i am so tired!

thanks for the advise nita, how much weight have you lost? i have lost 31 lbs., i am 3 weeks out, god bless- amanda

I have lost around 90 lbs. now. I don't know how much you had to lose, but if it was a hundred pounds, your already 1/3 of the way there, so look at it like that. It is frustrating at times. You will go for a while without losing, then all of a sudden, drop 5 or 6 lbs., so don't worry. The surgery is designed so that you have to lose weight. It just takes a while. Reading all the stories about the people who lose 50 lbs. in 6 weeks, etc., doesn't help either. We are all different, and lose in different ways. I did notice that with my losing slowly, my skin has tightened up along the way and I won't need any kind of surgery for extra skin, so there are plus sides to. Keep in touch, Nita.

Thank Nita. Those were some words that I really needed to hear right now.You placed them in the right post at the right time. Denise Baker 9-29-03
