Who would have thought huh.....95 lbs for me. I weigh 158......I'm kind of stuck here....but of course I have been eating a lot it seems. I didn't think I could do it, I didnt' think I would feel this good. I'm not sick anymore.....My doctor PCP said to me. You're a different person. You're not the same, emotionally, hormonally, psychologically or physically. They weren't kidding when around operative time they said. "welcome to the start of your new life". I feel so good. I'm so thankful. I so wish that other people who are miserable in their bodies could brave this. The surgery is hard, but the "not eating" is not hard at all. I wish I could have done this years ago and not "wasted" 10 years of my life being miserable. I never ever want to gain that weight back and I'm so scared? Is any body else scared of that? Have people gained their weight back? I'm terrified of that. Congratuations on everybody elses rebirth. I'm so proud of you. And only "we" the reborn can truly understand that, so thanks for being here for me. Julie

I understand exactly where you are.....I am terrified of gaining! I can pretty much eat anything. I was sick for a week and could not execise, I crave sugar. I gained 3 lbs, I was horrified. I had seven pounds to get to goal--I now have 10 to work with. After the three pounds, I cut most carbs and all sugar. I now feel better and back in control. I have heard stories of people regaining the weight. I do not want to be one of them. I do not want to go back to feeling like a failure when it comes to eating and weight. I have control and I want to keep it-- p.s. I lost four pounds in four days.
