Hello! Nice to see your smiling face! Sounds like you are doing wonderfully. I am past my surgeons goal...have been for a long time...but I would still like to lose 12lbs. I have never heard of someone being asked if you were genetically thin......that is funny!! I would have said nope....mechanically altered 
It almost sounds like your talking about chicken or something! I too have problems with dense meats at night....it seems the only time anymore that I get sick. I am in the process of plastics.....I was apporved for pannilectomy, but I want a full tummy tuck so I am going to pay the difference.....and since I am going under again, I might as well get the boobs lifted too!!! My consult for the boobs is June 15th, then I will schedule everything.....getting anxious! It is so nice to see everyone doing well!! NO major vacations this summer.....we went to the west coast for 9 days in April, so it will just be a lot of weekend getaways for us....we already did our big trip! I am looking forward to going to Wisconsin Dells this year (we go every year) This year I will be able to enjoy all the water rides and stuff....Everyone Take Care Jesi

Hello everyone,
I will be tarvelling to Africa again this summer for the final burial rites for my dad. My husband and I will be going until august. I hope to bring back pictures and learn how to post them for all of you to see. I plan to leave around first week of june and be back by the third week in august.Yes, we are teachers. One teaches college and the other high school. Most of you would have wondered about the long vac. so I saved you the pondering. I will miss you all whilst I'm gone. I will try to keep in touch from Nigeria if I'm able. I promise to Flaunt my size 10ish dresses when I get home. Please keep in touch everyone and show off your :cool : sizes and your N-E-W YOUS. We've all come a long way.Cheers to you all. Maureen

Stephen, 
I am so proud of you 
You have done wonderful. I have alot of hanging skin issues, especially that summer is coming. I want to hide, just knowing I am going to a Memorial Day Party and they have asked me to bring my swimsuit for the hot tub. I feel like chair: 
but I have found a cover up skirt to put on over the suit. My thighs are so saggy. 
I am going to enjoy this party slim and trim and saggy.
Keep up your great work. You have accomplished so much in this time. I will keep you updated. My 18 month check-up is June 1st.
Have a great weekend ....Lorraine

Topic: RE: Long time......not posting
Hi there Ruthanna, It's good to hear from you.I miss you posting, but we are all so busy in our lives now. Happy, Healthy, and slim. I am going to a "BBW" Convention. I go every year in July. Big Beautful Women. There are maybe near 750 of us that meet. Alot of people have had WLS. We meet in Philly and enjoy one weekend of fun. I used to be very active with Naffa also. That is the National Alliance of Fat Acceptance. In August I will be going with my new and we will be going down to Florida. I will look at the land he will build a home on. I will also visit a friend there also. He is building a home in Cape Coral.
I also have problems with heavy proteins. When I say the word heavy proteins people look at me like I am crazy. You know what I am talking about.
I am at "GOAL" I will be going Wednesday for my 18 month checkup. I am now at 130 lbs. I am 5ft6 and slim and trim. I have lost a total of 115 pds and really don't care to become any thinner. My boyfriend says when he rubs my back, it feels like a xylophone. Did I spell it right?
I feel great. Thin feels great Now I have to maintain this weight loss.
Good hearing from you

I found it was all the cold water I was drinking that really made me cold. I also think the "lack of insulation " is a problem. but its a problem I am happy to deal with. exercise warms you right up. so keep moving!!!
Good luck and remember no candy taste as good as the feeling of thin!
Topic: Long time......not posting
Hi all. Hope everyone from the losing class of December 2003 is doing well. Nona, how is your daughter? Lorraine I read your posts often and enjoy your sharing.
I've managed to maintain.....thank goodness. I range from 118-120....still below the doc's goal of 134 but I am happy. I had someone ask me the other day if I were "genetically" thin????? If they only knew.......
I've have some problems eating "heavy" protein, i.e., meats at night. Sometimes I even get nauseas and desire to get it "up" rather than patiently waiting for it to pass. I just need to try and eat earlier, I know.
Does anyone have some special plans for the summer? I'm looking forward to a trip to Atlanta June 3 to see a lot of old friends then a family vacation (inlaws, children, grandchildren,) in Gatlinburg the last week of June thru July 4th. This TN gal that resides in FL misses the mountains.
Have a good day you guys and gals.
