Need encouragement: read the August 2005 surgery date Message Board

Hello everyone... For some reason I'm totally re-obsessed with this website since I've been back from my honeymoon.. trying to get re-focused.. trying to re-believe that I can make it down to that pant size that I dream about. Perhaps this 8 months-out time period is just a hard time in the whole WLS process because our weight loss slows and our pouches accept more and more.. and then we doubt doubt doubt.. even though we all are pretty much rocking this thing.. Anyhoo.. I just went and read the August 2005 message board and I'm so encouraged by their posts and anniversary lamentations. The whole thing has really whipped my mind back into shape.. and boy did it need whipping!! Anyhoohoo.. I hope everyone here is doing well.. April R

I will definitely do that. Thanks for the tip! Yes, I think it's getting harder every day, but I still BELIEVE that we will make it. At first it's a marathon, but in the end, slow and steady wins the race. I stayed in the 170s for eight weeks! The longest ever in a 10 pound weight bracket. I was discouraged some, but just kept looking at others' successes. If we do what we know we are supposed to do, we will succeed! This morning I hit 168.5 and I am so thankful. I just hope it doesn't take as long to get to the 150s. But, if it does, I still believe I'm going to get there! We all will! Blessings, Sherry 259/168.5/130

DANG Sherry I didn't know who you were!!!!!!!!!! girl you look good

Thanks! I have to look at pictures to see the difference. I still see the much larger lady in the mirror. Thanks for the compliment! Sherry

Just checked your profile. I bet it's time for you to have a new picture, too. It's been almost six months. Come on and update that picture!!!

OMG.. I have to say it too.. you look absolutely amazing!!! April R

I have more pictures that are now also outdated. I am not a computer person and I have just about given up trying to get them on line. If you see a puter flying by Deer Park from the island don't worry its just mine
