Help, How do you stop loosing weight? What am i doing wrong. I am now down to 120 (5'6") If one more person tells me I have lost to much weight and asks how do you stop I will cry. I look terrible my face is snuck in. I have no boobs. I feel tired all the time. I did not have one problem after my surgery. I was home 50hours after my surgery was finished and never looked back .did not throw up have diarrhea loose my hair nothing. oh and I am so so so cold I cant keep warm. I don't know what to do. I eat and eat all day long I force my self to over eat just to the point that I feel I might get sick. I am afraid could there be something wrong. Should I see the doc if so what one? want to be here next year Carolyn

This is going to sound very trivial, but in this season of food gifts and goodies, I wish just once -- JUST ONCE -- instead of a bag of cookies and candy, someone would give me a meat loaf. There is so much holiday sweetness flying around here that I absolutely crave a piece of meat loaf. Or a pork chop. Or a slice of turkey. ANYTHING BUT SUGAR! There. I feel better.

Okay, I don't know if many of you have noticed, but I've been gone from the boards for a bit. For those of you who know of Son of Satan (my ex husband) he's up to his tricks again, except this time he got legal on my ass. (pardon the profanity) I will be keeping my journal up as best as I can, but really won't be doing too much on the boards. If you want to find out what's going on with me or drop me a line, hit my profile and go down towards November/December and you can catch up on my life. The one I really haven't been sharing with all of you. Basically, I'm asking for good thoughts and prayers for me and my family. Son of Satan is evil. I can only hope and pray that nobody else has to have one of them in their lives. I think I've taken the worst one of the bunch and kept his evil littleself for my own. DANG IT!

Hi all, I am going to see two doctors today for PS consult for my total body overhaul. I am excited to get this done but I have to say the thougt of being nearly naked in front of not one but two docs today is a little unnerving. I have a hard time being naked with the person I love this is going to be hard. I just have to keep reminding myself that they are docs and this is their speciality. I will let you all know how it goes. Tanya -176 with 29 to go!!!

Jane, Merry Christmas! My highest weight was 313, and was 294 at surgery. I once wore a size 28. I am 5' 8" (used to be 5'9"). Today I weigh 143, for a total loss of 170 lbs. I wear a size 4! I had hernia repair and tummy tuck on Nov. 3rd. I have a very flat tummy. That surgery is much more challenging than WLS, though! I kept having problems with built up drainage fluid, and was admitted to the hospital on two occasions, and had a second (minor) surgery to remove more fluid. Tomorrow will be 7 weeks post-op, and I am finally feeling well and have no drainage "pockets". I weigh myself nearly everyday. At the moment I am watching closely to NOT lose anymore weight. I am technically 12 lbs. below my original goal, but am still in a healthy range for my height...but should not lose more. I am just off restrictions from TT surgery, and haven't gotten back exercising yet. I have a date with a treadmill later today, though! Have a wonderful holiday season, my thin friends! It's been an amazing year for all of us! Peace, Kathy
