Didn't want to let the month end....

Hi Marchers of 2005, I diid not want to let the month end with out posting. I started at 285 and I now sit at 154. I had a few complications along my 2 year journey. I had an incisional hernia repair, kidney stones, and low iron. All in all, not bad. I had plastic surgery at the end of February (TT and arms) and am still healing. I think the mental part of this journey is harder than the physical part. I am going to be 46 and I keep thinking about how much time I wasted being obese. I have to learn to forgive myself. I really am happy with my new "self"physically. I was given a second chance. I am very afraid of screwing up and getting back into my old habits which I know could very easily happen. I hope all of you are well out there. I log on to this website almost everyday and still get a great deal of information from it. Thank you all Terry

Best of luck to you toooooooooooo Lets try to remember what we went through to get where we are today. janice 320/144 53 yrs old 5`1

I had some problems but no big deal. mI feel so good I could dance all night!!! I had adhesions, Gall stones and an ovariasn cyst. I went to the ER in terrible pain and vomiting. I was there three days and they were not sure what my problem was but did find cyst and gall stones. I had had stones for years. I was in a hospital where my weight loss surgeon did not work so as soon as I got out I went to him. He did a lap exploritory on me--removed the gall bladder, found and fixed the adhesions and got rid of the benigh ovarian cyst. I went in the hospital at 1pm and was home at 8pm. Went on a cruise 10 days later. That man is a genious. I go to him first next time. I am down 120 pounds . I weigh myself weekly and try to loose some but usually maintain. Donna
