Jane You look awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Girldep Isn't it amazing how this surgery works!!! I have not had ANY trouble eating anything!!! Not one single bite has bothered me. I also do not deprive myself of anything, if I want chips I have a few. Sorry about your injury to your heel, hopefully you will heal up quick. Yes I have had lots of changes in the foods that I eat, there are so many that I can't stand anymore, and a few that I like again. You will notice that your taste buds will change, and that you will crave some strange things. Some of your favorites will taste terrible. Good luck to you and keep doing great!!

Tiff All I have to say is OMGOSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOW...WOW...that is FABtabulous!!!!! I wish I would have saved some of my "big" pants!!! As always you are an inspiration!!

Hope that is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!! You are doing super fab!!!!! Have fun at the beach!

Hey NursyGirl Congrats on getting a date!! Good luck and happy losing!!

You are not complaining at all!! it is so hard not to have the support of our significant other!! I'm sorry that he does not get that this is VERY important to you, but I hate to say he will once you start losing!! He will reap the benefits form a much healthier YOU!!! So don't let it get you down, or STOP you from getting the surgery! It is so very important to get healthy again! Good luck, and keep us posted...we care!

Angie Good luck!!!! I will scoot on down and make some room on the bench!!

I guess if I never get any smaller, this is the smallest I have been in years! My size 10 levi's hang on my butt, but the size 8's are still just a little tight. If you would have told me a year ago I would be wearing a size 10 again, I would have said "get out"!!! So I guess ther is always a positive, you just have to look for it! Happy mommies day!

That is the nicest thing I have heard in a long time!!! Maybe you are right, this might be where I was supposed to end up at. But you know I feel like I need to get just a little bit more off, just in case I gain a little back. I have really been pushing the excersize again, since the weather is nice. I took two walk/jogs today. I got in 5 miles total and I feel great!! Janet thank you sooo much for putting all of this into perspective, I just thought that last 6 lbs would come off. I think For my mental state I need to get to my goal!! I really feel good where I'm at, I could stand some lipo on my thighs!! LOL I have always been thinner up on the top but I have thighs! Putting it down on paper makes it look so much better, I have been beating myself up for quite awhile now. And if you want to eat the whole tray of shrimp go ahead!! You know I only say that because I know you never could. But at least it is a godd choice of food. Thanks so much, friend!!

AWESOME POST!!!!!!!!!! I like your way of thinking, you are right about losing just to gain again. We have all been there, many times! So glad that you are taking the right steps to get yourself healthy again!! Good luck and happy losing!! PS who is your surgeon??

Angie GOOOOOOOOOD LUCK!!!! I know you will do great!! You have a wonderful Dr and great support! Have your mom check in with us so we will know how you are doing! Good luck and happy losing!!

Not ONE person said anything??? I can't believe that! How dare they?? After 35lbs you have got to be able to tell the difference! Oh well, you don't see them that often so maybe they did not know the difference. I'm sure the birthday cake is what made you feel better!! LOL I just got back from the store and they had a yummy looking chocolate creme pie that I just had to buy! For the family of course! To be honest I don't really care for sweets, give me nachos, popcorn, chips....etc!! Always my favorites! As far as "how low will you go" I wish I could tell you. I can eat way too much!! I don't have much restrictions, and I'm not sure what happened! It used to be I would eat about a cup of food and I would be stuffed, now I can eat lots more...not sure what to do to change it. I'm thinking I need to do the 5 day pouch test and see if that helps, not sure what else to do. Some have said that taking an antacid helps their hunger, maybe I should try that. At this point I'm just not sure, and I have totally stopped losing so go figure. Take care!!

Hi Janet You are doing soooo good!! I'm jealous! LOL. I just got back from a long walk, I know this will help my weightloss again! I feel like I have been at the same weight forever, which I have!! Sorry you were not feeling goo earlier, I hop you feel better now. Have fun at your gathering tomorrow! Get your speech ready because everyone is going to ask about your weight loss. happy mothers day!

Hey Buddy Sorry I missed telling you happy surgery day!! I feel bad for you, the first 2 days are really bad. By the 3rd day it really does get much better, I wish you a speedy recovery!

Cajun That is just totally awesome!!!! I have not had a swim suit on in MANY years!!! I should go out and buy one!!

AWESOME!!!! Give her an extra hug!!!!!!!!!!!

OMGOSH pumpkin That is so funny!!!!! When I hit a size medium tops and size 10 pants I felt like yelling it to anyone that would listen!! Good for you!!

Good luck buddy!!!!!! You will do great!!

Sorry I missed telling you happy surgery day!!!! I hope all went well for you and you are on your way to the bench!!

You are doing sooooo good!!!! What are you doing to lose your weight so fast?? You are passing me up and I had my surgery first!! JK I'm very happy for you!! I have had a tough time sticking to any type of eating schedule, I don't know what is wrong with me! I think it is just pure boredom, since I'm not working.

I just started losing my hair a couple weeks ago, I just hit my 4 month mark. So I guess it hits at about 3 1/2 months. I'm not the best at making sure I get all of my protein in, so I'm the one to blame on the hair loss!! Don't get too upset it will grow back, make sure you get your protein and vitamins in and you will be fine. Good luck!!

congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Daisy!!!! OOOOOO LA LA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
