6 months out today!
Well everyone just had to post today since it's 6 months since Dr.
Schmitt rearranged my gastric tract. I'm lucky to be one of the many
people who have had a very easy time of it, but I've been stuck on a
plateau for the past week!
This surgery has changed my life! Would do it again in a New York
minute!!!!
Started at 397.5 and now at 285. Hope to loose at least another 50lbs.
I am keeping up with my protien (thanks Wes) but can't seem to break
the 285 mark. Any suggestions Amanda?
I missed not going to last months monday meeting! Looks like I'll
miss the next two also. You all don't realize how much the support
group and our barigod mother helps us until you miss a couple of
meetings! Won't see you all till November 5.
Tried the chat room tonight with no success. Rambled enought, besides
I got to go work out(have to try to keep up to the standard set by
you Amanda!).
And no "It's Raining Men" for the fashion show for me, eventhough I
find myself sometimes thinking of Chan in the hot tub, I'm still
national league!!!!! I'm counting on you Wes to keep my song a secret
until show time!
Hope to see you all soon. Keep up the good work everyone!
Proud to be an American (see ya soon Norm) and a Looser (of the best
kind)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

John -
I am so excited for you and your awesome weight loss. I need to watch
out or you will pass me again. I can't currently help you with your
stuck status because I think (although I haven't weighed yet) that I
have had a stuck month as well. I know we will all go through this-
and this too shall pass so I just hold my breath and do what I know
will work- mix it up a bit! All I can suggest is to switch up or
around your protein and water intake and your exercise. I actually
think I am losing inches this month but not weight because of all the
working out- which may be the case with you as well Macho Man! :o)
We have missed you so much at the meetings- and I can't believe we
will have to go through TWO more with out you! Shall we print you a
meeting schedule and have you plan AROUND them? LOL- Just kidding. I
truly understand sometimes we can't avoid missing one or two.... but
three in a row?????? You know I just kidding.
Keep up the awesome work. Look forward to seeing you on Nov. 5- and I
can't wait to find out what song you will be walking to. Did you
decide on the purple or the pink tux?
