I had tried posting more...didn't work. I know you have to have a subject that others find interesting and I guess I got really discouraged when I announced I had my surgery date and nada.

How are you and your wife doing?

Sheree,

i've checked out your other posts and there have been replies to all of them. not sure where you are looking for replies, but they are there. :)

Chickie, I think you have a few more fans on this board than you think. You and Puddin are my inspiration. Seeing both of your before and after pics gives me hope that I can achieve my goal. It got me up off the couch and running and out of the house on my bike. I have been working my butt off to get to where you guys are. You had such an amazing transformation and seeing the pictures and reading the stories I know I can be there too some day.

I survived on apple juice and chic broth the first weeks. Boy, the next 2 weeks cream Soups tasted so good. Where r u getting the surgery done? I'm excited for you. I'm a slow loser, I had the surgery in Mexico in Nov 06. I'm only down 30 lbs but I'm fine with that. Good Luck to you . Keep us posted.................Kelley

I think a lot of the new threads are being pushed down the board too quickly by the regular "chat" threads (i.e. Banded Bikers, Bootcamp, Twoterville and Onederland, Gay & Lesbian, etc.). Maybe there needs to be a place for these groups to talk regularly. I know they started as regular threads at one time, but now they've taken over the first page of the support page. JHMO.

Derbygirl,

I'd actually had the same thought and think it's a great suggestion that would benefit all (including those on group chat trying to find their threads). Would you feel like raising the point to a moderator?

We know you and for the right reasons - you are one of us!!!!!!

Congrats on the surgery date, learn all you can from the experienced ones and then make up your mind to just do it!

The band doesn't cure us from our weight related issues, but I sure wouldn't want to lose mine!

Later,

HELLO THERE! I mainly post on the shrinking violets thread in the general discussion boards........ COME ON OVER WE ARE A BUNCH OF BIGMOUTHS! LOL

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
