Topic: RE: Check me out y'all!
Hi Elisa,
I can't see the pics. I guess I'm not listed on your favorites anymore. Wow! Two years, can you believe it? How is GG? Do you still do the weight chart? I've maintained my weight for a long time, and am not losing, but I happy at the size I am. People tell me I look great. I'd still like to lose more.
Guess what? I had my first real dumping last night. It was awful. I had no idea what dumping really was until it happened to me. I ate some key lime pie which was too sweet, and I ate it too fast. The next thing I know I get really dizzy, my head feels like it is in a vice grip, I start throwing up, my heart racing, and then I had the runs for several hours, and cramping of course. My blood sugar spiked from 91 to 346 in ten minutes. I felt horrible. The worst was over in 20 minutes, and my blood sugar started going back down. Still, I was up all night with the runs. My blood sugar is back to normal today under 100. I feel tired, and have learned my lesson. Anyway, two years post op and still learning!
Take care!

Wow.. I know.. I'll be 2 yrs. on Feb. 14th. OMG.. what a shock to the system.
I've managed to do very well and down to a size 4/6 depending on the maker and item. I had my TT 6 months ago and loving it.
I wish i could afford the boobs. I can live with the rest... legs and arms...
Snacking is a problem for me too. I cna't lay off the chips and chocolate. I try to be good about the amount.. but really.. It is chips and chocolate...
Congrats to everyone on the great job! and together we can keep it up!

Cathy I hope you are feeling better and get healed up soon.
Congrats on the size 10!! That's so wonderful. I'm down to 14/12 but to be honest the 14s are fitting real loose...so I'm gonna say I'm a 12.
I know what you mean about being able to eat more and fight the urge to snack. I am right there with you. I have my coffee daily but everytime they ask me if I would like a pastry to go with it, I really have to force myself to say no. Before I never really thought about it...now I really have to fight to say "no thank you". LOL
Throughout the day I try, real hard, to stay away from foods that are bad for me. I try to snack on fruits and stuff that's not so bad for me. Sometimes I just wish I was back at the beginning of it all...where I would find soup satisfying.

I will be two years on Feb. 27 I am maintaining a 180 lb loss. I would like to lose just about 10 more pounds, but right now does not seem to be possible. I had my tummy tuck done on Nov. 28 and wound up in the hospital right after Christmas with an infection. I have a hole that is not healing very quickly and so have been wearing a wound pump for the last two weeks. It has healed some but it seems it will be awhile till it heals totally. Man do I miss my hot bath's. lol I have not been excercising due to tiredness and pain.
On the good side, after the surgery but before all the swelling started, I bought a comfortable fitting size 10 skirt. I came from size 32-34W so I can't complain. I still have the problems with the breasts getting infections underneath and bleeding, but our insurance says it is still a cosmetic surgery to get them lifted, so that is not going to be fixed, ( unless I hit the lottery!)
Hope everyone else is doing well too on maintaining, I will say it has gotten harder though. I seem to be able to eat more at a setting, and I'm fighting the urge to snack almost every afternoon.
Cathy

Wow guys can you believe that!? Two years since surgery. You might be wondering why I am surprised about this...it's just that I have never maintained weightloss for this long! I am so happy and excited.
How are you all doing?

Hey there!
Gratz to you!!!! My licence still floors me. I get a new one in August. I'm going to see if they will cut it off for me so I can keep the photo of the old one around, to remember where I came from.
Gosh
Topic: RE: Hey Everyone, Guess What??!!
Well I'm not losing but not really gaining either. Other than my usual "monthly gain". It's really hard for me not to step on the scale and panic a little.
I've never lost the 5lbs I gained after my TT so I'm just floating around 135-140.
I don't really want to lose anymore but I DO NOT want to gain.
Glad to hear everyone is doing so good!
