Sorry I've been MIA. John, I'm sending prayers for Christine today! As for me, I'm not on here much. I've been battling what I now know is cellulitis in my lower left leg. I'm "supposed" to keep it elevated and do the compresses. Well, when you're the cook/maid/slave, it doesn't leave much time for that. Soooooooo it's just been getting worse. I'm waiting for my daughter to finish her shower so I can go mow the grass. Where is dear husband? Still sleeping of course. Sometimes I see the "new me" as a huge obstacle. The smaller I've gotten, the more energy I've gotten. The smaller I've gotten, the fatter and lazier he's gotten. So, needless to say ALL jobs around here have become mine. He's too heavy for our ladder. Gee, guess who is cutting down branches, cleaning out gutters, etc. You guessed it, Cyndirella. So, as thankful as I am for this new me, I'm kind of angry about it too. Sorry to dump and vent but I've been an emotional and physical wreck. So, if you'd like to chatter with me, you can either catch me on Yahoo Instant Messenger ID is Lv2beasahm or send me a PM. I kinda check the homepage here and if there's nothing, I close it out. Hope you all have a great week! * Cyndi *

Michelle, Glad you stopped by! We need to get this forum going again! 13lbs to goal that is awesome!!! Donna

Yes, I know we've all done well, but man! I personally am uber-frustrated with this last stall. I have not lost a drop since beginning of May. Actually have gained 3 lbs. I only had 13 left until my goal and now, there's 16 left to go!! Anyways, thanks for the vent... Preop = 259 Currently = 161 Total lost = not enough

Holly, I am sure you well get your loss soon. It seems to happen when you just give up on the scale so try that LOL! As for 150 by November I am sure you will make it. At this point I am hoping for 150 by my two year anniversary. I have a good friend that is a WLS patient that just celebrated two years and is stuck where I am now (actually I weigh less than her and I am taller than she is.....so it scares me that I too could stall......but my DR says just keep doing what I am doing and I will get there. (I do hope he is right!) Donna

Hello all....seems everyone is doing well!!!! I am not, but I am hanging in there and hoping for a loss soon. Highest 262 Surgery 258 This week 164.5 Loss of 97.5 I will get there one day soon I hope.....Dr. wants me to be 150 by November.....seems like I will never make it!!!!!! Congrats to all.... Love, Holly
