Me too, me too. I have succombed thoughI've been grazing something awful. I need to be better. I'm concerned that now that I look relatively normal I'm losing motivation. ~barbie 17 from surgeon's goal weight: 167 loss this wk: -3 loss thus far: 109

Hi Norma Hi haven't posted in awhile. I also had surgery on 8/30. Started out at 305 pounds. I am down to 180 pounds with a loss of 125 pounds. I am so excited, but find myself getting on that scale every morning and now have started doing it before going to bed. I think I'm obsessed. When I don't show a loss I even hit the scale. I am afraid to drink alot of water because I am afraid to retain the water and then show a weight gain. I now this sounds nuts. Have you ever struggled with any of this? Congratulations our progress. Your doing great!!!!! Lisa

Hey Kristy, Girl, looking good! Good for you Hey, are you going to Craig Park? Let me know. adios, norma

Hi Julia, I had my RNY on 8/11/04 and so far I am down 148# . I went from 373.6 on the day of surgery to 225 today. So far so good . I haven't had any complecations yet(Knock wood!!!!) This was the best thing I ever did for myself! I am still losing about 10#s a month and I hope this keeps up. I don't have a problem snacking on bad stuff because I just won't buy it and bring it into the house. My husband had Rny 2/7/05 (down 80#s)so he don't miss the bad stuff either. My 14yr old Daughter can eat snacks at school so she doesn't feel to deprived. Good Luck!!!! Leslie

Hi guys, I started at 407 and now I am 281. I cant believe that I lost so much and still have so much to go. I know I should not think that way, and be happy with how far I have come, but sometimes its hard. Most of the people started before WLS smaller then I am now! Well, thanks for letting me vent. Sue
