There is nothing wrong with you, Yolanda! You are doing great! I have gone from 304 to 231 in five months, but I just want to keep losing. I hope to make 90 lb. lost by my 6 month anniversary, but if I don't, I will still think I am doing amazingly well. I have NEVER lost weight like this before!
You are a SUCCESS!!!
HUGS,
Pat

Hi, Noelle,
I still see myself as a 26-28, not as the 18-20 I am now. I can see it some in pictures and I can surely see it in my clothes, but in the mirror? Not at all. 
Some day, perhaps!

Yolanda,
Of course go to your doctor visit. But how about a support group also. I think as we get farther from our surgery dates the support groups become event more important. And over 80 lbs. What a great loss. You're doing a great job so far and remeber it's just one day at a time. Yesterday was not one of my best days, but to be fair a bad food day now is still better than most of my preop good food days!! So give yourself permission to enjoy and be proud of where you are at right now.

Welcome back, Tiffany! I'm glad you are doing so well! I have been going to the gym three or four times a week since mid February, but last week was a lost cause, I'm afraid. Tomorrow it is back to the gym and to exercise!!!
Take care!

Topic: RE: Hair lost and texture
Hi Petty,
My hair has fallen out some, but not too much, thank goodness, or I would be bald. I wish my texture would change. My hair, even though it is dark brown, is very fine and straight, like a very blonde person's is. It is now even finer than it was before surgery and much thinner. *sigh*
I get plenty of protein too!

I asked my surgeon what goal he had for me and he told me not to worry about setting a goal. He said for me to work the tool that he gave me and he will let me know how I am doing. He said setting goals can lead to disappointments and that has happened all my dieting life. It makes so much sense to me.
I did set some goals for myself and that was in 10lb increments. No time frame was attached to losing the 10lbs. I just celebrated each time I lost 10lbs. I wanted to see my weight at 139 a year post op. I have 9lbs to go so I think my goals this time are realistic.
I would throw your goals out the window and go to your appt. Let your surgeon tell you how you are doing. I think you are doing great.
