Topic: RE: Question of the YEAR
How much weight have you lost and are you at goal or how much more do you want to go?
As of this morning, -103. No where near goal. I want to weigh about 30lbs less.
Do you think your original goal was realistic? Too low, Too high?
No, I think it was just right, at about 175lbs, wearing a size 12-14. But I don't think it's going to happen.
What can you do today, that you could not do a year ago?
Where can I start? Jog, fit into booths, wear knee high boots, shop anywhere, bend over and touch the floor without bending my knees and spliting them for my belly to fit, and best of all, sit on Joe's lap without his legs going numb. In fact, he enjoys it. A lot! 
Is there anything that you miss?
Being warm, but I just wear extra clothes. And the occasional eclair. Wait. What am I thinking?
What did this surgery cure for you?
Blood pressure going up, no meds for FM or RA
What are you most surprised about one year out?
How much I can eat. I'm trying to keep it around 1000 calories a day, but it's hard. I get hungry. Didn't think I'd ever get hungry again, not in the same way, but I do.

My reply:
It has been a year for most of us now. How much weight have you lost and are you at goal or how much more do you want to go?
I have lost 129 pounds (some days up to 134) and am about 8 pounds from my goal weight of 125, pre-plastics.
Do you think your original goal was realistic? Too low, Too high?
I THINK THAT MY ORIGINAL GOAL WEIGHT WAS TOO HIGH. 125 IS JUST TOO MUCH ON MY FRAME I THINK. I AM NOW GOING FOR 115 PRE-PLASTICS.
What can you do today, that you could not do a year ago?
EVERYTHING! I CAN CROSS MY AND IN FACT I AM MOST COMFORTABLE WITH MY LEGS CROSSED. I CAN GET UP OFF THE FLOOR GRACEFULLY, I CAN SHOP AND NOT DROP, I CAN WORK OUT FOR A LOT LONGER THAN I EVER THOUGH POSSIBLE, I CAN GO INTO A PLACE AND NOT FEEL LIKE THE BIGGEST THING AROUND, I CAN GET LOOKS FROM MEN, LOTS OF LOOKS! I CAN FIT WHEREVER I WANT TO GO, I CAN SIT ON ANYTHING AND NOT WORRY ABOUT BREAKING ANYTHING. I CAN HAVE A LIFE AGAIN AND I CAN BE HAPPY!!!! 
Is there anything that you miss?
THE INSULATION!!! I'M FREEZING!!! BUT, I'LL JUST BUNDLE RATHER THAN GAIN IT BACK! ;O)
What did this surgery cure for you? DIABETES...ARTHRITIS IS NOWHERE NEAR AS BAD AS IT WAS, I DON'T GET SICK ALL OF THE TIME ANYMORE! KNOCK WOOD
What are you most surprised about one year out? HOW MUCH BETTER THAT I FEEL ABOUT LIFE, ABOUT ME, ABOUT EVERYTHING INCLUDING THE PHYSICAL SIDE OF IT. ALSO, HOW MUCH I CAN EAT, ALWAYS SEEMS LIKE TOO MUCH. WHAT WONDERFUL PEOPLE YOU MEET WHEN SHARING AN EXPERIENCE LIKE THIS. LOVE YOU ALL!
YOUR TURN!

Thanks Diane. You are so sweet and I appreciate your kindness and friendship. I'll let you know about the plastics. My last appt is on Friday with a PS in New Jersey who is supposed to be very good and less expensive than those in the City. We'll see! Take care, and hope you are doing well.
Topic: RE: 1-year today - Lost 189 lbs
Thanks so much Lorraine. I'm so happy to hear about the "new" addition to your life! That's so wonderful.
Topic: RE: friday is anniverary day--ONE year
Congrats to everbody. My one year will be the 18th. I was 301 (I think)now, 198. My goal is 160-170. I think I will need surgery to eliminate the excess skin that saggggggs so much. Has anybody looked into this yet? Will insurance pay? I can't afford a hospital stay without insurance.
Best of luck to everybody and Happy Holidays.
