Guest guest Posted October 22, 2000 Report Share Posted October 22, 2000 Glenda Wow, great post, and great going!!! That is what I like to hear, the best way I have lost weight.. cause all of us have tried so many ways, and they only work for awhile, right guys? Hope everything keeps going good for you, keep us posted okay? Trudy ONE MONTH POST-OP TODAY! My name is Glenda and I am one month post-op today. I am down 32 lbs from the day of surgery and 36 lbs down total. This is by far the best way I have lost weight. I do not seem to feel hungry and when I eat I can only eat a very small amount. I am still trying out new foods one at a time. Sometimes something will sound good but when I eat it, it just isn't what I expected. I fill up really fast. I am having to learn to take very small bites and to chew, chew, chew. I found that when I do not chew well enough or if the bite is too big, it is actually uncomfortable. I am taking the citracel and tums and 3 multi-vits a day. I am still using the carafate morning and evening because when I stopped it I felt like I having some irritation in my stomach, I keep waiting for the weight to stop coming off. I am eager to see how much weight will be off by Jan 1st. I am going to Thailand. We have a choir that is going to be singing and we are going to have a formal concert. I have to order my outfit but it is hard to predict what size I will be. I am already down 3.5 inches in my waist. I am already wearing clothes tht I haven't worn is a long time. People are stopping and saying Glenda, you are loosing weight aren't you. I just smile and say I'm working at it. Today after church someone said to my husband (when I was not around) Glenda has really lost weight and she is looking good. What is she doing? His reply was she is eating like a bird. I am happy to answer questions or willing to be a contact for you if you e-mail me personally. Good luck to all of you who are in waiting. I was in waiting for 5 months and ended up having to self pay. It was worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
