Topic: RE: My 6 month update.
Wow Tom , you look wonderful... the new profile pic looks like a whole new person. You must feel like a whole new person too. YOu will soon not only be able to buy clothes in the stores, but in all the places you dreamed about , buying all the latest clothes for men your age. Its good you have had this done at a young age (Im assuming you are young, cos you look it) so you will be healthy for the rest of your long life.
Great work, Tom

Topic: RE: ISN'T IT AMAZING?
HI Judy
I am so proud of you all , you have all done such a wonderful job. So many have lost 100 or more lbs and are in onederland. I always seem to be the whiner and moaner in the group, but I feel such disappointment that I have not been as successful as the majority. I know we all lose at different rates etc etc and we shouldnt compare, but its hard to do all that when you are the one who feels like the failure. I wanted this so badly, and I still do. I go for days and nothing passes my lips that shouldnt, I just dont know what to do anymore. I want success so badly but when I have tangible proof of the fact that this isnt working for me like it is with others, I cant help but be let down, we all had surgery around the same time and it has been such a joyous ride for many of you, and I dont want to take away from the pleasure I feel for all of you, but my heart is heavy with the "always wanting" if you know what I mean..

Good for you, Jen. Its funny the things we get excited about, but I think anyone who has had this surgery would appreciate being "overweight" lol

Topic: RE: Old slowpoke here, finally hit onederland!! wow moment!
Hi, wow good for you!! How many pounds have you lost now? I know you and I are the slow losers of the group, maybe it has something to do with having surgery on the 4th. Im down 52 lbs and still a fair way from the onederland gang. It is nice when someone that sees you all the time notices the loss, because usually its those that we dont see often that sees the changes. What a good son!

Topic: RE: Hello Everyone
Well Alice, I'm not as happy with my weight loss as you. I had surgery on 4/18/05 and have only lost about 77 lbs in 6 months. I feel like a failure. So my other people have lost so much more weight. My start weight was 287 and was hoping to lose at least 90-100 lbs by my six month check up. Also I have come stands still in my weight loss.
Topic: RE: ISN'T IT AMAZING?
Support has amazing effects. I feel like I can come here, post about what I'm going through and not be patronized.
This procedure is the single hardest thing I've ever done for myself but it is also the single most rewarding thing.
I hit Onederland about 2 months ago and will probably struggle with the last 20 pounds (I have 15 to go before I join the Century Club). I've taken the advice of so many people here. I would have gone out of my mind if I didn't have this resource. I also go to my state board but don't relate as well. You all were "under the knife" as almost the same time I was so it seems that we were all "re-birthed" together.
My hats off to all the April WLS patients...you've have done so much more for me than I can ever explain!!!
