My Five Month Anniversary

Today is my 5 month anniversary...Started out weighing 248 as of saturday, i weighed 187......that doesn't mean I will weigh that much today......cuz we all know that darn scale lies sometimes.. The only time I question this surgery, is when I look at my saggy body...(which I have only questioned one time) Of course I still feel like I weigh 248, but I am guessing that will come with time.

Happy anniversary. It is also my 5 month today. Its hard to beleive it. I still feel big and then again sometimes I feel real thin to. Depends on my day and who I am with. Have a great day Barb

congrats on your loss!! I understand the saggy feelin.. i wrestle with it too.. but saggy is better than huge any day i say!! LOL Mandy 249/159/145? sept 20 2005

Congratulations on your weight loss Heidi! You are doing great. I sometimes still feel as heavy as I did when I had my surgery. And then I have days where I feel like I am only 120 pounds. Its crazy. On the days I have that heavy feeling my husband makes sure he "shows" me how much I have lost. Usually he will pick me up....which when i weighed 296 he was unable to do...now he can pick me right up and when he does that I feel light as a feather. As far as the saggy body...I know its discouraging...I look at my stomach and breast some days and think "what did I do" but you know the weight loss brings me more joy than the sagginess brings me sadness. I can finally play with my kids without getting tired after a minute....and for that I would go through anything to be able to do it. We are all going to have times in our lives when we think "HMMM was this surgery right?" and hopefully we will all be able to answer yes. Melanie Clausen

Thanks for all the support in here....you are all great

I read this and laughed, because the other day when I hit 168, the first thing my hubby said was, "Can I pick you up?" I thought he was crazy and just laughed at him. Of course, that didn't stop him!
