      From jrose529 September 24

      Thanks so much for your support. I am feeling better, but it is still hard to handle the protein drinks. I haven't even had my post op visit, but with all the fluids I got when I was dehydrated last week, I've only lost 5 lbs since my surgery on 9/8. I am a bit discouraged, but my surgeon told me not to weigh myself until the post-op visit, which is next Wednesday. My Cardiologist weighed me today and I shouldn't have looked. Judy

      Hi, My name is Cindy. Iread your post and cam so relate!! I had my surgery on 7/2 and immediaelu lost 30 pounds. I am at the three month mark and have lost about 45. It is going so slow for me now!! And...my biggest downfall is lack of exercise, I hate it. I have a beautiful gym right in my home, and it's gathering dust. I even watched the yoga DVD, did you catch that, I watched it!!! I know I would lise a lot faster if I got off my butt and just did it!!! Good luck!!

      We decided it was our time to get healthy. The kids are pretty much grown. We want to travel and be more active and our weight was just not allowing us too. My husband had diabetes and I knew I was next because my mother does. Since our surgery. He is now off his diabetic medicine and has lost 60lbs. Me on the other hand have only lost 45 but, Im still trying.
