50 pounds difference... [ATTACH]1932[/ATTACH] Jess...Surgiversary 9/19/12

Let's see some progress pics of our September surgery friends...

What is the total amount you want to lose? 44 is wonderful! I'm not far behind you. I've had stalls that I thought would never end. Keep up the good work and you will get there. I found a lime Greek yogurt that I really like. It has 13 grams of protein. I drink an Atkins shake(ready to drink-can't stomach the ones you shake up) every morning, 15 grams. I use reduced fat Ritz, low fat cheese and low fat lunch meat, I eat about five and get roughly 8 grams out of that. My hair is falling out from where I had such a hard time in the beginning. Doing great now though. Almost 50 pounds gone. I can't believe in just a few days I will be halfway to my goal already! This surgery has been a life saver, even though it almost killed me in the beginning...lol! Jess...Surgiversary 9/19/12

Wow! That's awesome! Keep up the good work! Jess...Surgiversary 9/19/12

It's a lot of work. I'm just now able to get my recommended Protein in. The more you are committed, the better you will do! Keep us posted on how everything goes... Jess...Surgiversary 9/19/12

Doing good! Thanks for asking =) I'm nine weeks out and down 45 pounds. It's a hard process but the results are worth it! Jess...Surgiversary 9/19/12

I needed five blood transfusions and two bags of plasma. I would have died without it. There was a tiny spot on my intestines that didn't close. I bled out. I respect other peoples religious beliefs but please know that there is that chance! Best of luck to you! Jess...Surgiversary 9/19/12

I have NEVER heard of a doctor being against Protein shakes! Did they give you a reason? That's your main source of protein, especially in the beginning. I can't imagine where I would be without them. Undoubtedly in the hospital! Good luck with your journey. Please keep us posted! Jess...Surgiversary 9/19/12
