Hey Stacy, I've just been thinking about you and wondering how you're doing??? Tracy B

Hi Stacy!! I am appalled at what your doctor told you about having to have surgery again!! Don't get down on yourself.... I battle with this problem daily myself. I had lap rny on January 10, 2005 which makes me two years post op. Believe me I battle with this daily. It never really leaves my mind. Everyday, I have to think about what I put into my mouth. I still would like to lose another 20 pounds, but it doesn't look like it's going to happen. My doctor is satisfied with my weight loss. But I don't think I ever will be. Don't get me wrong, I would never want to weigh 263 pounds again. I'm only 5 feet tall, but even weighing at my current 130 pounds, I still feel fat! I have also been on the Grads Board recently and it really helps to read what other people are going through who have had surgery at the same time that we did. Just remember, that we are still healthier where we are now, than prior to the WLS. Think positive and I know you will get through this. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Hugs and aloha, Pat

Im am so thankful for your support. I am 46 lbs from my goal weight and that includes the 11 lbs. So as you probably have guessed, I have asked many people who have said that my gain filled out my face which looked sucked in as they say. So thank you for your help, and support. I threw out the candy, had strawberrys last night and put sweet and low on them which may be the cause for the sweet and low hang over, badddd headache. I go****er, will excercise, and no more candy!!!! Threw it all out. and watching the sugar, if any, a little bit. So huggs to all, Stacy

Congratulations to you and your new attitude! You look great, and you too have been an inspiration.
