Thanks Amanda, it does feel good to hear those words. I'm still wanting to lose 40-50 more, but I'm so much closer than I was 90 pounds ago!! :)

Thanks for trying to encourage me. I didn't think I was a stress eater but now I'm beginning to wonder. I had a lot of things happen since Christmas and sort of really messed with my head. I think maybe thats why I am craving sweets so much. I feel like overdosing on candy bars right now.

Scrappy - You have 18 more pounds to go. You have came further than any of us and have less to go to get to goal than any of us. You are darn right we are going to be your cheerleader. Go Shamrock, Go!!!!

Teri - that's a LOVELY story! Amanda's right, it's what we all want.

Scrappy, we've all been there, all had those bingey urges. But look how much work you've done! Look how far you've come? You've been the rock of this group, you've kept on going, nonstop, as some of us have fallen by the wayside. We look at you for inspiration, because you've really done EXACTLY what you're supposed to do with a band.

What do you think it'll be like at goal weight? Is it scary to you? You've put so much energy and drive into this process, it'll be strange for it to be "over", I think.

You have so much to be proud of - you've been GREAT! I admire you so much for what you've done, and I'm going to try to be more like you.

Oh I'm still trying, and fighting off the evil cravings and I am still staying around 1200 calories a day. I am also going to curves 3 days a week. I will make it but its not easy.

I will make it but its not easy.

Of course you will, and because you worked so hard it will be all the sweeter when you reach and possibly surpass your goal.

Teri that is so cool what your son said. And Rhonda, hang in there. We'll all have your back when you slide through the finish line. And you can cheer us all on one by one as we slide through too. I think we all need to give our selves a hand and a pat on the back for all we've achieved in this last year. Little slips will happen along the way, after all we are human and that's why we are here isn't it?

Grrrrr, I'm up another pound this morning, so that's 3.2 lbs gained this week for me and I really didn't do bad yesterday, I know I'm still retaining excess Water, so hopefully, this will go down next Friday. :confused:

A bump of 1 lb, particularly if you're a chick, can be explained by cycling, don't you think?

I did quite well - mostly Water, no doubt, but I stuck to my regimen, and am down 5 lbs for the week.

And if only I could sort out the whole gym thing...

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
