Thanks Belle! Glad to here you are mostly recovered from your LBL and I can feel you on the total weight loss...it is awesome but then you think about that means you used to weigh that much plus what you currently weigh and it is like wow.....

Hey Holly~Way to go on the 3 lb loss!! I know that felt amazing! And congratulations on joining the Y as well. You making wonderful strides towards getting back on track! And as far as my tailbone..lol they said I am developing arthritis (sp) back there...I guess my birthdays are starting take their toll lol I have not had any other problems with it since I went for all those xrays. Please keep us posted on your lab work and how you like the Y. You know we are here for you and for each other!! ((HUGS))

haha this is too funny. Okay remember I posted about being addicted to buying new clothes. Well I just bought this new outfit. Really cute. A pair of very light tan Capris Size 8 and a medium burgandy fitted button shirt with sleeves that come mid forearm. I also spent 49.00 yikes bucks on a pair of very comfy nice high heel sandals. Then yesterday I bought some burgandy nail polish and painted my toenails and fingernails. Went to the strawberry festival and hubby bought me a siver watch and a necklace and earring set....very nice. So because I have group and I like to show folks what they can look forward to if they work hard I wore it all. I feel very nice and good in it all....hehehe. I got a lot of wow I didn't even recognize you's and a doubletake and one guy was going to ask me for my security pass.....lol. He's the one that did the double take. Tooo toooo funny. Man I am really really enjoying this. It just sooooo beats they way I used to feel walking through the hall ways. You know? Anna

Lindy, Thank you for posting. I am in the same boat. Of course I was very sick and am still recovering but I am frustrated. I am 5'5" 115 lbs, and my BMI is still normal at 19.1, but I look too thin. My shoulder blades stick out in the back, you can see my ribs in my chest, and my knees are knobby. My arms are disgusting and EVERYONE who knows me and loves me is concerned. The question has been asked of me several times... what will you do if you don't stop losing??...my answer is usually that I should be ok once I am feeling better now that my bowel issues are fixed. I started eating better last week gained 2 lbs and within 2 days it was gone again. I just have no clue what to do. I was a self pay so the thought of a revision scares me. My gastroenterologist told me that my pouch portion is the smallest he's ever seen, so that only complicates things for me causing me to fear that I may never stop losing because I'm malabsorbing too much of what I take in. My husband forced me to drink an Ensure last week and I was gagging because I am sooooo sick of protein drinks and nutrional supplements. My Dad gave me a hard time and said I was acting like a child for not drinking it and that I needed it. I know I need to gain, but I don't want to have to suffer by eating yucky stuff to do it, so instead i try things like cakes and ice cream which also make me sick. Nothing is working. I see my Dr today and will go back to the gastrenterologist soon for another scope because I'm having an issue with reflux now. If it's not one thing it's another, but somehow in my mind I still rationalize that I'd rather go through all this than be fat again. I know that's wrong, but it's the truth...I can't help how I feel. Lori
