Two Month Report...

[Guest guest]

Hi All.

Congratulations to all of the new post-ops and to those of you who

have insurance approval and dates. I have been at the hospital caring

for my Mom-in-law and have not been able to post my two month report,

but here it is... I AM DOWN 50 POUNDS!!! I can't believe it. I am not

following any diet, just eating what I feel like eating. I don't dump

on anything, so I do eat fats and sweets. I find that I don't really

want much of them though. My tastes have changed a lot. I do notice

that I eat much more some days than others. I did not want to weigh

this morning, because I knew that I have not been able to eat the

right foods while caring for my Mom the last couple of weeks. I've

been eating plenty, but most of it has been out of the vending

machine at the hospital. I have been on a plateau for a while, so I

thought that I probably had not lost but low and behold, a three

pound weight loss leaves me at 50 pounds lost. I was just starting to

buy size 24's before my MGB, but I wore an old pair of my size 20

jeans this week. I'll be in 18's before long and I'm thrilled about

that. I hope that all of you are well and want you to know that I

read the list as often as I can to keep up with ya'll. If I can help

anyone in any way with your quest for surgery, please email me.
