I know it's been a long time since I have last posted! I had moved to Florida in October 2006 and I have been here ever since! It diidn't work out with my boyfriend of 11 years, I guess I was losing too much weight for him!

Yes it is awesome to be able to shop in regular sizes. I feel like I belong there now and not someone lost or something. I have not reached goal yet either but if I dont lose another pound I would be happy. I have my health and my life back and that is the most important thing to me. I have lost 67% of my excess weight which is considered a successful surgery by my docs standards so I am happy for that as well. i would like to lose another 30 pounds or so but hey if I do I do and if I dont I dont. i am not worrying about it. =) Congratulations on your success as well. As my surgeon says, "Glad to see this surgery doesn't work" As he says it with a huge smile.

Isn't it great to be able to go into a department store and get into regular sizes. I sometimes find myself going to the plus size and then realizing I can't wear that size anymore. I am in a size 12 now and am so thanklful for the surgery. I have not reached goal but am satisfied.

I saw my surgeon today and I'm bummed. I gained 2lbs in 6 months since I last time I saw him I've stayed about the same weight for about 6 months I can't get lower. I'm still in a 16-18 which stinks. I want about a size 10 or so. He wasn't concerned about it. I just need to exercise a bit more. The nutritionist said I need to get my snacks in. I have to do 3 meals and 2 snacks, which I can't do. I'll try. I've been sick the last few days. Nausea, dizziness, mega headaches, queasy. I saw my headache doctor who said it sounds more like a tension headache as the pain is in the back of my neck and shoulders. He gave me fioricet. Hopefully it will work as I am going on vacation on 7/20/07. That's all for now. Hope everyone is well. Lisa J. in Mass
