Esther, you look fantastic!!! We did some last-minute Halloween stuff. It wasn't as fun as usual. My great aunt passed away on November 1st though it was a day-by-day thing. She loved Halloween so I was pretty sad. But, I already have big plans for next Halloween. lol I love to plan ahead. LOL
They're already playing Christmas songs on one Philly radio station. It's too close for me! LOL

Happy Halloween....I am up to 160 but I go down with a few days of Whey Protein so I am back on track this morning. I had a great Halloween. One man in my neighborhood came galloping down the street on a horse dressed as a man with no head "the Headless Horseman". I love Utah because everyone really gets into Halloween and I am a Halloween lover.
Hope you have a wonderful Holiday Season.
Hugs,
Esther

Topic: RE: 130s for good???
Good for you! I seem to be settled into the 150's, been 154 since July. Of course I want to drop a few more and get into the 140's where my goal is, but if that doesn't happen, I will be okay with it. Lovin' my RNY here too!

Oops... I meant that they tell me that I am too thin.

Hi,
I really appreciate your reply. I have been out of the loop for a while, and I wonder sometimes if I am "normal". Lately, I have had several people tell me that I am not too thin. But I wonder if that is because they have been so used to me being obese. My BMI is around 22, so I think that I am fine. Again, thanks for your feedback. It means a lot.

Thanks! It took a little playing around, but I finally got it to work.
Topic: 130s for good???
Everything about this surgery amazes me. For MONTHS I've been jumping between 138 and 141 going as high as 143. The last two weeks I've been between 139 and 140. This morning I was 137.4. I think I'm really, truly in the 130s to stay!
I love my WLS!!!!!

Topic: RE: WEIGH-IN OR REPORT IN
Well, figured i would drop in and say whats up.
I visited with my plastic surgeon yesterday. He is getting my panni removal pre-approved for Christmas break. I have went from 517lbs. to 225lbs and can't wait to finish with the removal. I feel better than ever. I hear lots of people speaking about a weight struggle at this point and I don't want to disrespect anyone. I guess it might be my age relative to everyone elses or something but I have no problem with gaining anything back. I keep losing. I am crazy active compared to old me and I walk/run/exercise every chance I get. i couldn't before and now that I can I don't want to stop. I am back in college and getting all A's and B's and in line to graduate in Spring 2010 with a double degree in History and Religious studies. I thank Dr. Raft for my life that I never really had...I guess its a second lease on life.
Good luck to everyone. I will let you know how the removal goes.

Hi Joyce! Welcome to the May 2007 board! You and I are about the same size now. I'm loving my size 4s. Places like Fashion Bug and Cato have saved me. I'm able to get size 4 jeans there a lot and the prices aren't that high. I started at 265.8 and I'm about 138 now (I'm 5'8"). I got really lucky because I don't have much loose skin either. I was sure I'd look gross. It's not that bad. I can see my ribs too. My surgeon tells me not to sweat it. He says I look terrific. lol Food and I still have a love/hate relationship. There are days I love it and days I force feed myself. A lot has changed in 17 months. lol
Looks like you're doing terrific! Don't be a stranger here. :)
