September Roll Call .. May Babies Unite !

Well lets see, I am about 168 pounds (started at 265 higest weight 282) haven't lost any more weight since March. I try to make good choices when I eat but I have to admit that it doesnt always happen. I am scheduled for an abdominalplasty October 31st. I'm very excited and also very scared scared. I hope that I will be up and around in a couple of days because my hubby can only take 3 days off because he is going on his yearly vacation with his brothers next week and then al lhis vacation time will be used up. I dont want to by my TT off til next year, I want it done and over with. Hope eveyone else is doing Great

I have not lost any weight lately--still at 205 but I have lost some inches!!! I went to walmart and tried on a 16/18 shirt and it was too big, I had to get a 12/14!! I also tried on a 12/14 pair of pants and was shocked when they slid right on. I couldn't hardly believe it. Hopefully the weight will start to drop off again soon.

Just got station in Wa and don't want to be here. But, I went from 255 down to 133 so I'm really happy. I just have to get the big me out of my mind. HOORAY!!!! FOR EVERYONE FOR THE GREAT WIEGHT LOST. Feels good doesn't it.

Life has finally settled down a bit. I was very ill and in the hospital August 1st-11th (non-gastric bypass related) I have been diagnosed with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) www.potsplace.com Anyhoo..I'm back to work and after loosing 14 pounds while hospitilized I am happy to say I'm back to 150 and holding steady. I was down to 137 in the hospital and I felt "gaunt" at that weight. Mngal 254/150

Sorry to hear about the POTS. I went to the site you posted-sounds dreadful! I have some heartbeat irregularity when I stand up (was just thinking about it this morning before I read your post) and now I know I have to get it checked out by the doctor (I was blowing it off). I'm glad to hear you're out of hospital and back to work; I'm hoping that means you're feeling better. Hugs, Susan

Hey Nat, I'm down 128lbs with approx 37 to go. (I still can't believe it's under 50!) I've been having some major issues with food, water, vitamins, suppliments, etc.... I've been depressed I think over the past couple weeks and as a result, I've been eating bad foods, not drinking like I'm supposed to, not taking my vitamins or suppliments, and not getting much nutrition in my food choices. No doubt all of that is why I'm feeling so down in the dumps and then I feel even worse when I think of how bad I'm being. I've been throwing up a lot more lately because of my lack of liquids so that has been a wake up call for sure. My DB and I talked last night about it and he's going to help me start eating better, working out, and getting back on track. I just need to have a place to vent and cry to when no one else understands what I'm going through. I'm glad I have you guys!! Ciao, Jessica

Hi there! Things are going ok, could be better, gettting frustrated with myself cause I haven't lost a pound since March or so....gotta get my ass back on track, we'll see. I have lost about a 100 pounds so far....so I guess being 220 is way better than being 320!!! If anyone can lend any motivation, I would appreciate it!! Take care Leigh Ann
