Sorry I have been MIA!

It seems that so much is going on now. I am so ready for Ted to come home to help take care of somethings for me. I hope I can atleast drop-in next week.

Hey!!! I hope Ted comes home soon for you too!! He will be shocked to see you! I am watching Celebrity Fit Club and Carnie Wilson is on there and has gained back weight, but not as much as they make it out to be. She is now 188, and has to get down to 156lbs. It sort of makes me worry about gaining weight, but Dr. Byrne said to me not to worry, his patients don't gain weight back. I am really, really wanting to lose about 20 more pounds, even though I am at goal...160, I am really would like to lose some more weight just to get it really down some more. Is it addictive to lose now? How much more do you want to lose? I am not snacking anymore and trying to just eat fruits and meat and some nuts...although I do throw in the occasional saltine cracker and yogurt with protein powder to coat my tummy for vitamins. I really, really miss you guys and wish I was there for the support. I really want to find a group near me so I can get back into the support system. I really need the support, and miss the group a lot! So, has it been 4 months already for Ted to come home? I bet it was a little bit easier for him to be gone during the summer, seems like a shorter time period and at least not during Christmas or Thanksgiving. Keep in touch and take care and please stay in touch! I am always on the boards...well, most of the time, so email or post whenever....8-D Well, going to get into a fitness program soon...for real!! I did go swimming yesterday!! but I need to swim and workout EVERYDAY!!! Love ya lots and big huggs (((HUGS))) and Kisses!!! Deb

Hey Ms Deb ... Sooooooo good to see you here ... We really enjoyed your e-mail updates going cross country ... Are you all settled in your new home & life now? I've heard the horror stories about regaining the weight as well. I saw an interview with Carney Wilson & she gained the weight during her pregnancy after gastric bypass. She was back on track & not worried. But, it would be soooooooooo easy to slip back into old habits, especially now that my pouch seems to be able to tolerate more food & I'm not having all those problems with dumping. So how is the plastic surgery/Dr Katzen process going? God bless y'all ... Dawn & Nick

Seems we all have been MIA ... Or, at least most of us! Things will smooth out for you as soon as Ted gets home, I'm sure! When's his arrival date? I've been off the boards for so long so if you've posted about this, sorry ... How are you doing now that you're on the Thiamin? Better, we do hope! Did you have your initial appointment with your plastic surgeon? Drop me an e-mail or give me a call when you have a few moments so we can catch up. God bless you ... Dawn & Nick
