Ok this may sound a little strange and ungrateful... I want to start by saying that I have been sooooooo happy with my surgery and weight-loss. But I went to the doctor last week for a check-up/progress report. So far I have lost 135 lbs and weigh 238lbs. My dissapointment came when I realized that I am only 8lbs away from my surgeon's target for me and that he seemed very pleased with where I am now with my weight and body frame, he just didn't seem concerned at all with my losing any more weight. My ideal weight would be 158lbs and I don't fell like I "have" to be there but I would like to be in the 180's. I would like to know what it feels like. So that means another 50-60lbs. I am still losing weight and don't feel like it is "over" yet. Also my mother recently asked me if I was ready to stop losing - I'm just not and I am not ready to start hearing that I look great now and don't need to lose any more. It feels almost like an anti-compliment to me. Anyone else feel this way?

Thanks Becky. I am still not sure if I like the camera or not, but I am not nearly as afraid as I used to be to have pics taken. Cheri

I think that is funny cuz I want a new tat on my neck and lower back just dont know yet what I want!!

Tiffany, YOU LOOK GREAT!!!! I love the color of your dress!!! Beautiful, beautiful!!! Becky P.

Well, the Halloween candy was irrisitable for me. I ate probably three of those little packages of m&m's, and the only problem I had was a little stomach ache, but not bad. I have never tested my dumping ability, so I don't know if that means I dum*****t. I am going to make a sugar free pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving. I have found though I can eat all the fruit I want. As long as it is natural I eat it. Take care, Kimberly
