Denise, Just got back on-line this evening and saw your response. Wanted to send you some big hugs and LOTS of positive hugs to get you thru. You are going to do GREAT and be back home before you know it. I'm doing fairly well. I have my emotional ups and downs with mom passing just 2 weeks ago. It's been hard at times, but I know she just wasn't meant to be here with us in AZ. The house closes in 16 days. We are getting so excited and there is still much to do before closing. The house looks beautiful and I can't wait to get moved in and settled. Wishing your hubby the best too on his job search. Mary

Hi Debbie i am kind of shy about writting but i just recently had my TT I had my bypass On feb 26,2004 and lost over 200 and just had 9.5 lbs taken off on 3/30 it was far worse than my bypass and having my 2 kids was much easier. I wish you luck with yours and if you have any ?'s feel free to write me. Kristina

Hey, Mary.... Weight loss has been real slow going here lately. I've dropped about one pound a month the last few months. Even though the scales are moving so slowly, my body is still shrinking. I went shopping this weekend and actually fit into a few size 10 slacks/tops (of course, they had elastic in the waist). Size 12 seems to be my size right now. I've been real good here lately about staying away from carbs and what I call junk. I ran out of my protein powder a few weeks ago and did not order any until last week. I truly missed it! I can't believe I actually enjoy those darned shakes! I haven't been exercising the way I really should here lately. The weather has been so beautiful that I've been working on the lawn the past few weeks. We even opened the pool a few weeks ago. Can't wait till the water is warm enough to swim. I think us Februarians are to the point where we are having to work really hard to either lose the last little bit or maintain. This must be what "the skinny people" have been doing all along! Have fun swimming and walking Millie! Wanda

What a wonderful thing to happen!!!!! Mary

Hi, My weight loss has basically stopped. I gained a few pounds right after Thanksgiving. I didn't know that I was severly anemic, but that weight dropped off within a couple of days of my first iron infusion. Now, I'm finding that I have non stop munchies. I'm on Lupron injections, and that has put me into chemical menopause. I imagine it is all going hand in hand. I need to get control of my munchies. I'm having my hysterectomy and TT in 7 weeks. I hope the TT will jumpstart my weight loss again, but to be honest I'm happy where I am. I don't have too much saggy skin, other than my tummy and I look and feel normal. I hope you continue to loose, if you choose to. Good luck. Debbie
