Reply-to: <A HREF= " mailto: " > </A> Hello Everyone.........I cant believe its been 7 months!! What a difference 7 months can make, you know I have finally broke the habit of weighing every day. This morning I thought I would weigh and I have lost 3lbs since I weighed last time( about a weeks ago) I thought great! Ive been stuck for close to 3 weeks. It wasnt until I read the e-mail from Margaret and started typing this that I realized, I HAVE LOST 101LBS!!! I cant believe it. You know when I was doing all the paper work and waiting for ins. approval I knew in my head I would lose weight but in my heart I had this feeling that " this wont work,nothing else has why should this " Guess what it is working and I love it I feel and look better than I have in years. I still have trouble with bread and some meats but if giving them up is what it takes to get rid of the fat, so be it!! While waiting for approval for surgery I lost 25lbs. That makes a grand total of 126 lbs lost from my highest weight. Im so happy I could scream!! Cant wiat to see everyone at the picnic.

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2001 Report Share Posted October 12, 2001 > YOUR MARRIED.................. HEHEHHEHE you can look but not touch > missy...... > Sharon!!! You shoulda told me before!!! I did a plenty of touching, quite irresistable actually. Fessed up to hubby, and he laughed. I was so disappointed that you and Kym weren't at the picnic, and Margie and Phil also. Keep up the great work! I may be looking for a boob lift soon too. I have chronic cystic acne, and it's getting worse. I'm getting cysts in my old stretch marks... Gross, I know, but it's getting to be painful. Manda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 13, 2001 Report Share Posted October 13, 2001 Manda, That sounds great. You and I are the same size (some days, because my weight goes up and down). I am so happy for you!!

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2001 Report Share Posted October 26, 2001 Hey group! This is in NC. I have been out of contact for a while; some big personal stuff happened this summer. I had planned to be at the picnic with my family, but kids got sick and we were worn out by Saturday noon. I wish that I had met everyone; maybe next year. I'm so glad that everyone who came had such a wonderful time. Today is my 7 month anniversary. On the day of surgery I weighed 292 lbs. Today I weigh 195 lbs.....97 lbs down! I have gone from a size 26/28 to a 14/16. I am so amazed that I can no longer even buy a 1X in women's size clothes! People think I am even smaller than I am, and I get so many complements. Sometimes it's hard to hear, believe it or not. I had my bloodwork done at 6 months, and everything was normal except that my iron was a little low, so I am now on an iron supplement. Also, my doctor suggested that I not go off Prevacid, so I have remained on it. Everything else is completely normal. And I feel wonderful. I am looking forward to seeing some of you at the support group meeting tomorrow. I hope everyone is well. Margaret in St. Louis, I am praying for your family.
