Teresa, She lives on Fort Meade...which is very close to Baltimore. She's having her surgery with Dr. Schweitzer at John Hopkins... Hmmm, how close are you to Fort Meade? Would love to meet you while there. I wish I was there on her surgery date (08/15), but I figured she'd need my help more when she gets home from the hospital. Take Care Tammy

Topic: RE: hungry

I am hungry all the time also. I have been eating protein and drinking my shakes again. I am also scared to gain the weight. I wish the hunger would go away. We just have to eat healthy stuff. I can also eat a lot now. I can eat a half of a salad. I can eat a half sandwich. I can eat and I wish I couldnt and was satisfied. I have been spinning and I have to do it 4 times per week to lose and it is hard plus I have to work out with weights and run. I basically can eat but have to work out at least 1-1.5 hours a day to still lose and it is not much I still have 20 lbs to go. I have been staying at the same weight because I am not working out all those days. I have been bad and working out only 2x per week at the gym and then bike riding and roller skating on the off days for a couple hours. Diana

Hey girl! you look AWESOME!!! And LQQK at that flat butt ya got there!

The exercise is really paying off isn't it? Thanks for inspiring us to keep going the last 6 mos and to continue going forward. I know there were days I felt like giving up, but knew coming back I had to keep up with you guys!! I love seeing your results! I see mine, and it just makes me so happy - when I look in the mirror and see- ok- butt is flatter and smaller and well, still working on the ABS, but have taken off at least an inch in my waist and it shows..so I am happy! Oh and I have a second date with a new guy tomorrow

This seems to be going really nice..I don't wanna jinx it. He is 40 and div and his name is Steven and I think he looks really hot in his jeans. He's 5-8 and has a swimmers build and is Latin, and my Spanish is really good. Our date went so well last wee****pt him out till 4am and he told me it was an excellent night. SOOOO..things are getting hotter on LI, and I couldn't be happier !! Hugs

Topic: hungry

I have not been on this site for so long and it feels so good to be back. My 1 year anniversary will be Aug 24th. The question I have and I have not looked back on past messages is that all of a sudden I have been so hungry. I am scared something is wrong with my stomach. It was just like all of a sudden I just want to eat and eat and eat and I am so terrified of gaining any of my weight back. Have you had this problem? What are you doing for it? Also, can we still lose more weight? I hope so and I sure hope this passes and I get back on track. I am very nervous! Any help would really be appreciated!

Topic: RE: Time to Weigh In

hey everyone, surgiversary today (8/10) !! wow, did that go fast or what ? i've been stuck bouncing around 215 for at least 3 months, i hope this isn't the end of the journey because i want to get down to 150 (i'm about 5'10 1/2"). that's my goal, based on my past weight history. nobody associated with my surgery ever said anything to me about what my goal weight should be, in fact, the program's RN/nutritionist said that the definition of success is losing 25% of the excess weight, but i thought she was out of her mind when she said that. day of first consult: 316 day of surgery: 300 could somebody please tell me which of these (316 or 300) should be the first weight in the ###/###/### configuration everybody uses? yesterday's weight: 211 goal weight: 150ish i'm feeling tons more energetic than i can ever remember, went by myself on 2-week vacation to france last month and attended a week-long dance festival, dancing from 10:30 am to 3:30 am for a week straight, who would have had the ability or energy to do that at 316 lbs !?!? course i still gained 2 lbs but maybe the red wine had something to do with that

love to all of you surgery sisters, --justjill

Topic: RE: It's my surgiversary!

hey congratulations, mine is today, 8/10. except i haven't done nearly as well as you have

i've been stuck at about 215 for months and months, with 101 lost since first consultation (85 since surgery date), and 65 left to go. anyhow, still way better than a year ago, even if i never get another pound off, and had a date last night for the first time in oh at least 5 years, and he seemed to like what he saw

good luck everybody ! --justjill

Topic: RE: Thursdays Gym.....

Hey Tam! I haven't walked in over two stinkin weeks! BUT.... I did wear my walking shoes today!

I am walking to my tanning appt. It's about a mile so it's at least something. I have been waivering between 165-170 this week. Upped my water and my protein so I am hoping that helps! We shall see. It's a little unnerving. I don't want to ever see the 170s again!
