G'mornin, and Happy Easter,getting ready to have a Fabulous family dinner today, wanted to reply to saggy skin.I have very good elasticity but even so Oh!! those little folds, Here is a visual, I told my Husband I have gone from a St bernard to a Sharpei Puppy LOL I am 4ft 8 inches started at 205 and down to 120lbs hoping to lose 15 more so ins will pay for TT. does anyone know if BCBS will pay for TT without a full 100lb loss?

Happy Easter Everyone , Happy Spring too . Today is my 10th month since WLS . I am quickly approaching my year and I can tell you this has been one awesome 10 months . Loosing all of this weight ( 148 so far ) has been so overwhelming . I have gone from this very sad .. sick ... obese person to a now alive - healthy and thinner me . I now am begining my maintence stage and just can not get over how I look now . I went from a size 26 to now a size 8 . I still have work to do and still learning about my new lifestyle even at 10 months . In the begining , I promised God and my family that once I reached my goal weight I would begin to give it back . .meaning helping others here and in my community with Obesity . So in saying that Last week I became one of AMOS'S first Obesity Help Support Team Leaders . I begin my training this week . I know this is what I am being called to do and can not wait to get started . So for those reading this pre-op or newly post op .. Stay positive and keep educating your self . Read all you can here .. post on the message boards and please update your profile . Know that life for you gets better and better with each day . For Post Ops - Life is good ! Never forget where you came from and give it back to others here - share your success - your encouragement and update your profile so others can read your journey . There are so many things that preops can get from you . I just wanted to say how Happy I am to be among such wonderful people , and I look forward to celebrating my year anniversary with you . Much Love , Natalie 297-152 --Goalie !

To get things a moving again....Lets hear the saggy skin stories or things that you just cant believe or find funny about the surplus saggy skin most of us now have! This should be fun! -Gerriann 165 pounds gone forever!

I did some exercise today!!! Just very little walking, my Dr still has me off my feet as much as possible. Ok as for my food. B- pkg of 4 cheese peanut butter crackers L- protein drink D- I am making spaghetti right now, and will have about 1/2 cup, and some spinach If fitday says I didnt reach my protein I will have another protein drink. Has anyone tried the new lemon iced tea from nectar? I use unflavored unjury and put it either in crystal lite tea, or sunrise orange. I was just wondering how the nectar tea tasted.- Melissa 298/183/130

I would love a road trip, however with all the Dr appts I have every month, and trying to get used to my lower meds, I dont think I will be able to handle that. If any of you go, I want to see pics, lol. I really hope I get to go swiiming this summer, because it seems I wont be able to do much on Drs orders. Anthony and I were supposed to go Kings Island next week with one of his friends from school, I was told I couldnt go, because I was not allowed on any rides, and with the bleeding I am supposed to stay off my feet as much as possible. This is going to be a long long summer!- Melissa
