Everyone looks great! I find it unbelievable that a year ago I was carrying around another me! I recently have gotten new coworkers who say is that all you are gonna eat? So I tell them I had surgery' date=' they say you don't look like it. It makes me feel good because I wonder if people knew I was fat! Now when I see overweight people I just want to take them aside and say you can do something about it! The surgery was soo worth it for me even with developing the ulcer from surgery, I feel great! Plus my knees are thanking me!![/quote']

I get the same thing about eating so little, as well.

Simply southern, I've often asked after you, you are such a strong and supportive person, I'm so sorry that you've had a hard time of it, so glad you are back up and running again. I pray you continue to recover.

I am happy to read that you are here and getting better. You have been through a lot since surgery. I hope that you and your family are moving through it all together as it is not easy. My prayers are with you and your family.

SimplySouthern! How wonderful to see you here. I've been so worried about you. So sorry about your troubles. Hope you can heal now and enjoy the life you were seeking with your beautiful family. Welcome back!

I am sadly (for myself it's sad) reporting that I'm still losing weight and hit my goal weight (125 as of this morn).. I am definitely too skinny. I have upped my carb intake. I am also forcing myself to eat more in calories. I hate being negative on what others think should be a positive task, losing weight. But then again if we all could lose like we did before the surgery, we wouldn't have had the surgery :-)

I am still very happy for the tool that I've been blessed with. However, now I need to learn how to gain effectively and maintain effectively while maintaining health; as well as, peacefulness in my mind with everything I'm putting in my mouth. So forgive me for the complaint when all of you are working so hard.

My hard work is definitely coming in maintaining w/o losing. I cant wait to hear more goals reached. Hopefully the maintenance will be easier for you than it was for me!!!! I will continue following and posting; meanwhile praying for everyone that is having the surgery, thinking about having it, or have had it. Meanwhile, throw some prayers up for me in not losing anymore, but in gaining then maintaining the weight :-)

I will be praying for you! The Dr set a goal of 125 but I would look sick that small so my personal goal is between 135 and 140. I am almost there!
