I have lost 46 pounds since surgery and still want to lose 25 more to get to my ideal weight. I will try to be patient a little longer with this stall, I truly hope things start moving again soon!!!

Have a great week everyone!

Thank you! I miss you too! I need to get back on in the evenings... I have been dating someone for about 2 months so he has taken up some of my time in a good way!

Wow, look at you! 91 pounds gone! Girl that is so great, you have to feel awesome!

Let me know when you will be online in the chat room and I will make sure I come on as well.

Talk soon!

Angie,

It has been waaaaaaay to long, but I am happy to hear that you are enjoying your nights! You have done an amazing job, your body will let go of those last pounds, but don't compare your speed to those who had way higher BMI's it will never be the same (that being said, my weight loss is slowing down and it is frustrating!) You are a beauty and deserve all the best. Good for you for continuing to fight the good fight and I am so glad to hear there is a new fella in your life. You deserve to be treated well. Take care!

Anna

Thank you... Tiff, I just keep remembering that you had to work hard to keep from losing anymore weight, I am just ready to be at goal. I am ready to stock my wardrobe and be finished (yeah right, I am addicted to shopping now!)... Bought some scarfs to wear today, used to never do that because it would add to much bulk to an already bulky body, now they look great!

DJ, I changed my privacy settings, maybe you can see it now...

Angie you look beautiful!! Celebrate the 46lbs that are no longer on your person. If you really want to feel the difference pick up a bag of cat food at the grocery story... those are usually between 25-30lbs... You have made an amazing change for your health!! Congratulations!! :thumbup:

Thank you. Of course I still see that my pants are tight around my legs, etc... We are so critical of our own bodies!!! But I guess it is a blessing to have it come off slowly now so that maybe, just maybe, my skin will tighten along the way. We shall see!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
