Hi Kristal I'm sorry you are having a stressful time right now, however you are 88 pounds healthier than you were before your surgery. Did you take your measurements before your surgery, if not, do it now and then every couple of weeks remeasure, it is an uplifter!! You may not feel thinner, but the measuring tape don't lie!!! Did you have a piture taken of yourself before your surgery? If not, have one taken now so that you can see in a few weeks or months the difference those pounds lost make!! I am sure that with 88 pounds gone, you have alot of inches gone too. Try keeping a positive attitude and do things that will take your mind off your body. Rejoice in the pounds that are gone, and the rest will come in time. Rejoice in what you can do now that you couldn't a few months ago!! I wish you much happiness. My surgery was 1-5-04, I'm done 90 pounds and 99 inches, happier and healthier than I have been in twenty years. Keep up the great job!!

Just nuke some leftovers. That is my favorite. Everynight I weight out a dish of 4 oz for me to have for lunch. Good luck, Dawn -64

You are doing great and will soon feel perky again. Our bodies are going thru soo much we can just expect the tough days. Stress is always a tough one to handle - you will make it thru !!! Best wishes. Dawn -64

Awesome. I too love the feeling of my blood actually pumping. Dawn -64

Congratulations Barbie. I know how happy I was when I hit the 50 lb. mark. Keep up the good work! I had my surgery the same day and weighed myself this morning and have lost 55.5 lbs since, plus the 12 lbs before my surgery. I have 45.5 lbs. to go to get to my goal weight. Hope I can get there by the middle of July. Kimberley 248/236/180.5
