Just wanted to let you all know that Eric is coming in tomorrow!! I am so damn excited I can hardly stand it. I have a crap load of housework to do tonight, but it will keep me busy, so it is ok. I hope you all are doing well, and I want to thank you all for your thoughts and prayers for my husband. I love each and every one of you!! Nickie

i thought i was getting a head cold last week- but it really didn't hit me.. then yesterday i was driving to work- and was so sick to my stomach and was really lightheaded/dizzy- and many of the teachers asked me if i was ok all day long.. boy i didn't feel good- and if i ate- i was worse... I've gained 7 pounds in 3 days.. i'm just eating and eating.. i left work yesterday a little early.. *teacher* this morning i woke up - and i fell- nothing hurts- i'm just dizzy/lightheaded... i'm too stubborn to call and make a dr appointment... i don't have a fever.. laying down i get spins so i can't "rest" just sick to stomach and dizzy/lightheaded... car rides are the worst.. jennifer

This caught my eye so I thought I'd send in a line. I'm 49 and my husband is 42. We've been married 21 years, have two boys ages 15 and 18. I wouldn't worry about the age difference. It is not that uncommon nowadays. Also, the older you get the less difference there is in age realistically. When we first got married it bothered me because it was more noticeable (at least I felt so) but now I rarely even think about it. When I was single back in my early twenties I dated guys younger and up to 15 years older than I was. As far as the children go, unfortunately, they grow up quick. If this were to get serious between the two of you I wouldn't worry about the kids. My nephew is getting married ( first marriage) this weekend and he is 35 or 36. They plan to have a baby very soon so he will be at least 47 before his first one is 11!!! So, good luck to you and I hope you have some fun. Pam

Hi Mo! Great to see you. Glad to hear you had a good time on your vacation. I'd love to see some of my relatives who haven't seen me in years. Many of them don't even know I had WLS and they would be shocked. You certainly look fantastic in you new pic! Love ya too! Tim

I have not posted for a long time, but I have been lurking. I started at 265, my ideal weight is 138, and I am at 135. Nothing is more satisfying than hearing people say that I heed to stop losing weight, I am disappearing. I have to watch that, because I keep saying I will be happy if I lose five more pounds, when I lose the 5 more pounds, I feel I need to lose five more pounds. I think once I get plastic surgery to have all of this disgusting excess skin removed, I will feel happier about my body.
