Topic: RE: 7 month anniversary tomorrow
It's nice to know we are at about the same place. Sometimes I feel like I am so slow! I do need a new picture! I've been planning on working on that. You need one, too!

Please don't feel bad, you are not the only one dealing with Post WLS depression. Mine has been AWFUL!! Trust me, you are doing good. I hope counseling works for you, as it did nothing for me, but that is just me.
Topic: RE: Stalls, Plateaus, Depression
I feel your pain sweetie 7 months 97lbs as of yesterday. I work out 4-5 times a week when I am extremely bored, which is all the time, 6 days a week and I feel like this weight is coming off extremely slow as well. I barely can eat and when I do its Protein Protein Protein! I guess we just have to hang in there. After all without this surgery I may have gained 97lbs by now.

WOW!!! Everyone is doing SO well!! Congratulations on your anniversaries everyone! I had my anniversary on July 12th. I started at 314 and I am down to 206 that is 108 pounds down. I am down from a size 32 to a 16!!! I give all the glory to GOD for helping me through this. I feel wonderful and cannot wait to see how He keeps growing me as I shrink.

Sweetee,
You support all of us by taking care of yourself. It takes a lot of courage to ask for help, so again you are inspiring others. Depression is a tough issue that many of us deal with. You have all of us out here giving you encouragement.
Big hugs,

Topic: RE: Protein train rules
Sounds like a good idea butttttt I think I'll wait till fall and the fresh tomato season is over. Oh yeah and watermelon, cantalope, and honeydew.
I love fruit. But you're right, I eat it at a MUCH slower pace than before. Grapes used to be a big problem for me but now I freeze them and eat, at the most, 2 a meal.
I do think I'll be able to make that train commitment in September, tho.

Topic: RE: Where are you loosing?????
I've pretty much lost evenly everywhere. One surprising thing that I've noticed is that the right side of my body has more fat on it than the left side. So wierd.
I had a breast reduction years ago and I've gone down from a 44D to a 34C, my breast aren't sagging, but they certainly aren't as full. I have a little sagging on my arms and some on my belly. Right now my legs aren't saggy, but they sure need to be tightened! I had the most fat around my stomach and that's where I need to loose the rest of my weight.

I'm 37 yrs. old, 4'10". I had my surgery December 28, 2005 and weighed 218lbs.
I weigh 128 lbs now and wear a size 8 clothes. My Dr.'s initial goal for me was to weigh 103 lbs, but when I went for my 6 month check-up he said he doesn't want me below 125. I'm suppose to weigh 118 lbs not to be considered overweight so that's my goal! I've had lots of people tell my I look skinny! It feels good, but it feels so much better to feel healthy! I go to the gym 5 days a week, but my weight loss has really really slowed down!
