Hi Angela, I was thinking about you today and was wondering how you were doing. I hope you are healing well and feeling better everyday. Take care, Sherry

I am 2 1/2 months post op, and feeling great, but I still feel huge. I still have a long way to go, but at least the first 50 is gone. I thought by now I would start to feel like I lost alot, not that I am still huge and have a long way to go. Maybe it is just a mind thing. Everyone notices how much I have lost, but I can't seem to notice. I am thinking because it is lost all over, but the proportions are the same. My belly is still huge, and still sags, and even though I have lost alot of inches, it still looks the same to me. I read on here about people feeling great, and sexy, and flirty, and all that, but gees, I don't. Is that still to come? I still feel like I am waiting on my surgery to happen. Then I remember, Oh yeah, I already had it 2 1/2 months ago, and I have lost 50 lbs! LOL I know that you have to be feeling the same way! Right? Or at least have felt this way?

Angela went in for surgery on the 30th and I was wondering how she is doing? I hope that she is home and feeling good Let me know if you hear anything. Thanks Suzie-Q

I hate my job and want a new one. I do accounts payable and my boss is the reason I want to leave. He is very controlling and makes really loud funny embarrassing noises. I have worked here for 4 years now and I want to do something else. Does anyone have any suggestions? Suzie-Q
