HELLO ALL YOU BRAVE PEOPL...

HELLO ALL YOU BRAVE PEOPLE... YES! I THINK WE ARE BRAVE. WE HAVE BRAVED YEARS OF FATNESS NOW WE ARE GOING TO BRAVE MTHS OR YEARS OF FIGHTING FAT. WE'LL HAVE TO DO IT THE REST OF OUR LIVES IF WE WANT TO STAY SLIM & THAT IS SOMETHING A SLIM PERSON WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND. I HAD SURGERY MARCH 26 2003, I THINK I'M LOSING TOO SLOW (47LBS) BUT YOU ALL GIVE ME HOPE IN YOUR MESSAGES. ALL I HAVE TO DO IS KEEP TRYING & EVENTUALLY I WILL BE AT THE WEIGHT I WANT TO BE....GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF US & THANK GOD FOR THIS MESSAGE BOARD.

Congrats to you on taking this journey. I had my surgery on 3/24. I don't know where you started or what kind of surgery you had but 47 lbs is not bad. I have lost approximately 60, I started at 317 and had open RNY. I feel like I can eat more than I should and try to stop eating before I am full but that doesn't always work. Best of luck and keep up the good work

GOOD LUCK AND HANG IN THERE!!!!! SUE

Hi, Bonnie. I had lap rny on 3/18/03. Down 54 pound as of today. Read my profile for slow slow slow...just starting to go a little faster now. You're doing super super great. Everyone tells me "don't compare yourself to other," they don't understand. I do!!! You'll go at your pace, no one elses....remember the turtle did win the race! You go girl!

Hello Bonnie, I think you are doing great. I had lap RNY March 21, 2003, (in Tallahassee) and I am down 57 pounds. I thought I was losing rather slow also, but from what I am reading from everyone else I think this is pretty normal. I actually gained 2 lbs. last week, but two days later I had lost them again. I have trouble getting in all tha****er we are suppose to drink and I know that would help. You hang in there. We've come too far to turn back. God Bless You!
