hello all, Oct. 20th was my 1 year appointment with my surgeon and I left their quite disappointed. I was weighed and I currently weigh 315.7 pounds. That is a total of 136 pounds lost. I realized again that I have lost only 7 pounds since April. Not happy and wanted to cry. In any case, my surgeon said something that stopped me in my tracks. He actually said that I would probably be able to lose for another six months but not as easy as the previous six months. He also said that he was very happy with what I have lost and he would be perfectly happy if I didn't lose another pound!! Can you believe that?!! Here I am 5'5" and 315.7 pounds. I am still considered super morbidly obese and he is happy with my weightloss. I thought I would become physically sick. I feel so much better than a year ago but I get tired the same and I am still not able to do much exercising, so I know that I have a lot more to lose. I feel like such a failure and have been so discouraged for so long. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I feel as if I am going to have to start all over again and start at the basics. I pray that this isn't my final weight because I don't know what I will do!!! Erica

Thanks!

WTG girl!!!!

Great Job!!!!!! You are doing so good.

On 23 October around 1040 pm we had a new baby girl weighing in at 2.1 lbs. She was due on 14 January but decided to come a little early. Ira is doing fine. This is # 5 for us, we have 10 yr old Mariah, 5 yr old RJ, 4 yr old Aaliyah, 14 month old Micah, and our new born, I think her name is Keerah....but am not yet sure, I will wait till Ira is off the Meds before writing it in stone.
