Day 41 and still 20 pounds gone.

I got on my scale this morning and saw that I was still at 245 -
although pretty close to 244 - so still 20 pounds gone. Had about 1400
calories yesterday and about 1100 today (it's now about 7 PM) and so
I'm doing pretty well following my low-calorie approach. All I have to
do is just keep doing what I'm doing!

Tomorrow I'm going walking up my hill in the morning.

I have 2 numbers on my watchband - 41 over 20 - indicating that this
is day 41 and I've lost 20 pounds. I showed the numbers today to
several psychologists (there was a terrific local conference) and they
expressed great interest in this approach. (I was also asking a poster-
presenter about her research on bariatric surgery patients. Numbers on
a watchband sure beatgastricsurgery.)

I hope everyone has a great weekend and a FANTASTIC week coming up!

Yours truly,

Caleb

Hi
I had my Surgery on 02/02/02 and at time of surgery I was at 425
lbs. and after five years I now weigh in at 185 lbs.
To this day I still dont like to eat normal food like
meat,bread,cake,sweets,and anything greasy
make me sick. I know a few of my friends that had the same surgery and
did not gain back their weight only they go up a few pounds up or
down you will be fine just make sure that in the first year you get in
to good habits because these habits will stay with you for a long time
Alot of walking is very important and remmember to chew your
food
Good Luck
Izzy.

Absolutely SUPER that you have maintained! Thanks for writing in! I
know of no one personally who has had the surgery although there are
many TV personalities I see who have had it. It can sure be life-
saving for a lot of people!

IZZY, GREAT for you! With your reactions to the various foods you
mentioned, you're sure avoiding a lot of the danger foods that I have
eaten to much of.

Great job!!!

Do you have to take supplements now? Any other side-effects?

Yours,

Caleb
