I really miss all of you.

I've been really busy. I spend 9 hours each day at school and then come home and study some more so I really haven't had the opportunity to stop in here and say hello.

I'm doing well with my weight loss. I've been holding steady at 130 pounds for several months now. I feel comfortable at this weight but I hate all the flabby skin I have.

I can eat pretty much anything I want. Actually I do eat anything I want. Sometimes it's just a taste of something but that's all I need to satisfy my "need" for that particular food.

I've been very healthy except 2 weeks ago one of 2 kidney stones decided it was time to leave my kidney. I've been in agony ever since. I've never experienced a pain as bad as this before. Not even childbirth was this painful. I keep hoping to pass the stone but it's looking like it will have to be blasted with sound waves. At this point I really don't care how this stone leaves my body...I just want it out!

Well I just wanted to say hello to you all. Thank you for all the personal notes. Everyone here is so kind...I love you all.

Sorry to hear about the kidney stones. I have heard those are terribly painful. Sounds like you are doing well otherwise.

Thank you Michelle.
You and I started at similar weights and are currently at similar weights as well. That's cool!

Hey There, Caribou!!

Good to see you back! I'm sorry to hear about the stones, I know it can be very painful. A friend of mine had hers "blasted", she also said her pain was worse than giving birth. I took her in to have it done. She is all better now!

and Congrats on your weight loss journey and maintaining!!

Kathi G. I LOVE MY RNY!!

Thank you Patty.
You came to meet me and take me to the support group meeting the day after my surgery. Because of that I will always feel a special connection with you.
Thank you.
