Topic: RE: Still NOT satisfied!!!
Michelle,
I started out with a goal of 145 and it kept changing little by little til now I want to be at 135. I'm only 4-5 lbs away from that, and I'm worried that I'll want to be smaller when I reach that goal too. I think its all connected with how we see ourselves. I still don't see myself as being small like people tell me I am, therefore I feel like if I lose 5 more pounds I will actually be small like I want to be. We still have this goal or look that we are after, even though we may be there in reality, our perception of ourselves hasn't caught up and we still want to lose. Maybe it would be good to get a recent picture and compare it to a picture from last year. Remind yourself how far you've really come. That usually helps me see myself more clearly.
Good luck!

Hey Donna,
I know what you mean about tylenol not cutting it. I don't take ibuprophen (I think thats why we can't take Excederin) myself but my mom who had the same WLS takes it all the time. Her surgeon never even told her she couldn't take it. She hasn't had any problems.
I would think if it was just once in a while it would be okay.
Good luck hope you feel better quick!

Topic: Still NOT satisfied!!!
Hello everyone...
I haven't been on here for awhile.
I am currently only 4 pounds away from my goal weight of 135 pounds
My surgery was 9/20/05.
I have lost 159 pounds. I am very proud of myself.
BUT! I am not satisfied.. I want to be smaller.
Is anyone dealing with this issue?
Everyone tells me that I need to stop loosing weight because they are afraid that I will get too skinny. I don't see this!
I don't think that I am obsesive about it. I am only 5'3, and actually 125 pounds is a good weight for me. My BMI is 24.6 which is a normal weight. I am so scared that I will end up weighing what I did last year.

Ssssssh!!! Dont tell,,but yes, I have taken the Excedrin PM, when pain in my legs was severe enough to keep me from sleeping. Doc said once in awhile wont hurt, its when you take it on a regular baisis.....it can eat away at the pouch and cause an ulcer...
Shhhhhh..................

thanks Sandy, tylenol just doesn't seem to cut the pain for me, but I know in the past excedrin did. We're a mess, but we'll get through this!!
love
