Topic: RE: WEIGH-IN OR REPORT IN
Esther, I hear ya! I am 4 lbs. away from my original goal and am lucky to lose a pound a month these days. I bounce between 154 & 157 and it kills me. One time the scale said 161 and I freaked out! I am a size 8 now and still see myself as a 259 lb. woman! My hottie man husband thinks I'm absolutely nuts. Hang in there and fight the fight, Woman! ~April

HI FRIENDS,
WELL THE STRUGGLES ON. THE WEIGHT GOES UP AND DOWN. I GO FROM 155 TO 163 BUT MOSTLY STAY AROUND 158. I AM GETTING SCARED TO EAT. ARE ANY OF YOU GOING THROUGH THIS EXPERIENCE? MY FAMILY THINKS I AM ANOREXIC BUT I HAVE BEEN 300 LBS. FOR SO LONG THAT I STILL SEE MYSELF AS FAT AND WANT TO LOSE 10 MORE POUNDS JUST SO I HAVE A SAFE ZONE.
ARE ANY OF YOU SCARED AT THIS POINT?
HUGS AND HELP
LOVE, ESTHER

Congratulations Paula! You're doing fantastic! I haven't been on OH myself much. I went from 265.8 to my bouncing section of 138-141. I'm a size 4 which boggles my mind. I've gotten out of my exercise routine and got lazy about my shakes. I guess I just got bored with my new life. Depression ha**** me pretty hard (harder than ever) so I just kinda stay away from the happy world of OH. One of these days I'll be back to my old self. But, we all know life gets busier and mine is no different. All I need is about 24 more hours in each day to get it all done. :)
Congrats on your hard work!!!

Paula,
Good to hear that things are going well for you. 130 pounds away is very good and I'll bet you just feel so much better. The May 07 group seems to have left the room compared to where we used to be. It is amazing that as we all get our new lives, it seems like we start to find a different place for the OH tool. I know that it was one of my questions that I never understood when I began researching my own surgery. "Why did people do such a good job of documenting the process for the first year and then they seemed to disappear. I think that I undertand it a bit better now. I'm much more on the busy side and just don't spend the time I did back in the old days. I made the first year of my post surgery my job to drop the weight. Now, it seems almost wild that I'm here and I just need to maintain. I have to admit that I really have to focus on the "maintain" part more than I thought I would. I posted over on the graduates board many months ago and asked which was harder to lose the weight or to keep it off. The response was very clear that maintaining it was a lot harder. I now tend to agree.
Keeping it off is our focus and I still use my food diary to stay in the right range for the first two meals of the day and then just try to take it easy for the rest of the day. It is not easy to stay away from the carbs at times. I guess we can just do the best that we can. This new life is pretty amazing though.

Topic: RE: Anyone had a PS consult yet!!!
Cyndi that is great! I consider myself lucky too! And even the PS said I am VERY fortunate!!! What I am having done needed to be done prior to WLS and the rest is being picky. but hey I have been this far right! I have friends though that were not as lucky. The longer I wait the more that will nto need to be done. But that is nto what i expected with all the weight I had to lose. I expected it to be much worse LOL!
