Thank you, again, to everyone who has offered such kind words of congratulations and encouragement – they mean so much!!! I'm now entering the phase where my weight loss is old news to my friends and co-workers. As I've often said... If we do everything exactly right, eventually people will stop noticing our loss and our new size will seem "normal". Then the compliments that have helped us along the way will start to dry up and finally stop altogether. And that's part of the plan, right?!! That's when our internal strength (and our reflection in the mirror) have to keep us going for the rest of our lives. I pray that all of you will be successful too! Remember -- identify with the lower-weight person and don't look back over your shoulder in fear of what you used to be. That person doesn't exist anymore. And as I said, if you need tips just send me a message and I'll try to give you a thoughtful answer....

Rogofulm - what a great accomplishment! Congrats to you for reaching your goal weight! Many of us want to experience this too! I am looking forward to getting closer to my goal after my surgery on March 25th.

Good luck with the stretch goal.....I know you will do it!

Thanks, Mo! Stretching for 148 is tough and slow going, but that's okay. I'm pretty comfortable where I am, so there's no huge rush. Good luck with your surgery! Follow your doctor's program to a tee and always make the right choice and you'll do great!

        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!!
