IS IT JUST ME?????

Hey guys, me again. Got a call today said the psycologist thinks I need to see a psychiatrist and psycologist. Did everyone have to do this or is it just me? I feel like things are getting closer and then something happens and feels like I am being pushed backwards.

No this is a normal procedure! They need to find out your mental health in order to help you when you have surgery. You will have some stress due to the surgery and then from losing weight. You will feel very irriatable and sometimes other things are hard too. This is a huge process I know but it is something that you need to go thru in order to make sure that you are healthy and make it thru the weight loss process with flying colors! We are having a get togather in Brookhaven on July 15th at Western Sizzlin. I hope that you can come so that we can meet you. I live in the Brookhaven area but work overseas most of the time. The girls here give great support and we will be standing by to help you thru this journey you are going on!!!!! Cheryl

Hi Kathy: We're neighbors! And yes, the psychologist requirement is normal. Just be prepared to answer about 500 questions. Hang in there! Becky

Hi Becky! I havent seen you on the boards in quite a while! I will bet you are sooo skinny now! HOw are you doing? Cheryl

Hi Cheryl! Oh, I've been around - lurking as usual! No, I'm not skinny - I'm stuck on around 171 right now. I'm dying to get into the 160's. I wanted to be around 150 by June 13 - my one year anniversary, but that won't happen now. Oh well. BUT, I can say that I've lost 137 lbs with the surgery AND I'm 181 lbs lower than my overall high of 352 - so I reckon I won't complain!! How are you? I'm still planning to come to the July get together. Looking forward to that. Becky

Becky, That is FANTASTIC!!!! 137 pounds is a lot! and 181 loss is a good sized Man! I bet you are looking great!!! Dont stress about the other. You will get down to 150 in a few months. But you are doing awesome. Please post some photos! HOw are you feeling? I will bet that all of Summit is talking about how good you look! I am looking forward to the get togather too. It should be such fun! Finally I will get to meet all of you! I have lost 80 pounds and am now 155, have been there for quite a while, but had some clothes made and the seamstress said that the measurements were smaller, so I guess that now it is furniture moving time again for my body. I am feeling good although sometimes my tummy will rebel when I eat the wrong things, but overall I have been working a lot and have done fairly well. If I feel bad, I just go lay down for a while and that seems to help. School has been busy and we have to work thru June. I will come in to Jackson on June 28th, we have a 40 year class reunion on July 1st in Jackson (Provine). I can not wait. We have had a great response, should have more than 200 there, seems as if everyone is coming..... Stop lurking girl and post more! Cheryl
