Melanie,,
Isnt it wonderful to be able to say that you only have 20 more lbs to lose!! OMG,,I have never been able to say that!! I have 24 to go to get to my personal goal of 170 and it just sounds so awesome just to hear myself say it!! And I agree with the confidence!! I feel so much better about myself..even tho I still cant see the weight off myself, I know it is!!!
My surgeon is wonderful and I love him so much for giving me a new start!! And it helps that I think he looks like Richard Gere!! !! This new life is wonderful!!
Keep up the good work!!

Topic: RE: How much can you eat?
You are all right!!!!!!!!!! I have read all your posts and agree with everyone here....I too feel like I am eating toooo much, I have had 1/2 of a turkey sandwich, I can eat about 1/2 of a dinner plate, I am also scared and now its time to watch that my old habits dont come back...I worked to hard to let my habits come back, I wish this was brain surgery tooooooooo......Best of luck to all.

Topic: I LOVE MY RNY! YIPPY!!
I am sooooo happy I had this surgery. I just remember the time pre-op when I kept asking myself if I am doing the right thing. Well I know now that I made the right decision. I have only 20 pounds to go. I could stop right now and I would be happy. My health is the best it has been in a long time. I also am starting to feel more confident that this tool will help me maintain my weight, something I could NEVER do before. My surgeon is right up there next to my family as far as I am concerned! Do you LOVE your RNY as much as I do? Are you tickeled pink like I am? I am jumping up and down with joy! This is a miracle! I am so very happy! I feel so blessed! Life is wonderful!!!!

Barry,
That is so awesome, both about your weight loss, and surviving the hurricane and its aftermath! I thought it was funny when you talked about all the little everyday things that are so different for you because I have been thinking about the same things today. Today is my six month anniversary and I thought how much better the seat belt fit as I drove my kids to school. I thought how much better I looked in my swimsuit. I thought (with amazement) about how much energy I still had to chase my three kids around the playground tonight! I have lost 91 pounds, and it is just so surreal!
I am so happy for us all that we were strong enough to make this decision and stick with all the restrictions it places on us. I may feel that my diet is restricted from what I used to eat, but it has freed me to live my life the way I really want to, and to be seen by others the way I really am.
Good luck as you continue to be a loser!

Topic: RE: Easy Shaper or Gazelle?
I dont know what an easy shaper is but I have a gazelle and just love it!! I heard the ab lounge can pinch you some how...I use the sit up bar at the gym but I know you can get it at any fitness store.
Let us know what you pick!!
