Hi Y'all!!!

Sorry it's been forever, but I thought I'd just check in and see how everyone's doing? I FEEL WONDERFUL!!!!! I am down 70 pounds now and I'm finally below 200 for the first time in about 11 years!!!! I actually am starting to feel "normal". I got down to 199 and stayed there for about 2 weeks, but then it just started falling off again. So, those of you on a stall, don't freak out, your body's just resting for a minute. Like y'all, my hair is falling out in clumps. Very charming! Thankfully, my hair is so thick, only I can tell. Still, I'll be glad when it stops,which better be soon because I cannot afford a good wig. I love the way I feel! My knees don't hurt anymore. When people stare at me now, it's not because I'm sooo fat! I actually had a man whistle at me! I was so surprised, I just stared at him! EVERYONE in my life is noticing now and making comments, which I'm just soaking up like a sponge. I have so much more energy, and I am just so glad that I had this surgery. Meats are still pretty hard for me. I know I need more protein. Truth is, eating is a pain for me now. I wish I didn't have to eat. I am NEVER hungry, and when I eat, it's like a chore. I do it because I'm supposed to, but I really don't want to. Water, on the other hand, I LOVE. I drink all day long, and I'm still thirsty all the time. Still, I figure all this will work itself out as I get farther out from surgery and my stomach heals up more. I don't stress about it because I do feel really good most of the time, so I must be getting enough in, right? Anyway, just wanted to let y'all know what's up. Glad to see everyone seems to be doing so great. Talk at ya' later!!!!

Congratulations!!! I bet it is great being in Onederland. I will follow one day. I still have a hard time with meats too. Mostly seafood is all I can handle, and not much of it. Keep up the good work. Deloris

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! YOU HAVE GOT TO FEEL LIKE 10 MILLION DOLLARS- YOU WILL NEED HELP FIGHTING THE LOOKERS OFF I CAN'T WAIT TO JOIN YOUR RANKS!! HAVE A GREAT ONE! RENEE' C

Thats great that you have reached ONEDERLAND.. I have 15 more pounds till then and I cant wait. That is a huge milestone for you and for all of us once we get there..I have no trouble with meats or much of anything for that matter. I dont eat any sweets or drink anything with caffiene, but other than that nothing has bothered me. Keep up the great work..I think this is so exciting, I am so glad I went through with this surgery and would recommend it to anyone that is thinking of it.. Carla
