Thanks for the words of encouragement. It is definately hard. The emotions get you sometimes. I am beating myself up right now to because for the first time since I had the surgery I am back to work. And my eating schedule is off. I just need to adjust it to my new schedule. It can be so rough. I am trying to get in as many fruits and veggies I can a day since those are so vital. I hope you have a Merry Christmas. And congrats on your accomplishment. Suzanne 300/166/150

Hello again friends and now I think I may have an ulcer!! Last week my bp was elevated and I had run out of my meds, so I drank some apple cider vinegar straight and immediately had some very terrible pains in my stomach. The pain was like some acid burning a hole in my stomach. Since then I've continued to have the pain, especially when eating or drinking water. It is a constant pain. I've been taking tagamet and it ease the pain for a few hours then it returns. Last night I drank some water about 1 am and thought I was going to die!!! I've lost almost 4 lbs since Wed when the pain first started. Will make an appt with my gastro tomorrow. I know I'll probably have to wind up being scoped to make sure its not bleeding if an ulcer is the problem. What else could it be and has anyone had an ulcer since the surgery!!!

Hey girlie! I'm in a similar place. I bounce from 120-124. But at least I'm not losing any more weight. Love your new pic. You look great! Dianne
