Come out, come out wherever you are!

I just wanted to get a representation of the people here on the GA board.

Hi!  My name is Denecia, i'm 3yrs post-op with a total loss of 181lbs and I feel fabulous!

Tell me a little something about you!

I'm LaShelle. Pre-op. Praying for approval spring-summer 2009.  Currently at 319 lbs. Want to be 175-200. Not sure, depends on how I look. 200 might look fine on me, but bad on somebody else, so I won't know til I get there whether I'll be satisfied.

Doing the 6 mos diet unsuccessfully. It is so hard to diet during the holidays.  I have gained 4 lbs since starting the diet. :-(   This is stressing me out. I even dream about food!  Not being sarcastic, I literally have food dreams! Did anybody else go through this?

Hi Lashelle!  I still have food dreams, lol.  Just keep your goal in mind and do your best!

Hi Lashell .. Food dreams are not so unusual.!! LOL  I often dream about being the  little fat boy but Im a girl ofcourse  in willy wanka n the choc factory.  YOu know the one that falls in the choc river!!  Then he gets sucked up and then I remember that Im fat and I get stuck is why I dont need the choc anymore!!  LOL  

About me.  Im post op for 3 glorious months!!!  Lost 62 lbs and fell better than I have felt in Many Many years!@!!   I am now at 252 !  Did I mention that I feel marvelous Darling??!!  
I can now almost completely cross my legs.  Put on my shoes the normal way!! LOL   SIt in a regular chair.. YOu know the ones that are plastic out doors at skinny peoples places... LOL  I used to sit in them but not breath and put all my weight on my legs and then when I got up It would be stuck t my butt!!  LOL   What a glorious ride!! 
Ive had ONE bad dump.  NOT fun and hopefully NEVER again!!! 

Thanks for your post Hershey!
