Topic: Looking for someone in the Panama City
I would like to know if there is anyone in the Panama City FL area getting ready to have the surgery that would like to have a buddy support. I am preparing for my surgery on the 9th of Nov and although I am ready I don't think that the family is quite on board or understands the full scope of this journey. I would like very much to have a walk/work out partner that knows just how much is needed through out this process I have a complete work out area as well

Hey Bev Its nice 2 see you! I hope your doing well...I need 2 read up on your profile and see how its going 4 u..Im so bad, I havent posted on mine in a long time...even if most of the time its short, I should at least post something!

Hiya Di sweetie (((HUGS))) Tell me about your low carb diet. I'm stuck at 147-149 and I'd like to be on the lower end of the 140's, hehehe. I too have skin issues. I want PS but am waiting for my weight to stabilize and I feel the need to take off some more weight as a cushion in case I gain back some. Am I weird or what?

I was just checking out our board and realized that no one has posted in a long time...WOW its like when we became "1" we didnt need each other anymore LOL.
But we do...we are still struggling with issues....at least I am. Body image...how do I maintain my wt...plastic issues..I wanted 2 lose more wt...can I lose more wt?
Well 4 me...I hadnt lost any wt in around 4 mtns.....I was happy at 139-142lbs....but didnt look as good as I wished..so I thought that I should lose another 10lbs...I went on my lower carb "diet" this mnth and lost another 8-10lbs I am now at 131 lbs...and guess what I still feel that I should lose more....and NO I dont need 2...Its just all the extra skin...it looks bad and NO amount of wt loss will get it off...just ps.
Besides that.... I have issues with shopping...I love clothes but Have more than I need....thus the JOY of shopping is gone...now I need another obession....I KNOW..it should be working out more..ummmm....we will see
SO how are u doing???
Until next time...keep your head up

I too am down to a size 12-14, which I havent seen since I was in high school! I as well am able to eat more than I did 6 months ago and was worried that I would start gaining back some weight. As a matter of fact I have flip flopped up and down 5 lbs over the past 2 or 3 months. Then after about a week, maybe two, I will start to lose again, and this is the cycle that I have found myself in. So far I have lost 156 lbs and would like to lose about 10 more. Excercizing has been the key for me. If I dont miss a day , I only walk right now because of my knees, I can usually lose about 2 lbs a week. But I am about 20 lbs lower than my doctor predicted I would get to, so I am very thrilled about that.
So, I am trying to lose those last 10 and I think if we exercize and watch what we eat, we can still lose a pound here and there!!!!!
Topic: RE: a little forgetful!!
Hi Sherry I am too down to a size 12 and loving it. However, I too am unhappy that I don't dump like I used to and can eat a heck of a lot more that I could 3-5 months post op. Although it is still less than most people, it is enough to maintain my weight and actually gain ( I am flip flopping between 151 and 153). I hope this isn't the end for us!!!
Topic: a little forgetful!!
Hey all!!
I was one year out on 8/28/04 and I can honestly say that one year ago, I never thought I'd make it this far!!! This surgery and post-op was a lot worse than they tell ya!!! However, it is the single best thing I HAVE EVER DONE FOR MYSELF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so excited I had this surgery! I have lost well over 100 lbs, almost 120!!!!! I am so happy I did this. I was a little forgetful to post in August, it was such an exciting time celebrating my anniversary! I hope everyone has this wonderful an experience, and a year ago I didn't think I'd ever be able to tell anyone to go thru with the surgery, but today, I'd tell them absolutely!! It's amazing being a size 12, and being healthy. I am now at the point where I wish I couldn't eat as much as I do!! Although it's still not a lot, I think I liked it more when I could only eat teaspoonful's!!!! Congrats to all whom have accomplished their goals, successes, and anniversaries!!
