Marcia,
Happy New Year to you too! Hope 2010 brings you lots of good living and the strength to handle the parts of life we'd rather pass us by. . .
Take care, Laureen

Hi Marica,
It's great seeing you here! I have not been around here for a very long time! I'm glad you are doing well. I'm not doing good at all, for sure!!! I've been in a long stall! I was losing very slowly. I noticed that we were at one point losing about the same pace. But you are doing better then me now. You look wonderful!!! Congratulations!
I always feel hungry and never get the full sensation. My surgeon and dietitian do not want me to drink protein drinks, but I did much better with them for sure.
You also had a revision? I had stomach stapling way back in Feb 1992. Day of my revision I was told that I weighed 237 I believe. I thought I was 233. Oh well. Anyway I'm down to 177-179, I go back and forth in that weight zone. I'm very upset that I can't lose any more weight. It's almost 6 weeks since I really stopped losing weight. I am so angry at myself. My clothes are show as if I were still losing weight, They are baggy.
I feel like a total failure. I don't want to even see my surgeon! I was suppose to see him this Friday. I canceled my appointment! I really had no choice about that, because my husband and I had to go see his oncologist today and I could not take off work 2 days in one week. I'm a home health aide.
I'm Sorry for venting. Are you still losing weight? I just would like to know if I'm done losing...I heard folks who have revisions some times do lose much slower..Is there still hope for me that I will be able to start losing weight again?
Keep up the great work, you sure look wonderful! How are you feeling and doing? Are you still losing weight here and there? Hugs Alizka

Thank you Marcia.
Happy New Year to you, I forgot to say that. I'm sorry. You are so sweet. I'm going to start using my protein powder again. I know I need to up my protein! And kick those stupid carbs where it hurts them!
I will get back on track!
I'm going to go back to the basics, kind of do the 5 day pouch test. I sure hope I get the full feeling! That would be a great help to me. I'm 8 months 2 weeks out from surgery. So I sure hope I am not done losing! I have started using my Wii yesterday. what a work out! But I can only do so much. I have a very bum left knee! I can't bend it without horrible pain. It got worse after losing weight! It doesn't make any sense to me. Go figure!
At least I did not gain any weight during the Christmas and Hanukkah season, YEA!! Great to see you here again. How are you ding weight wise? Still losing? Thank you so much for the kind words. All the best to you. Hugs Alizka
