This is a great support area!

I just had to say that I have noticed throughout this whole experience that having all of the people here to talk to about our feelings is wonderful. We all are going through just about the same feelings and physical things at the same time. I can only imagine what it would be like to think I was the only one going through this and that there was something wrong with me. It seems our main issues are depression and a plateau that we have all hit. I wish you all the best of luck in getting through this. I know we will make it. I remember when we were all complaining about what type of pureed to eat and how we couldn't wait to get past each stage of food..lol In other words thank you all for posting here and letting me know I am not alone in the battle. God Bless you ALL!!! Michelle

Greatly Stated Michelle! I agree 100% Deana

Your right Michelle in this being a great group of people. We all started a new life together in December 2004 "reborn" so we are growing up together when it comes to our WLS We had to learn to eat all over again and now we are crawling like toddlers. We all have our ups and downs and we can relate. Mine is food issues right now but you know what. Give me another year and I'll probably laugh my ass off when I think back on all this Donna 338/190 -148

I agree! I love this site especially all of you December Crew. My problem now is all of the extra skin and my self consiousness (sp)? I know I still have about 55lbs until surgeons goal before I can think about ps but the excess skin is a problem for the self-esteem . Have a great weekend, Kelly

I'm with you Kelly. All this extra skin is gross, but I would rather be saggy than fat and stretched tight. I have about 15 pounds to surgeons goal and he says that maybe at the next appointment (October) we can begin to talk about ps. It is a big self esteem issue, even though I don't have as much skin as I think I do. I hate the bye bye arms and the saggy skin on my thighs the worst, I guess because the rest can be disguised pretty well. Oh well, it will get better...it does everyday Cheryl

So far I'm not hanging to far down with skin but my husband tells me I look wonderful so I guess as long as he is happy I'm happy Like I said before it's only my arms that I cover up with long sleeves Donna 338/190 -148
