JUST WANTED TO SAY HELLO!

HOW IS EVERYONE DOING? I FEEL GREAT... STILL HAVE A LOT OF WEIGHT TO LOSE BUT I FEEL OUTSTANDING. I AM GOING TO FLORIDA NEXT WEEK AND ALSO UNIVERSAL STUDIOS. I AM PRAYING THAT I FIT ON THE ROLLER COASTERS BECAUSE I AM PUMPED TO GO ON THEM!!!!!! STARTED MY JOURNEY AT 352 NOW I AM 230... I HAVE BEEN BATTLING A COUPLE OF POUNDS... GOES UP AND DOWN.. BUT I KNOW IT WILL BREAK. GONE FROM A 5x TO A 2x AND A 50 ddd BRA TO A 42 dd BRA! I LOVE THE FACT THAT THE BOOBS ARE SHRINKING BECAUSE THEY WERE KILLING ME. HOPE YOU ARE ALL DOING WELL. LET ME KNOW HOW WELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! JEN RNY 11/29/04

You are doing great Jen!!!! You will fit on those roller coasters too, because I went on vacation a month or so ago, when I was 221 and I fit just fine and dandy!!! I am doing very well!!! Now I am down 110 lbs. and finally into the teens in the 200. 217 to be exact!!! What a great feeling that is!! I am in a 40 DD, but I sure wish they were getting even smaller!! Ha, I want a c cup size!! I am wearing 16's and some 18's, it depends on the brand. I am wearing xl now in woman's and that feels so wonderful!! I have so much more energy!! The only thing I notice for me is this: I still look in the mirror and see the FAT Teresa. Not the one who has done so well, and lost all this weight, but the one before. It scares me sometimes. I think we are each our own enemy!! I actually am proud of myself, very much so, but the lower I go, the lower I WANT to go!! Originally, I said I wanted to get to 175, because I didn't even think anything lower was possible. Well, now I am hoping to get to about 155. That would make me very happy. But what if I get there, and think, I wanna get to 145?? Is anyone else having these feelings?? I guess I didn't think I could ever get that low, but the more people I see who have had WLS, the more I am impressed with the number of people who HAVE lost over that 70%! So, I am just wondering how everyone else is doing with that!! Jen, you have a great time on vacation!! Ride those rides and have so much fun!!! I had a blast, and I know you will too!!! ((((Hugs))))) Teresa

Jen! you are doing wonderfully well! congrats and keep up the good work--you are going to fit just fine in the rides......go and enjoy yourself......i am so proud of you! r

Hi Jen! Sounds like your doing great!!!! Hope you have a blast riding those rollercoasters!!! Ride one for me cause I am scared to DEATH of them!! I am doing really well also....I am now down 129 pounds and have 15 to reach my goal....I feel good but am struggling with this last little bit of weight. I am very proud of myself but I also see the fat girl in the mirror (who I was before surgery) I would like to get to like 160 but my doc says no...Like 167. I just see a heavy person in the ,mirror even though I feel great and I know I look better...Weird huh? I have gone from a size 24/26 pants to a 12 and a 2x shirt to a med/large. My bra size really hasn't changed I was a 40D before and am now like a 36D, I think I ned to go to a C cup though. It's geting a little loose in the cup. I guess the rest is good. I do have some saggy skin I want to get rid of...I also have a small abdominal hernia that needs to be fixed. Hoping they will do my TT when they fix my hernia. I go back for my check up on July 5th. So I'll keep ya posted!!! Have a great vacation and keep up the great work!!! Karry 311/182/167 goal

WOW!!!!! Your doing great 122 pounds I bet you feel great. My surgery was 11/17/04 and I have lost 98 pounds reaching for 100. When I had surgery I weighed 365 but heaviest weigh was 420. But I feel really good. Can't wait to loss more. Have fun on vacation Kay

Hi Jen, You are doing fantastic! Have a great time in Florida. Enjoy the rides! You are brave. I am afraid of rollercoasters. Fat or skinny, you won't find me on them. So you're half way there by wanting to go on them. I'm sure you'll be fine. I was amazed two weeks ago when I went to Jamaica and not only could I fasten my seat belt on the plane but I also had some left over to pull. It was such a great feeling. God Bless, ~Angel 255/222/144/118

Hi Jen, Congrats on your success. Hope you continue to do well. SueZQ
