BOY!!!! http://s3.photobucket.com/albums/y71/StitchzPork/ 2 nd pic in his lil Penis!!

Thanks everyone for your continued support I really needed it, I don't get down often but when I do wow.... It's good to have friends *****ally understand the madeness that occurs sometime when having WLS. Love Joi

Such a wonderful feeling!!! The confidence that was once lacking because of feeling insecure about our bodies as teens has gone bye-bye. No more unsexy frocks that cover...we can step out in the sun, dressed in sparkles, feeling beautiful. I look forward to going down to the shore with my boyfriend... I want to walk around in a cute bathing suit, be held and loved out in public as a normal couple. I don't have to feel sorry for people's ugly looks, because who would want to go with someone so big? I am happy for you both, and your story has given me wonderful ideas about what I'd like to do this summer with my honey bunny :D

OH MY GOD Girl, you look fantastic Congratulations Vanessa

Don't worry, girl. Ten lbs. is nothing after what you have accomplished. Now that the meds are tweaked, you will see it melt off. Go buy yourself a new piece of jewelry or a nice scarf and celebrate. Remember, you just got through moving, and all the stress that goes with it. I ALWAYS plateau when I'm stressed out. My skinny friends say they always lose when they are stressed out. I used to think it was because I ate under stress (pigged would be a better word), but now I know that my body is wired like that. So, relax, have a massage, enjoy the wunderbar scenery and those lbs. will go bye bye. Lou Ann
