Guest guest Posted March 13, 2002 Report Share Posted March 13, 2002 Hi Connie, Your post sound familiar, I seem to many of your same problems although after 13 months they seem further apart. Most days I feel great - I have started vomiting a lot and seem to be constipated all of the time, going to have one of those lovely colon things done the 27th, at least she is going to put me out- I had one about 15 yrs ago and swore NEVER again! I have lost very slowly too and have been at a stand still for the past 2 months or so which is really depressing! I am very grateful for the pounds I have lost it is wonderful to be able to do things I haven't done in years. I just keep telling myself things are going to get better, spring is soon going to be here and I'll be outside getting a lot more exercise! Much Love, Ruth Ellen Mt Vernon Indiana OPEN RNY 01/41/01 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 13, 2002 Report Share Posted March 13, 2002 Dear Connie, Mom says that we are going through steps when we go through a period of slow weight loss.. Try to remember, this is just a step. You have done awesome with weight loss... I am sure if you increase your protein and water, your weight loss will pick up again. I truly understand what you mean about leaving the support and encouragement of Mom, Dad,and the wonderful people you meet through them. It is hard to leave, but yet again, you miss your family, friends and your natural environment. I sure hope we can see each other again one day. I really did enjoy the short time we had together... I had another milestone.. my aunt went and bought me a straight skirt the other day at Dillard/s....size Misses 18.. This is exciting to me since I have been in the largest plus size available for soo long.. I started at 236 before this last surgery according to Dr Oh/s scales and am now at 218 as of Feb 28... Take care Hugs, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 13, 2002 Report Share Posted March 13, 2002 Hi ; Great weight loss. I longed to be an 18 for years and said I would be so satisfied to be there. I passed that by and am now a 14. Thank God for WLS. in Pa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 13, 2002 Report Share Posted March 13, 2002 Dear , I had said I would be happy to be a size 14 but am now looking forward to being size 10 or less.. time and patience for me. Hugs, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 13, 2002 Report Share Posted March 13, 2002 Hey there, Connie -- I know what you mean about all the new names! I joined here about 13 mo ago and there were not quite 800 members. Wonderful expansion since then, yet so hard to feel very connected if your particiaption is as sporadic as mine has and will continue to be. I've been on a plateau for about 7 wks. I've been grazing too much, methinks... well, any grazing is too much grazing so let me put it another way -- I've been grazing and I'm sure that throws a lot of stuff off track. I've been steadily improving, though, so I'm sure the plateau will break soon. Connie, glad you're back --- and I'm praying for your life to smooth out some. Hope the letdown you're feeling soon goes away. Lots here to surround and support you no matter what! Angels are with you, > I know, I know, I've been bad.

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2002 Report Share Posted March 13, 2002 Dear , Sounds like fun to me. And, of course, we would have to get with little sis Terry. I'm going to be so mad at Mom if I end up getting a cat. I don't want a cat. Our dog doesn't want a cat. We were at Petsmart the other day and I just happened to go look at the homeless cats that were there. They acted too much like real cats. You know, not like Priscilla and JJ. I can't believe I even looked at them.

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2002 Report Share Posted March 14, 2002 Bigger than a beanie baby by just a little, more of a " plush " . And already been around the block a few times, if you know what I mean. His first mama was here yesterday and said when she found him, he was smaller than this baby. It was originally his " mama " .
