Hi...

Hi...I haven't heard from anyone lately.  How are you all?  Hope all is going well. I'm back at work full time....finally.  My knees don't hurt anymore.  I had forgotten what it was like to walk without limping and pain.  I go back to the obesity specialist tomorrow.  I am still having trouble with eating the wrong things...snacking on sweets especially but I haven't put on any weight thank goodness.  I have very little will power.  Hope to hear that everything is well with all the August losers.  Fran

Hello Fran,
Been so busy with school and work I dont look here very often.
I have the same trouble as you exactly!!!!! I still eat the wrong foods, but now I just dont eat a whole bag or box. I wish I could say I hadnt gained weight. I weigh 168 today - up from 165 ish. I can/will loose it in a week or so, I always do. Just go back to basics and try my hardest not to snack. Thats what kills me. I still cant drink like I'd like to. Sometimes I get so thirsty when I eat!!!!
Hope you all are well?

Love and best wishes!!!

Hi there my friends!  Nice to see you again.  I have been doing well.  Really, really busy.  Hubby came home two weeks ago, thank GOODNESS!  My daughter has been having pre mature labor, so we are trying to keep my newest Granddaughter in the oven as long as possible.  Had a Babyshower yesterday for her, it went well, but I am wiped out today.  Weight wise, I stay between 130-135 now.  I think I am just going to be stuck here.  I find myself wanting to continue to keep losing, I guess from 20 years of the mindset I have to lose, if that makes sense.    I am able to eat alot more, but I really really have to try to keep the self control.  IT IS NOT EASY, as I am sure u all know.  If I stop the crap, go back to liquid protein and water, I can lose five pounds pretty quickly.  Hope it stays like that.  As for my tummy tuck, the area between my upper belly button and below the breasts swells everyday.  Unfortunately, when Dr. removed the hernias, he had to remove most of my muscle.  That really really stinks cuz I cannot lift much or it really hurts.  I guess you trade some good for some bad right?  We have our Bariatric Ball next week for Dr. W patients.  I bought a lil black dress in a size 4.  It is sleeveless and my arms will jiggle but you know what?  Everyone else there will jiggle too hehe.  Much love to all of u...I miss u all.  I will try to keep up.  GOD BLESS!
