Topic: RE: No Longer Qualify!
Nope didn't snow ( although about an hour from us got several feet) rained quite a bit. My roses are LOVING this weather. Our high for the last couple of days has been in the 40's. We are supposed to get back up in the 60's for the rest of the week though. I LOVE IT! I hate summer. Hate the heat. I have got more done since it cooled off then I did alllll summer long lol. WOW 80's! YUCK crazy weather. ew That is AC weather in my book lol. Glad we wont see anymore of that stuff. *huggles* Felicia =0)

Topic: 150lbs lost since?
I am officially 150lbs down since Surgery Day. I weighed in at 359lbs that day. Today I weigh 208 ( ok so thats 151lbs lol). That also means I am 170lbs down since I started the Pre-Op diet at 378 lbs. Another milestone comes and goes... Next Stop... ONEDERLAND! ( Just 9 little pounds to go!!) I have my 1 year Surgeons appointment tomorrow. Will be interesting to see how my labs turned out. YIPPIE 8 hours (4 each way) on the road for probably another 10 min appointment *sigh* oh well gotta do what we gotta do right! *huggles* Felicia =0)

Topic: RE: Thank You all!
It was so interesting to see how we have all shrunk and what size we are in now. Never did I expect to be feeling like I do now. Like you I am taking pride in myself now. I care how I look when I go out, I wear the jewlery and make up too now as well. Then again I have started working since surgery and that makes such a big difference. I knew my body would change with the weight loss but I did not anticipate all the psychological changes I have gone through, and all for the better. It is so hard for me to remember back to when we were only allowed to drink the clear liquids or eating the pureed foods. Seems like ages ago, honestly. But this is now a life style for me and it does not bother me at all to be eating like I do. As you said, now to just maintain or keep off what we have lost. A whole new way of thinking and eating probably. Well, take care and enjoy everyday that we are given.........Gay

Topic: RE: HI ALL
Hey Susan, Great to hear from you. Have you totallly settled into the new house yet or are there still boxes all over the place. I know when we first moved here we were finding boxes for weeks after moving in. Alaska was absolutely beautiful, it's a whole different world from the south. We're already talking about going back for another cruise in 2009 but to different ports this time. I get so frustrated reading other peoples posts w/ the amount of weight they're lossing. I've been stuck at the same weight for about 2 months now. Don't know what I'm doing wrong, makes me crazy. Well, hope you've had a great weekend. Talk to you soon, Donna, sfy

Topic: Thank You all!
Thanks everyone for replying to my post on our sizes that we are now. It was quit interesting to see that most of us landed at about the same sizes even though some of you weighed more than others. Some of you went over and beyond most of us in weight and down further in sizes....GREAT GOING GIRLS!!! I think we ALL have came a long way and that is something we can be proud of. If we never do anything else good for ourselves we have done this and that alone is something to be happy about!!! We have been given a new lease on life and now have the chance to enjoy it to its fullest. Don't forget to take the opportunity!!! It is there so lets get out and make sure we live a little before it is too late Here is the changes in me that has taken place in my 1 year and 3 days.... Starting weight: 264 Today:158 Total:-106 Inches loss: 76 1/2 BMI:42.61 Today:25.5...only -5 more lbs and I will be in normal range Of course you all know the sizes that I started out in and what I am able to get into now. I will say this about myself. At 40 years old now I am finally feeling like a woman...how strange is that??? I have a interest in wearing make-up and jewelry now. I used to be plain Jane now I feel so much more different. I try to take pride in myself more. I have been obese off and on threw my whole life but never felt the way I do now when ever I had lost weight. It is strange to me but I guess many good changes have came about with this surgery. I would do it all over again if I had to. I would still hate what I had to go threw with the chopping up pills and eating practically baby food for 2 months but it was all worth it. I just need to make sure I maintain myself so that I never feel so damn miserable again as I did at 264 lbs! Here is to our new life Lisa S
