Topic: RE: an update
It was really nice to read the incouragement that you were giving. I have been at a stand still for about 6 months. I haven't been working at it. I have lost my weight through just having the surgery. I lost 70 in a year. I dieted for 20 years and knew how to eat healthy right up there with the best of them. I gave up on the dieting to lose weight and put my hope into the surgery. I was losing weight so well that I just eat as normal as I could, but smaller amounts. I still don't eat sugar, I have eaten some lately and I didn't get sick like I use to. But after reading the posted statements about letting yourseft get use to the sugar I am going to try to not eat it at all.After reading your responds it remainded me of my weight lost days when I would do the portein and didn't have the help that this surgery has given me. This has made me look at what I am doing now. I would move heaven and earth to lose weight before the surgery and then gain it back again. Now I am playing around. I see now that I need to get with it and do the things that I know will work. I might be able to get a net loss of 3-4 lbs. I'll take those odds. Thanks for sharing.

Topic: Hows everyone doing!
It has been over a year now and I feel that I am doing great! I have never been this weight even as a kid in 5th grade. I never would of thought that I would be where I am today! I still see an image of someone heavy..... I think that is what takes time. You lose the wieght fast and me being heavy all my life it is hard for the mental part of my mind to adjust. I am ok with the eating part of everything....... How are you all doing so far!

Christina,
I feel your pain... The plastics issue is a sad thing.. I want it so badly.. I never thought it would matter.. but having the body I wanted at the weight I wanted was such a wonderful goal.. who knew (or cared at that point) that we would be wearing this saggy wrinkly overcoat on top of that new body Good luck.. you can do it.. and keep us posted on your progress.
