Hey Fran...You're so PERKY!!! little Lilly and I are doing FABULOUSLY!!! She's a really good baby and growing like a weed!!! I've lost all the "baby" weight(27lbs) and am back to work on the other 40lbs I was workin' on before I became preggers. I just started teaching at the Y again this week so hopefully I can get a good start on it. I'm sorry I don't post much anymore but I'll answer if I see a question...maybe now that I'm back to the losing side of things I'll have more to post about. Sharon's doing good just BUSY!!! You know how it goes!!! BIG HUGS Sweetie and keep us talking!! Deanna K

Hurrah.. Yahoo.. Deanna... a weight loss.. this is fantastic.. baby weight is the hardest to lose and you are doing terrific.. Keep up that good work !!! So happy someone answered my post.. gosh sakes what is wrong with folks here in Kansas? Start to lose weight and then NOTHING. no contact nothing.. good heavens.. I am so darn happy to be where I am that I want to shout it from the roof tops.. terrific to drop off even one ounce.. a victory for the day !! and Today is a big victory day.. lost 6 ounces.. ha ha ha ha well hey, you gotta take what you can get.. stay focused and happy.. that is 3/4ths of the battle. Miss the folks posting here and wish we could all get back on line and get motivated again.. Everyone have a great day and stay happy... Love you all, Hugs, Fran

Fran, I am so glad you are on the board! Your energy and optimism are so good for the pre and post op. I really appreciate you!!! I am so sorry I do not post more often. I can actually say that I am where I want to be on my weight loss. I stay between 130 and 135 pounds. TOTALLY unreal to me!! I stay very active and make sure to eat my protein first in order to stay there. I am working to get a lot of skin removed. To get a good picture at the plastic surgeon the other day to send to the insurance I just layed all my tummy skin in my hands and let it overflow so they would get the picture!!! My cups don't overflow anymore, the skin kind of puddles inside my cups now! So good to hear from Deanna!!! Hooray for the weight loss, I never did know what that felt like to lose my baby weight until last year, when my baby was 18 years old!! hahaha! Hug that baby for me! I would love to get together with Sharon, still need to meet you! There is a support group meeting tomorrow, Sunday 1/23/05 at 2 pm at the Johnson County Library at Shawnee Mission Parkway and Antioch, if anyone is going, let me know, I will try to go and meet!! OK, I am going to school, doing classes through my work and just trying to get everything done in one day. I try to read everyday and answer if there is anything I can add for someone. KEEP posting for us Fran, I always look forward to seeing your posts! Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!!! God Bless you all wherever you are on your journey. It's a wonderful ride!

Hey Brenda!!! Good to see you!!! I'll give Lilly LOTS of hugs for ya!!! I sure hope you can get that skin removed...I'm still waiting to see the picture of you in the short shorts and the tank top by the pool!!! I don't think I'm EVER gonna get the plastics done...maybe if I start playing the lottery!!!!!! Take care Sweetie!!! Deanna

OK, Fran you guilted me into finally get myself in gear! Thanks Fran because I have needed to update for awhile. As some of you know I have been dealing with MAJOR medical and personal issues and wanted to have solid answers before posting anything. I have update my profile with a VERY LENGTHY post. It has all the details and more. I have also posted new pics on my picturetrail site...even pics of Deanna and precious Lilly! I admit that with my new marriage, I am so happy and so busy that I just don't have the time to write and read messages as before, but will promise to get back in here at least once a week or so. Big hugs to all! Good luck to those just starting their journey and those continuing the journey with me. Sharon

Hi Fran, I am kinda new to this site, but I read your post and I wondered why there wasn't more activity too. I had RNY November 3 in JunctionCity. Down about 52 pounds total. Feeling great too!! I plan on participating regularly in here, so hopefully you will be hearing from me often!

Congratulations to one and all on these terrific weight losses.. yahoo Okay another day and where are you folks hiding? Come out come out where ever you are... funny now we can say that... Well now, the plastic surgery folks.. I will have to wait in line for the plastic surgery fairy to give out some money or free services before will get this done.. but there is always hope.. after all there was a "tooth" fairy when I was growing up.. so MUST be a "plastic surgery" fairy too.. whatcha think? Fun to dream anyway and I already know that dreams do come true... Look at me now.. now that is a dream come true!! Happy thoughts to one and all this fine day here in Kansas.. What a terrific day to be alive.. Take care and keep posting !! Love ya all, Hugs to each one, Fran
