cnicholl 0 Posted October 14, 2005 Well, 1 month officially post surgery and I have lost 22 pounds... I am so happy. I haven't even gotten a fill yet so this is just amazing to me. I have never been "hungry" yet... Mental hunger yeah, but starving for lack of food? Nope. I still go out to all the places I used to go out to for dinner but I am eating about 1/2 of what I used to eat. After the fill I am sure it will be less than that... wow!!!! I have so much energy... I play tennis 3 hours at a time 2-3 times a week, I walk every night, and I went rock climbing yesterday!! 5 hours of climbing... and I just feel great!!!! I measured myself and wow since the week before surgery to now? Date....Weight....Neck...Arm...Forearm...Thigh...Calf....Waist.....Stomach 9/8.......285.........16.....16.75....11.5......32.5...18.75...46.75.......57.5 10/14....263.........15.......15.......11........29.......17.5.....40...........53 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
