WHAT IS HAPPENING

WHERE YOU BEEN HUN...
You have been missed from the boards... you know what you have said it all .. it's not about the scale its gaining back what we loss..LIFE !! Take care and don't stay away... and give your self some credit... UGH 106lbs is a lot of weight loss.. good WORK!!..

busy busy busy.  haven't been on here for atleast a month.  Had to go "home" and everyone was trippin about the way I look now.  It made me realize that I still see myself like I did when i was 363lbs.  Everybody else sees a big difference, a see a little difference, the only time I see a real difference is if I look at old pictures of myself.  Ofcouse i feel very different and i can do so many more things.  My life is sooooooooooooo different than a year ago.  I meant to sit down and make a list on my surgiversary, but didn't get around to it.  Also had a friend visit for two weeks, she says after seeing me "go" she's ready to have the surgery.  She kept talking about how much energy I have now, and I've been sick lately and am still doing 100 x's better!  I told her it's the second best decision i ever made and she should go for it.  She was talking about and researching it before I even considered it, but all the negative nellie's talked her out of it. 
Been missing this board!  Hoping everyone is doing well as well as doing a lot!
Smooches

That is SOOOO. Awesome... but I feel ya on the fact that I do not see the difference.. on some days ... my mind does not allow me to see the change.. I believe its an internal issue that we all have to get over.. it will take time.. take care... MISS YA TOO!!

Hi ladies.......do we have any men in our July 2009 forum?   Hmmm, I don't remember anyone.... Oh well.....

I'm still doing great, have lost about 10 more lbs in the past month and another inch or 1/2 inch here and there.. Feeling great and so happy that I had gastric bypass.  When your high school friends use words like "gorgeous" and "youthful", I guess things are workin' for me finally  lol

I'm happier and healthier and LUV the compliments.

My "fat friend forever" friend hardly speaks to me at all anymore.  I think she must have found another fat friend to hang out with!!  lol - oh well, her loss.

I have a boyfriend now and have been spending alot of time with him and doing fun stuff and things around my house.  Going out socializing at our local watering hole and doing just fine with that.   Run into alot of old friends who give me wonderful compliments.  Love livin' in a small town  :-)

Been being good taking all of my meds and getting to all of my follow up Dr. appt's.  Last visit, they took an "after" picture and were amazed at my progress.  Only about 19 more lbs to my "new goal" of 145.   Fitting into a size 14 or 12 (depending on who makes the jeans) and of course, that's about all I wear now are jeans.  Getting ready to buy myself a new winter jacket, because I swim in the old ones.  :-)   Probably will go to Goodwill to see if they have anything decent cuz I'm sooooo cheap!!  lol

Can't think of anything else new......except, I've been VERY lucky in regard to the excess skin.  I should take a picture and post someday, but I've been so lucky that I don't have so much, some, but tolerable for me  ;-)

toodles all....

AWESOME Luanne... take care

Oh boy I didn't realize how long its been since I signed on. I don't recognize any of you. You have built your own little community. I SUCK! LOL.
I will have to come on more often! I am doing well. Only lost 3lbs since August but still loosing size weird. I'm in a 12 most the time some 10's. And my top is really petite so Mediums mostly up there. I put on a size 10 from the gap in pants and nearly **** a brick. I have energy for my kiddos now. I like to take them to the park. I have less aches n pains. I love walking and SHOPPING! I went on every roller coaster I could this past summer. LIFE IS SOOOOO GOOD. Gonna try skiing this winter. Makin sure I take calcium so I don't break a bone lol. I can't believe I've been watching life go by this whole time without actually participating!
Every day with food is a struggle. I do my best. Thats all I can do. When I do bad I try not to beat myself up. I just go in my closet and look at pretty clothes and say...yeah I can't do that lol. Glad you all are doing great. I My RNY!!!!

You were missed girlie glad you are doing well take care!!

I couldn't agree with you on the never thought 10s would be my fat jeans... right now i am sitting happily at a aize 7.
