Topic: RE: My surgeversary!!
Boy do I know that feeling. I think they have just been so used to seeing us in a certain way that they still see us that way. Logan will still occassionally say I am still fat. I know he is talking about my tummy.
I know I couldn't believe it when they asked me. I wonder if they knew I could hear them talking out in the hall. They said because I have worked so hard and have not lost sight of my goal and plus I exercise. Made me wonder if not many people that they do surgery on exercise. I live for it and my hubby is so awesome and if I want to do something extra he takes care of Logan.

Thanks Janie, no I didn't...lol. Today I am waring my size 8 jeans and a small black nice blouse....a small who'd a thunk it. I haven't been in this size since before puberty when I ballooned out. I feel fantastic and that is the main thing.

Topic: One Year Check-up
Hey guys!
Just wanted to let you know I had my one year appt yesterday. Bloodwork is fine, iron a little low, so I'm going to move up my iron from 1 tablet a week to two and check again in 3 months.
I spoke to the nutritionist and she said at one yr out we should be eating a cup of food or less, no more than a cup though. I haven't measure in a long time and I got worried that I was eating more than a cup. So, I measured last night and I was a tad under a cup. I measured my Healthy Choice meal that I eat alot, just under a cup. I was relieved!!!
Also, I know it varies for every WLP and depends on weight/height, but she says that I can cut back my protein to 50. Still need to get that 64 oz of water a day and my iced tea doesn't count because it has caffeine in it UGH!!

Oh Lindy, I am so sorry you are having to go through that. What a weirdo. Some people will just never be happy unless they can hurt others. Please keep us updated on what your doctor says. Have you tried adding more carbs to your diet? I can't wait to hear your 1 year reflections.

OMGosh you are absolutely stunning. I know it is hard but just think of it this way. She has been used to being able to be ugly about how big you were and now she is faced with a new beautiful you and has to come up with something. Try not to let it bother you.
I am getting the "you aren't going to lose anymore weight are you". I just say why yes I am, my doc has set a new goal for me which is 135 my goal is 132 so very close to what I think I should weigh. If my hubby says I think you are losing too much weight I will reconsider. He is the only one I trust to tell me the absolute truth.

OMG unbelievable, I can not believe someone would do that. How many women in your Mom's group? Wonder were they all in on it. Gosh, at least have the nerve to talk to you, how childish. 'They knew you when you were heavy and I'm sure this is just so shocking to them and there could be some jealously. I know that my best friend never talks about my weight loss, didn't tell me happy surgiversary, never tells me that she checked out my website, nothing. It hurts my feelings. I honestly think she keeps her mouth shut because she thinks I should have stopped at 150ish. She's not used to me being thin, so to her I'm anorexic. Give me a break! I love to eat and I am only 5'2 at 123 lbs?? Also, what about the doctors goal? What about a healthy BMI??? I am in the normal range.
I am still in shock over what someone did to you!! UGH!

Happy Surgiversary Lindy. I am so sorry to hear you are dealing with that jerk. I don't know what it is with some people! I hope he leaves you alone.

Thanks ladies. At least I am not alone. This is my first experience with this. My aunt is super vain, and this is the first time EVER that I have beenthinner than her. I don't weigh less because she is short and I am amazonian, but I definitely think I look better and it is probably killing her. Rrrrr... I just wish I did not let it hurt my feelings. I woke up this morning and kept running my fingers through my hair and wondering how bad it really looks. Maybe I cannot see it myself. Rogaine maybe? lol!
