I still do not have a court date

yet and am still waiting. But as soon as something happens along that line

you can be sure that I will be posting the events as it starts happening. I

am thinking about you and your surgery every day Joyce and your litter mates

too. I know you are going to lose weight too, but it is very important not

to compare your loss with mine or anyone elseses because we all lose at a

different rate. Mine has been exceptionally fast and most don't lose at that

rapid rate. The only secret I can say is to stay with the liquids for the

1st 6 weeks and do exactly as Dr R says. Then as you begin to eat regular

food, go easy. I eat a baked potato every day with real butter and fat free

sour cream, lots of salt. Also eat a banana every day, sometimes two!! I

drink juice that has NO SUGAR only the sweetness of real fruit juice. Also

have the no sugar all fruit pop cycles every day. I cook all the time using

the 98% fat free cream soups, low fat cheese, lots of veggies, chicken,

turkey, ground sirloin, ground turkey, smoothies in the blender/ fat free

cream cheese and triscuits for snack. I also eat lots of fresh mushrooms

sauted in olive oil and fresh garlic and onions. There you have it!!! That

is what I eat. Oh, yes, one slice of my homemade bread fixed as toast each

day. Sounds like a lot of food?? I eat at least 6 small meals a day. Keeps

me busy!!! I do love the 98% fat free chicken noodle soup (s). I

hardly suffer from depravation!!! lol lol Love to all, in Missouri
