When I posted on 1/19 I really thought that I would get some,support from my 1/2003 Bandsters,and it sadden me to know that none of you cared enough to even reply or to offer any kind of help or advice. But I guess you all feel that since you don't know me own a personal level you didn't have to reply. I just thought that I would share this with you all. ~Princess~S.2003

I've been so preoccupied I didn't even realize I've reached my 2 yr anniversary. The last time i lost weight was last year. I lost 17lbs and was so proud of myself. But i've been gaining weight back steadily and it's damn scary. I'm so afraid for myself. In November i weighed 513lbs and i have an appointment with my surgeon on Monday and am afraid of what my weight is now. I can't do this on my own. I'm trying to work on it again one day at a time. I quit smoking almost 3 weeks ago now doing pretty good not craving a cigarette. Today i started back at the gym. Just gonna do it one day at a time one problem at a time the best way i know how. I wish there were others i could relate too. i'm told i've lost a lot of weight. And i know i have it's just it isn't the same as seeing someone else go and have the surgery and coming out with the dreams i only have of looking half as good. I still have a ton of weight I'd like to lose like another 350lbs. I've even gone to the point of asking my surgeon to please hospitaize me. I feel like I can only be successful in a controlled environment. Without that i feel so hopeless. Lately i've even been toying with the idea of having the procedure done again. I'd be willing to go through all I went through again just to be normal.

yes 3 people gain most of thrir weight back myself i gain 8 lb back scraed the heck out of me do not want to gain any more weight

Hi DeAnn, I'm still losing but not as fast as I once was. I'd guess maybe around 2-3 lbs a month because I'm eating pretty much what I like (but alot less of it). I'm 10 lbs from my goal but won't sweat it if I don't get there because people seem to think I weigh alot less than I actually do . It's so funny , one of my husbands friends who doesn't know how I lost the weight told him "your going to have to make her eat !" I haven't had a tummy tuck but I did have breast reduction surgery in September of 2004. The surgery left me pretty much flat chested and for the first time in my life I'm actually thinking about "padding" my bra ! It's so funny because now I can go bra-less and no one knows it but me.
