This is the first time I am posting, I had my surgery November 14, I have lost 90 lbs as of today. I feel great!! a little tired. But there is one person in my life that wants to still hurt me and call me fat. I don't understand it? I have worked so hard not to be called that anymore and this person says it to me when we get in arguments. I act like it does not hurt me. but it really does. This person is my 18 year old daughter. I feel like if she does not respect me. I don't want her around. I don't know maybe I should not take it to heart. You think everything I have been through this would not bother me. Just wondered if anyone had this problem?

Thanks for the info B. I found it very informative. As for my goal weight. My doctor has never given one or even discussed it with me for that matter. I'm going for my 6 month check up on the 25th and I'm going to ask him. I picked my goal weight to be 120 originally because it put me at the normal bmi according to the OH website. I now changed it to 118 a couple of weeks ago based on some other site by Bruce Underwood. To be quite honest, I feel perfectly healthy at the weight i'm at now. Better than i've felt in many yrs. But if more wanted to come off of me,,, who am I to complain God Bless, ~Angel 255/222/150/118

Hi all, I'm currently down 72 lbs since surgery. I'd like to lose another 32lbs. This is the most i've ever lost in my life. So I'm extremely pleased with the results so far. I'm a little jealous of Andrea.j/k We started around the same weight and are about the same height. She is doing amazing!!! She is my role model Well really it gives me hope that it can be done. The fact that i'm so very much healthier is a huge plus! I have a better quality of life now, I couldn't be happier! Good luck and God bless to all of my WLS bros and sisters ~Angel 255/222/150/118

Congrats Carey!! what a great feeling I know. I recently did the same happy dance. I seem to lose the most the week I have my period. So who knows. Just enjoy it! God Bless, ~Angel 255/222/150/118

Hi Pamela, I'm keeping my fingers crossed over here. Praying you'll find something real soon. But while you are waiting, I agree with your friends,, relax and enjoy the time you have off. Take a walk, plant some flowers, go to lunch w/ a friend. whatever you are in to. Do something that you've been dying to do and haven't had the time. You live in CA.. go to the beach for the day. Enjoy the new YOU!! But I will pray you find something soon. ~Angel 255/222/150/118
