So I saw an earlier post about how someone wished this forum was used more... and I thought to myself... YES! I wish the same thing! Then I started reading about the "reboot" program offered at WeightWise and again I thought to myself... YES! that is what I need. So I promptly called and left a message for Chris.

Now then... what's going on that made me re-visit this site almost 2 and a half years after surgery? Plastic Surgery. A 360 body lift to be exact. I made the appointment with Sawan and paid the man and now I am just waiting for the day... but as I wait I think "gee, I hope I am eating properly." (Pause to open the bag of chips that I procured for my lunch) Hence, the visit to OH.

OK, so maybe I haven't been as faithful to myself (and my new arms...and boobs...and future flat tummy) as I should be.... RIGHT.... so I guess its time to unentangle myself from my Snuggie, give all the Dr. Pepper away to the neighbors and remove the left-over Halloween and Thanksgiving splendor that I have squirrled away.

But seriously, how can I go through surgery and all that pain and just sit there on the couch like a bump on a pickle? Waiting to "start" a new "lifestyle change" is exactly how I got into this mess to begin with!!!! So OMG THIS will NEVER do! I keep thinking "What a fine mess you've gotten yourself into here.... just weeks away from surgery and NOW you decide that you need to quit being a slug?" AHHHHHH so I am just sitting here contemplating whether to start some crazy "reboot" diet now or wait until Chris calls and gives me the 411 (and probably drains my bank account with all those supplements).

Anyhoo, sorry for the rant.... that wasn't what I was getting at here... the point is that this forum was at one time a meca for all things weight loss related... and now... its just me... rambling. So I pose a question to all you dedicated readers:

How long has it been since you reviewed your daily diet? Have you slipped and fallen? Are you trying to get up? What works for you when you need that extra little push? Come one guys, lets talk weight loss here... lets get this forum up and running with the most useful and interesting thoughts!

You go girl!
Congrats

2-2 1/2 years ago, this used to be a VERY active board, but then people just started drifting away.  I'd like to see it start hopping again, myself.  I am not in Tulsa, but I could offer support on here :)

I threw the names at him too!  You will have me, Denise, and Jay just right before you if you need some advice or help you know who to call.  You have done so wonderful on your journey!  Congratulations!!!  -Amy

I am seeing Dr. Sawan on January 3 for a consult!  I have a whole list of names to mention to him!  I can't have the surgery until summer but am going to try to get insurance approval, so that's why I am starting so early!  I am so ready to get rid of some of this skin!  I already had the pannilectomya few years ago, so I don't have the apron anymore, but ewe, I have way tooooooo much skin...however that is to be expected with a 240 lb. weight loss I guess.  I have held steady for the past six  months, and only about 10 lbs down over the past year, but still losing clothes sizes frequently.

I am going to be sure to throw out you guys' names to Dr. Sawan.  I want to look as good as you all do or are going to !
