Wow! Sorry if I sound stupid but I didn't know bypass was quicker weight loss than the band- I suppose it makes sense haha! xxx

is this just for your own benefit Vespa, or is it research for a proffesional body?

 

[Vespa]

Hi Caren,

It is for personal research. I am struggling to find specifics like this in the diaries and everyone has been a great help, thank you! xxx

Hi
Op ~ 5th April 2011, 100lb loss to date (being 5 ½ months / no excess skin) . . . weight loss started to slow around the 3 – 4 month mark but I understand that this is normal. I am pleased to report that I do not dump (thank heaven) and can eat a normal diet (though reduced intake) . . . all in all going very well. Enjoying food (in moderation / healthy diet) and the odd drink . . . never felt better. 36inch waist and large tops which at 6’00” I think is about right. My target is to lose a further 25lb but I am thinking of changing this to just 10lb as people are all saying the right things. Returned to cycling and enjoying every moment. xx
