Not posted in a long while, looking for my surgery buddies!

Hello All, I had surgery January 3, 2005. I started at 230 pounds and am down to 170 which is not great as far as that goes. I have fallen out of touch with my surgery bussies and wondered if Bev, or anyone else is still around on the boards? My weight loss is a little strange I will have to say. Although I still weight 170 pounds I am down to a size 8-10 pants, 4-6 if it has elastic in them. my arms are starting to sag some and my inner thighs, i hate that! I really thought I would have lost more than i have by now but I wont whine too much it has been a long road and Im thankful I am where I am now. Kim

Hi Kim! I too had lap rny on January 10, 2005. Congratulations, you are doing just awesome!! I started at 261 pounds and have lost 75 pounds so far. I still have 65 more pounds to lose to reach goal. I'm only 5 feet tall, so I don't have the luxury of stretching those pounds!!! How tall are you? By the sound of the size that you are currently in, I think you are doing just great! I have lost several sizes, but I'm still not at the point where I want to start buying new clothes yet, if you know what I mean. I have bought some new bras, underwear and shorts, but that's about it. I'm still not at the point where I really want to start spending any money on clothes. I guess I still need to see more of a change in my body yet. Keep up the great work, are you close to your goal? Take care, and have a great remaining week and weekend! Aloha, Pat 261/185/goal 115-120

I am 5'5. I have lost so many inches but the pounds havent gone off as well, I still have thirty to go......I have had to buy clothes twice now, everytime I buy something it is too little in a couple of weeks it is getting very expensive to say the least so I understand you not wanting to buy any now. If I didint work I wouldnt be either! lol Kim
