Yah, I've been working on the format for the charts all freaking day! Thanks. Sadly, that little black dress pic is what I lady I *WAS* ... hoping to be back there and better, but I'll still probably never be a lady;) xosm

For some reason the stats chart is not working, at least I can not see it and what I do see of it is off. Anyone?

Thank You GG!! You are my new best friend!! Young AND thin........woohooo!!! My boys are almost 10 and almost 8 and they both are going to be GIANTS!! I am five foot nine and DH is six foot 3ish. The boys are both tall, and thankfully neither one of them are overweight yet (thats one of my biggest fears for them)!! Life is defintely good right now, I have nothing to complain about!!

In the beginning before my gallbladder got bad enough to seek help, I'd have pain for a day or so that would go away. It was like bad gas but moving around WOULDN'T make it better. I agree, it's an easy enough test to have done, and you don't want it to get worse. Keep us posted and feel better. xosm

Thanks so much for your support, Sylvia, I really thought [from the reaction I got at my WLS support group] that people were going to be a little critical ... it seems like those folks didn't think we needed to diet or change our habits BUT they were all only a month or two out - except one woman who was a BITTER BITTER woman who was a year out and MISERABLE and kept saying over and over to these newbies that 'YOU WILL gain your weight back' and 'obesity IS a disease that there is NO CURE FOR.' - she was scary but I think she was just one of those people who chooses to be miserable. She also scoffed at my joining WW and said she had never heard of the 'pouch rules' or considered trying to CHANGE her habits when she had the chance. She also seemed to be convinced that she could NEVER change, and hey, if I believed that I would never have had surgery, but that's me. I started therapy for the emotional side BEFORE surgery and continue to go weekly, I started paying attention to every thing that went into my mouth from day one [granted, I think I got lax with my choices, but I was still logging every day]. I am going to claw and fight my way to make sure that this surgery was not done in vain. Anyhoo, I've rambled enough, thanks for your support, I WILL keep everyone updated after I weigh in [I think I am going Thursday, but haven't decided yet]. xosm
