mrdr hmmmm i think it would work the opposite when i was heavy - my weight made me look "round" around my body now that the weight/fat is gone - i feel i'm more vertical/height that might not sound right but............... since i've lost all my weight, reaching goal my head is up high - and i feel MUCH taller!!! kathy

PaperBullets sorry you are having this problem, not getting enough calories, Protein, maybe drink too??? doesn't sound like you are having any trouble holding/keeping food down, right??? even if you don't want to eat, lack of desire et al..............you know you must eat more calories for health reasons gotta "force" yourself for your own good you should talk to your NUT Possibly if you reach out to her, explaining your issues - she might be able to help you with your situation weighing 145 lbs - losing 77 lbs that looks like a good weight but i agree that you can't afford to lose too much more weight good luck kathy

PaperBullets OP - don't get in a "tizzy" surgery wasn't a month ago i think PaperBullets meant to say WLS was 3/18/13 (per profile) 5 month weight loss 79 lbs terrific keep up the good work kathy congrats

kim congrats on getting back to your normal morning routine you've progressed slowly but surely these past 11 days these last 4 days before going back to work...........try and slowly move around more - staying up all day gradually get back into the groove so you won't be overwhelmed on friday that being said - sneaking in a couple of naps during the day would be nice too 12 hour shifts (nurse??) any chance you can take another week off, or at least a few day??? or "maybe" go back and work 1/2 days for a week??? good luck kathy

mokee i am so sorry you have neck problems that must be uncomfortable, painful when i broke my femur 5 years ago - i found a tape for "seniors" exercises sitting on a chair doing various exercises that "normal" people do, just in a chair elevating your legs - arm weights - etc. at the age of 54, that "S" word really bothered me but the tape was great, helpful - since i couldn't get around well i've led a sheltered life I don't know what a sharpei dog looks like but, if the two of you look alike - then it must be cute as a button 84 lbs down!!! you are aces!!! lookin' good keep up the good job good luck kathy congrats

sarsar darn"tootin" i wasn't little i don't know how sweet i was because of being so self - conscious about my appearanc but.................i'm making up for lost time............. now i am a heck of a "sweetie - pie sexy, hot, proudgrammy "and "flaunting" myself btw - did i see that "number" right??? you lost 110 lbs OMG you are aces keep up the good job kathy congrats

Looking older after weight loss :angry: Started by Im14fun 22 minutes ago is it true that 60 is the new 40???? (hope so ) i've always been self-conscious about my age I do have "loser" skin in my face BUT...... i would rather the "loser" skin and look great - (like i do ) then be my old obese person i'm enjoying the good life, being a healthier, happier, proud grammy kathy congrats to me

shondaj and...........we love, love the fact that you are here on this site it is common to have "cross over??" addictions writing/reading this board is helpful it might be a new addiction - but its non-fattening you'll continue to find lots of support and answers to your questions after surgery, make sure you walk off any gas you might have "acquired' you just had major surgery and hopefully you can get well deserved/needed rest family/friends can help you??? - especially if you have kids et al good luck with WLS speedy recovery kathy
